'''Sneasel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニューラ''' ''Nyula'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Weavile}} when [[level]]ed up while holding a [[Razor Claw]] during the {{DL|Time|Time-based evolutions|night}}.
 
In [[Hisui]], Sneasel has a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Poison}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{p|Sneasler}} when [[level]]ed up while holding a Razor Claw during the day.
 
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)
 
==Biology==
Sneasel is a bipedal {{wp|mustelid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles both a cat and a weasel. It is primarily bluish-black with three bright red feathers for its tail and a single one on its left ear. The ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. The other ear is short and pointed, and it has narrow red eyes. On its forehead and chest are oval, yellow gem-like protrusions. It has red eyes with black eyelash-like markings on the edges. It has long limbs with two large, white retractable claws on its hands and feet. It is perfectly capable of using its claws to do substantial damage. Its claws are also used for climbing trees in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|boreal or sub-alpine forests}} where it lives. It can also bring out its claws to startle foes that attacked it.
 
Sneasel is a smart, sneaky, and notoriously vicious Pokémon, and blends well into the night in order to ambush their prey. Sneasel feeds on {{pkmn|Eggs}}, such as those of {{p|Pidgey}}, that it steals from unattended nests. It uses its claws to poke a hole in the Egg before slurping the contents out. It has been known to form pairs to hunt: one Sneasel will lure the parents away from their nest, while the other steals their Eggs. Although the Sneasel pair works together, they will also fight over their hunt among themselves. As a result of its Egg-based diet, Sneasel are despised by [[Pokémon Breeder (Trainer class)|Breeders]] to the point where they try to drive away or eradicate the former. Sneasel also preys on {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, but the Sandshrew's skin is so hard that it can cause Sneasel's claws to snap off.
 
Prior to [[Generation IV]], {{m|Beat Up}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.
 
===Forms===
Sneasel has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Sneasel.
 
In [[Hisui]], Sneasel has a similar appearance to its Johtonian counterpart. It has a white body with purple colorations on its face, chest, shoulders, and forelimbs. The feathers on its tail and ear are light purple; like Johtonian Sneasel, the ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. It has rounder eyes than its Johtonian form, although it shares the latter's gem-like protrusions, as well as the large claws on its hands and feet. The claws are tipped with poison, and are purple on its forelimbs and white on its feet.


'''Sneasel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]　ニューラ ''Nyula'') is a {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Ice}}-type Pokémon. It is available in all [[Generation II]] games, plus [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon LeafGreen]].
Hisuian Sneasel's sturdy and curved claws allow it to climb and travel through the walls of precipitous cliffs where it lives. The venom from the tips of its claws is capable of invading the nervous system of any prey it scratches. It has been observed that Hisuian Sneasel lacks the spitefulness of its Johtonian counterpart, and it has been theorized that differences in their environments account for the differing personalities. As a result, Hisuian Sneasel evolves into {{p|Sneasler}} instead of {{p|Weavile}}.


Sneasel comes with one of two [[Abilities]]: [[Abilities#Inner Focus|Inner Focus]], which prevents flinching; or [[Abilities#Keen Eye|Keen Eye]], which protects from moves which lower accuracy.
===Evolution===
Sneasel evolves into {{p|Weavile}}.


=Biology=
{{rf|Hisuian}} Sneasel evolves into {{p|Sneasler}}.
==Physiology==
<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; justify-content: space-evenly">
===Gender differences===
A female has a shorter feather on its head than a male.


===Special abilities===  
<div style="max-width:100%; text-align:center;">
Sneasel normally attack by using claw-based moves; such as {{m|Slash}} or {{m|Metal Claw}}. Sneasel are also capable of learning punching moves; like {{m|Ice Punch}} or {{m|Focus Punch}}. Sneasel has the rare ability to know {{m|Beat Up}}, an attack that summons its team-mates to pummel a foe. Since Sneasel bears traits of a {{t|Dark}}-type Pokémon, it can learn certain attacks that come with very disruptive effects; such as stealing an opponent's hold item ({{m|Thief}}), or preventing foes from using the same attack twice in a row ({{m|Torment}}). Sneasel is a very agile Pokémon, making it a tough target to hit.

It can be rather mean as seen in ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]'' when it purposely sabotaged Meowth's food which nearly led to a clash of claws.

===Major appearances===
====[[Harrison's Sneasel]]====
Sneasel made its animated series debut in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'', where one was blocking access to the Flame of {{p|Ho-Oh}}. {{jo|Harrison}} {{pkmn2|caught}} it and later used it in his [[Silver Conference]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. It defeated {{AP|Pikachu}} and then lost to {{AP|Totodile}}.
 
====Other====
Sneasel debuted in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', under the ownership of the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]. He used it, along with a {{p|Scizor}}, to retrieve {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}.
 
In ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]'', [[Rhoda]]'s Sneasel is her sous-chef. It took a dislike to {{MTR}} and deliberately made his food taste terrible.
 
In ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle]]'', a female Sneasel tried to stop a feud between two {{p|Weavile}}.
 
In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', [[Candice]] used a Sneasel in her [[Gym]] battle against Ash. It battled {{AP|Grotle}} and lost despite being at a type advantage.
 
{{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s used multiple Sneasel in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', and ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]''.
 
In ''[[SM060|Getting a Jump on the Competition!]]'', a Sneasel battled and lost to [[Hala]]'s {{p|Crabrawler}}. Its defeat triggered Crabrawler's evolution into a {{p|Crabominable}}.
 
