Snattle (Japanese: ワズル Wazuru) is a major antagonist who appears Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
In the games
Snattle is a Cipher Admin whose ultimate goal is to be inserted as the Governor of Orre, presumably to grant Cipher political control over the region through him. He appears to be a very self-absorbed and egotistical man who doesn't take challenges to his authority lightly.
When XD001 drops the S.S. Libra in the desert north of Phenac City, Snattle and a team of Cipher Peons enter the city and lock all the citizens in the basement of the Pre Gym. The Peons disguise themselves as the citizens to maintain appearances and deter outside visitors while Gorigan and his minions retrieve the Pokémon from the shipwreck to be turned into Shadow Pokémon at the Cipher Key Lair.
Initially arriving to find Marcia, a news reporter for ONBS, Michael exposes the fake townsfolk and forces them to leave. He then finds Snattle holed up in the now-abandoned Phenac Stadium, where he holds Marcia hostage and tries to force her into giving him the videotapes she's made on Cipher's activities. After being defeated, Snattle flees town, dropping Pre Gym's Elevator Key in his wake. Michael and Snattle later have a rematch on Citadark Isle, but Snattle loses again. He continues to appear in Orre Colosseum as the final opponent of the second round. After being defeated, Snattle grows to respect Michael and grants him the title Orre's Governor Secretary Candidate, stating he will appoint him as his secretary when he becomes Governor of Orre.
Snattle's Shadow Pokémon consist of Pokémon shaped like celestial bodies: Lunatone, Solrock, and Starmie. He also favors use of self-destructing attacks like Explosion in Orre Colosseum, along with the use of Protect and Endure to combat it. Uniquely, he is the only opponent Michael will face who uses Shadow Sky in combination with Weather Ball, making the latter move typeless.

Quotes
- Talking with Marcia
- "For a prisoner, you're rather hard-nosed, I must say. But it just wouldn't do to have those tapes broadcast to the public. I have been promised the position of Orre's Governor by none other than Master Greevil. So, you must understand, it wouldn't do to have it be known that I have muzzled the citizens of Phenac. If that got out, imagine what harm it would bring to my pristine political record. Now, hand over the videotapes, please."
- "It's so sad that you won't listen to reason. Very well, I suppose you leave me with no option…"
- "Oh! You! Are you the dastardly child who won't stop fooling in our affairs?"
- "Egrog! What were you doing? Get rid of this pest!"
- After defeating Egrog, to Marcia
- "Cut! Cut! If Master Greevil were to see this, he would be most displeased!"
- Before battle, to Michael
- "I have no mercy for anyone in my way, even for a child like you! You answer to me now!"
- Being defeated
- "Duh! No!"
- After being defeated
- "How is this possible?! I've never seen a child so strong! But, no matter! Surely I've bought Gorigan enough time. His precious recovery operation must be finished by now. Today, we will leave quietly. But don't you forget us!"
- Before battle
- "Mufwofwo! So, we meet again. My plan was perfect. The only problems were the utterly useless Lovrina and Gorigan, and… You. You spoiled the brilliant plan I had deviced for Phenac City. And thanks to that terrible, hard-nosed woman, I suffered the humiliation of having my worst moment broadcast all over Orre… To gain Master Greevil's forgiveness, and for me to assume my rightful postion as the Governor of Orre, I must defeat you. This time, I won't be shy about revealing to you the full extent of my power."
- Before battle (if lost before)
- "Mufwofwo! My planning is perfection. I shall be happy to battle with you as often as you wish."
- Being defeated
- "My plan! It was supposed to be perfect!"
- After being defeated
- "Urggggh! My plan! My perfect plan! Master Greevil, forgive me!"
- Before battle
- "I haven't given up on my dream of becoming Orre's governor. Come on, let us battle again!"
- Being defeated
- "My dream! My dream of becoming Orre's governor!"
- If the player is defeated
- "I'm number one! The Orre governor's seat is mine!"
- Post-defeat message
- "In the near future, when I become the Governor of Orre, I shall appoint you as my official secretary. Let that be a motivation for you to constantly better your skills.
- Snattle"
