In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 510, Sneasler plays as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Its standout stat is Attack at 130, while Special Attack (40) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Fighting, Poison combination gives Sneasler 6 resistances and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Psychic moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 7 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 135 puts Sneasler in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
