[[Category:Dark/Ice-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation II Pokémon]] [[Category:Teal Pokémon]]Sneasel (Japanese: ニューラ Nyuura) is a Dark/Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Appearance

Sneasel looks like a bipedal black cat or weasel with sharp claws. It has a tail made red feathers, with its left ear in a similar fashion. It also has a yellow-orange oval shaped gem on its chest and forehead. It has slanted red eyes that are defined by markings that look like long eyelashes.

Special abilities

Its abilities are Keen Eye or Inner Focus. Keen Eye prevents it from losing Accuracy. Inner Focus prevents it from flinching. It is thought to be very good at ninja skills as it is known to move at high speeds to attack opponents.

Evolution

This Pokémon evolves into Weavile while holding a Razor Claw and is leveled up at night.

In the anime

Sneasel first appeared in the fourth Pokémon movie, Celebi: Voice of the Forest, as one of the three Shadow Pokémon used by the main villain (the other two being Scizor and Tyranitar).

Another one, in the episode "Pop Goes the Sneasel!" caused trouble for the Silver Conference of Johto when it blocked people access to the Sacred Fire of Ho-Oh, which was needed for the festivities. It was captured by a trainer from Hoenn named Harrison and subsequently used in the Conference.

Sneasel was one of the two featured Pokémon in the episode "Hail To the Chef!"

A female Sneasel also appeared in the Battle Frontier episode "Duels of the Jungle!" with its evolved form, Weavile.
