Biography
Sneasel was Silver's first Pokémon, that he has had with him since childhood, prior to his kidnapping from the Masked Man at age two.
It made it's Pokemon Adventures debut by helping Silver to kidnap a Totodile, and fighting off Gold's Aipom with Icy Wind. Througout the series, he was has main battling Pokemon, alongside Totodile/Croconaw/Feraligatr. It was also shown to have a good memory of Silver's past, and was used to coerce Silver into remembering it, through assistance from Yellow.
In the HeartGold/SoulSilver chapter, Silver was ambused by a mass off Koffing belonging to Team Rocket, but Sneasel evolved into a Weavile with a Razor Claw, and then defeated all of them with a single Icy Wind.
It is at a whopping level 84, making it tied with Gold's Typlosion (Exbo) for the strongest Pokemon in the Gold/Silver/Crysatal arc (as none of Crystal's Pokemon have surpassed level 80).

In the Games
Unlike in the Manga, Silver's Sneasel is the fifth Pokemon he obtains.
The first time it is used, it is his most powerful, high leveled Pokemon, but in future battles it is his lowest leveled. On top of this, Sneasel had the ability to evolve in the Generation 4 remakes, but did not, which made him increasingly easy to defeat in future battles.
