Pokédex Entry

Free Climb Pokémon

It has virulent poison and daunting physical prowess. Preferring solitude, it does not form packs. Sneasler is only available as an evolution from the Hisian version of Sneasel. It is a Fighting/Poison type with pretty high Speed at 115! Close Combat and Poison Jab cover most things, you can switch it up with Gunk Shot when you get it to level 50. Unburden will double Speed after item consumption bringing it to 240, so bring a berry!
