Sneasel - Stats, Moves, Evolution & Location | Polished Crystal

Its sturdy claws are ideal for traversing cliffs. These claws drip venom that infiltrates its prey.

Strategy & Usage Tips

Sneasel is fast with good Ice/Dark coverage! At 115 speed, it is easily a fast choice. Use Swords Dance on it and then it will snowball. Evolving into Weavile makes it even better and it isn't hard to evolve. The downside is that Sneasel is frail, it has a lower Defense, HP stats... and Special Attack is low to the point I wouldn't recommend any for it.
