Sneasel (Japanese ニューラ Nyula) 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.

Biology

Physiology

Snealsel seems to be a bipedal weasel with two claws on each paw or hand. It has three tails and seems feminine in appearance due to its "eyelashes" and its voice. It always uses claw-based moves to strengthen its claws.

Gender differences

A female has a shorter red feather on its head than a male.

Special abilities

Sneasel normally attack by using claw-based moves; such as Slash or Metal Claw. Sneasel are also capable of learning punching moves; like Ice Punch or Focus Punch. Sneasel has the rare ability to know Beat Up, an attack that summons its team-mates to pummel a foe. Since Sneasel bears traits of a Dark-type Pokémon, it can learn certain attacks that come with very disruptive effects; such as stealing an opponent's hold item (Thief), or preventing foes from using the same attack twice in a row (Torment). Sneasel is a very agile Pokémon, making it a tough target to hit.

Behavior

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

Habitat

Sneasel generally live in forests.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Trivia

Origin

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.

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.

Sneasel's Japanese name may come from sennyu, to sneak, and an yu, meaning weasel.
