Sneasel (Japanese　ニューラ Nyula, German: Sniebel, French: Farfuret, Korean: 포푸니 Popuni) is a Dark/Ice-type Pokémon. It is available in all Generation II games, plus Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon LeafGreen.

Sneasel comes with one of two Abilities: Inner Focus, which prevents flinching; or Keen Eye, which protects from moves which lower accuracy.

Sneasel evolves into Manyula in Generation IV.

Pokémon Emerald

A Sneasel scales trees by punching its hooked claws into the bark. It seeks out unguarded nests and steals eggs for food while the parents are away.

Name origin

Sneasel's name is a combination of sneaky and weasel. The name is pronounced as "sneezele", which possibly refers to "sniffle", "the sniffles", "sneeze", or "sneezing", resulting from a bad cold, hence this Pokémon is a Dark/Ice type. Some colds/sicknesses can be brought on by unprotected exposure to very cold weather.

It may be based on weasels, but it also seems to draw inspiration from 鎌鼬 kamaitachi, weasel demons with sickles on their front legs.
