Despite its NFE status, Sneasel is a real threat in PU due to sporting an incredible 115 base speed stat, making it one of the fastest Pokemon in the tier. When holding Choice Band, Sneasel packs a punch with its relatively high attack stat, and can break through even some of the best walls in the tier with Triple Axel, such as Venusaur and Wo-Chien.mIce Shard helps Sneasel with knocking low health opponents out such as sweepers like Espeon and Scrafty, or getting damage on faster Pokemon such as Hisuian Electrode and Choice Scarf Zoroark. Low Kick allowes Sneasel to hit Steel- and Dark-types such as Alolan Sandslash and Alolan Persian for good damage. In regard to Tera types, Sneasel typically runs Tera Ice to amplify the power of Triple Axel and Ice Shard, making it so Triple Axel always OHKO’s Florges no matter how much bulk it has invested. Tera Dark also benefits Sneasel by removing its weakness to Stealth Rock and Fire-type moves, whilst also boosting the power of Knock Off to the point where it OHKO’s Galarian Slowbro.
Sneasel typically appears on teams ranging from hyper offense to bulky offense, where it acts as a wallbreaker alongside Pokemon such as Paldean Tauros-F and Hoopa. Sneasel benefits these partners by providing chip damage on the opposing Pokemon such as Florges and Galarian Slowbro, whilst also removing their item, making them easier to deal with for the rest of the team. Sneasel likes partners which can deal with Fighting- and Fire-type Pokemon such as Paldean-Tauros-F, Delphox and Arcanine, with partners such as Espeon, Bruxish and Galarian Articuno. However, even with a Choice Band, Sneasel still can’t muscle through bulkier walls such as Milotic and Bellibolt, so Sneasel enjoy having partners who check them such as Pawmot and Palossand respectively. When using Sneasel, entry hazard support is imperative as it can not function well without it, so having teammates such as Espeon, Tatsugiri and Alolan Sandslash really help Sneasel. Sneasel profits off having other wallbreakers such as Dudunsparce and Arcanine, since it can often struggle to OHKO the opposing Pokemon. Since Sneasel is so frail, it really enjoys having teammates which are slow pivots so Sneasel can safely get in to threaten opposing Pokemon such as Galarian Articuno, Galarian Slowbro and Goodra. Some such teammates are Uxie, Milotic and Frosmoth.