In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a [[Pokémon hunters (M21)|Pokémon hunter]]'s Sneasel and another hunter's {{p|Houndoom}} searched for {{OBP|Zeraora|M21}}, but targeted a {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{p|Ditto}} instead. This forced Zeraora and soon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} and his friends to intervene, eventually leaving Sneasel defeated.

=Trivia=
===Origin===
==Origin==
Sneasel may be based on the ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', a type of ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' often represented as weasel demons with sickles on their front legs and sometimes understood as the cause of mysterious cuts on the skin, especially in cold weather. It also resembles {{wp|black cats}}. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Viverridae|viverrids}}, {{wp|weasel}}-like mammals with half-retractable claws that are sometimes mistaken for cats; its "feathers" perhaps represent the dorsal crest seen on some species. These {{wp|feather}}s could also represent the wind itself, the key element of kamaitachi, as feathers are often associated with the wind, because they allow birds to move in the air and create gusts. Its eye markings are similar to that of ones in Egyptian style, possibly {{wp|Eye of Horus|Horus}}'s.
It may be based on weasels, but it also seems to draw inspiration from 鎌鼬 ''[[wp:kamaitachi|kamaitachi]]'', weasel demons with sickles on their front legs.


===Name origin===
====Name origin====
Sneasel's name is a combination of ''sneaky'' and ''[[wp:weasel|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.
Sneasel may be a combination of ''sneaky'' and ''weasel''. It may also derive from ''sneeze'', an action associated with having a cold or being cold, or ''sneesl'' (Scots for ''to begin to rain or snow''), both in reference to its Ice type.


Sneasel's Japanese name may come from sennyu, to sneak, and an yu, meaning weasel.
Nyula may be a combination of 潜入 ''sennyū'' (sneaking in) and 鼬 ''yū'' (weasel, an alternate reading of ''itachi''). Alternatively, it may be a combination of ''new'', ニャー ''nya'' (the sound a cat makes), and 野良 ''nora'' (stray, as in a stray cat, as strays are usually violent and tricky).

Sneasel (Japanese: ニューラ Nyula) is a dual-type Dark/Ice Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Weavile when leveled up while holding a Razor Claw during the night.

In Hisui, Sneasel has a dual-type Fighting/Poison regional form. It evolves into Sneasler when leveled up while holding a Razor Claw during the day.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Biology

Sneasel is a bipedal mustelid Pokémon that resembles both a cat and a weasel. It is primarily bluish-black with three bright red feathers for its tail and a single one on its left ear. The ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. The other ear is short and pointed, and it has narrow red eyes. On its forehead and chest are oval, yellow gem-like protrusions. It has red eyes with black eyelash-like markings on the edges. It has long limbs with two large, white retractable claws on its hands and feet. It is perfectly capable of using its claws to do substantial damage. Its claws are also used for climbing trees in boreal or sub-alpine forests where it lives. It can also bring out its claws to startle foes that attacked it.

Sneasel is a smart, sneaky, and notoriously vicious Pokémon, and blends well into the night in order to ambush their prey. Sneasel feeds on Eggs, such as those of Pidgey, that it steals from unattended nests. It uses its claws to poke a hole in the Egg before slurping the contents out. It has been known to form pairs to hunt: one Sneasel will lure the parents away from their nest, while the other steals their Eggs. Although the Sneasel pair works together, they will also fight over their hunt among themselves. As a result of its Egg-based diet, Sneasel are despised by Breeders to the point where they try to drive away or eradicate the former. Sneasel also preys on Alolan Sandshrew, but the Sandshrew's skin is so hard that it can cause Sneasel's claws to snap off.

Prior to Generation IV, Beat Up was its signature move, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.

Forms

Sneasel has a regional form: Hisuian Sneasel.

In Hisui, Sneasel has a similar appearance to its Johtonian counterpart. It has a white body with purple colorations on its face, chest, shoulders, and forelimbs. The feathers on its tail and ear are light purple; like Johtonian Sneasel, the ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. It has rounder eyes than its Johtonian form, although it shares the latter's gem-like protrusions, as well as the large claws on its hands and feet. The claws are tipped with poison, and are purple on its forelimbs and white on its feet.

Hisuian Sneasel's sturdy and curved claws allow it to climb and travel through the walls of precipitous cliffs where it lives. The venom from the tips of its claws is capable of invading the nervous system of any prey it scratches. It has been observed that Hisuian Sneasel lacks the spitefulness of its Johtonian counterpart, and it has been theorized that differences in their environments account for the differing personalities. As a result, Hisuian Sneasel evolves into Sneasler instead of Weavile.

Trivia

Sneasel in Galarian Meowth merchandise by Kino Takahashi.

Origin

Sneasel may be based on the kamaitachi, a type of yōkai often represented as weasel demons with sickles on their front legs and sometimes understood as the cause of mysterious cuts on the skin, especially in cold weather. It also resembles black cats. It may also draw inspiration from the viverrids, weasel-like mammals with half-retractable claws that are sometimes mistaken for cats; its "feathers" perhaps represent the dorsal crest seen on some species. These feathers could also represent the wind itself, the key element of kamaitachi, as feathers are often associated with the wind, because they allow birds to move in the air and create gusts. Its eye markings are similar to that of ones in Egyptian style, possibly Horus's.

Name origin

Sneasel may be a combination of sneaky and weasel. It may also derive from sneeze, an action associated with having a cold or being cold, or sneesl (Scots for to begin to rain or snow), both in reference to its Ice type.

Nyula may be a combination of 潜入 sennyū (sneaking in) and 鼬 yū (weasel, an alternate reading of itachi). Alternatively, it may be a combination of new, ニャー nya (the sound a cat makes), and 野良 nora (stray, as in a stray cat, as strays are usually violent and tricky).
