Stats & Training
Sneasler's all-in on Attack at the expense of Sp. Atk. The physical lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 2 Attack EVs and follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Because of Sneasler’s virulent poison and daunting physical prowess, no other species could hope to best it on the frozen highlands. Preferring solitude, this species does not form packs.
Sneasler Weakness
Sneasler's Fighting/Poison typing leaves it vulnerable to Psychic, Ground, and Flying. Psychic hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. With 80 HP and balanced defenses, Sneasler can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Sneasler Guide
In Legends: Arceus, Sneasler has a 510 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Legends: Arceus's meta. It works best as a sweeper. Base 130 Attack is where it shines.
Pressure increases the PP cost of moves targetting the Pokémon by one. That's the one you want on Sneasler. Poison Touch is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Unburden works too if your team needs something different.
In Legends: Arceus, Sneasler fills the sweeper role. It's a physical attacker with base 130 Attack. Base 120 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
For Legends: Arceus, Sneasler has answers, but so do you. Priority moves (Mach Punch, Aqua Jet, Ice Shard) bypass its speed. Bulky walls that resist its STAB also shut it down.
Game Availability
Introduced in Sword & Shield, Sneasler has appeared in 2 games across 3 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
