Trivia
- Prior to the introduction of the Modified Format, this card ran rampant in decks mainly because of the ability to do up to 140 damage on the second turn provided a deck's setup went smoothly, combined with its zero Retreat Cost. When the first Modified Format (Team Rocket on) came into play, this Sneasel was specifically singled out and banned from the format. Later joined by Slowking, it would remain banned from the Modified Format until the Neo Genesis set was rotated out of the format in the second rotation.
