RU Sneasel

Sneasel @ Choice Band
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Pursuit
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash


Sneasel has taken over RU as one of the primary Pursuit trappers, boasting better Attack and Speed stats than other Pursuit users like Drapion. Pursuit lets Sneasel deal with influential Pokemon like Bronzong and Roserade, and its amazing Speed tier lets it double as a revenge killer, being able to outpace setup sweepers like Virizion and pick off Speed-boosting sweepers like Flygon with Ice Shard. STAB Knock Off limits switch-ins, with defensive staples like Milotic being 2HKOed after slight chip damage. Sneasel has a plethora of other options to help with team weaknesses. For example, Low Kick can be used to hit Pokemon like Registeel, Barbaracle, Snorlax, and Mega Steelix that take advantage of it otherwise. Sneasel can also try using a Life Orb with Swords Dance over Pursuit to act as a late-game cleaner.

- Im not sure if giving up Icicle Crash under any circumstances is a good idea even if taunt is useful. Without your most powerful ice STAB you fail threaten stuff you can kill like Virizion, Gligar, Dragalge, and even Mega Ampharos. Wouldnt mention Taunt at all tbh.

- However you can Mention Low Kick as a good alt move since it hits plenty of things, barbaracle included. Hits: Registeel, Snorlax, Mega Steelix for neat damage. Not need to mention which move to replace directly.

Replace that and this is good to go. QC 1/1
