move 4: Dynamic Punch / Thief
item: Leftovers / No Item

[SET COMMENTS]
Sneasel holds two incredibly valuable defensive niches in GSC NU—it is one of the few Pokemon with instant recovery in the tier, and it is one of the only three Dark-types. The latter grants it a valuable immunity to the main STAB move of the best Pokemon in the tier, Xatu, although Sneasel should still watch for Drill Peck. Sneasel fits very well on Spikes teams due to Toxic; this compounding chip damage is complemented by Sneasel's incredible Speed, being tied for the second highest in the tier behind Dugtrio, and decent Attack stat, the combination of which lets it revenge kill threats such as Primeape and Rapidash when they are at low health. Sneasel fares well against some of the bulky RestTalk users of the tier such as Dewgong and Xatu thanks to its decent Special Defense. However, Sneasel is quite frail on the physical side, which means almost every physical attacker can 3HKO or 2HKO it. Sneasel is also almost worthless if it is paralyzed, since it is forced to burn through Moonlight's 8 PP much more quickly and loses its ability to outspeed anything. Due to Sneasel's unfortunate lack of a physical STAB, Return is Sneasel's most reliable source of damage. Moonlight is Sneasel's most valuable tool, giving it excellent longevity, and Sneasel has plenty of opportunities to regain HP thanks to its Speed. Toxic is used to cripple Fire- and Fighting-types that lack Rest and tend to switch into Sneasel, such as Magmar and Primeape. Moonlight and Toxic in particular pair very well on Sneasel, since it can use Moonlight until the foe is worn down due to Toxic. For Sneasel's last move, Dynamic Punch lets Sneasel 3HKO Rock-types and 2HKO the dangerous Magnemite. Alternatively, Thief fits well on Sneasel, since a lot of Pokemon that Sneasel lures in, such as Weezing and Primeape, greatly dislike having their Leftovers stolen.

Pokemon that struggle with Xatu and to a lesser extent, Dewgong, are often the best partners for Sneasel. Weezing in particular pairs incredibly well with it, resisting Fighting and having incredible physical bulk to sponge physical attackers that threaten Sneasel. Fighting-types such as Primeape, Hitmonlee, and Hitmonchan synergize well with Sneasel, as Sneasel checks their worst enemy in Xatu. Pineco and its Spikes are excellent support for Sneasel since the threat of Toxic very often forces switches; in return, Pineco with Reflect checks Dugtrio and Primeape. With Sneasel's weakness to Fire-types, it appreciates teammates that check Fire-types well, such as Dewgong, Azumarill, and Ninetales.

[SET]
name: Offensive Nightmare
move 1: Return
move 2: Nightmare
move 3: Moonlight
move 4: Toxic
item: Leftovers

[SET COMMENTS]
This set fits well on more offensive teams, since they sometimes lack a reliable switch-in to Xatu. Sneasel can Toxic a foe such as Dewgong or Azumarill, forcing them to use Rest, which enables Sneasel to heavily pressure them with Nighmare while chipping them even further with Return. Moonlight gives Sneasel greater longevity, and works well due to Sneasel taking constant damage from most RestTalk users that it checks. Primeape pairs well with this Sneasel variant, since Sneasel forcing foes to use Rest gives it a chance to switch in. Offensive teams also sometimes lack Pokemon that can break through Dewgong, which Sneasel does very well.
