1v1 Sneasler [GP 1/1]

[Itchy]

Sneasler @ Liechi Berry
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Reversal
- Gunk Shot
- Substitute / Dire Claw
- Endure / Dire Claw

Sneasler's supercharged Reversals are hard to Endure. Once at 1 HP, +1 Reversal blasts through many neutral targets—even defensive Volcanion gets one-shot. Sneasler has two avenues to get down to 1 HP. The more conventional route is to use Substitute repeatedly until Liechi Berry activates against slower foes. The more nuclear option is to use Endure on attacks that would normally OHKO it, like Choice Band Meowscarada's Giga Impact or a Psychic Noise from Hoopa-U, to activate Unburden's +2 Speed boost and OHKO on turn 2. Endure doubles as a failsafe against opposing Custap Berry users, since it nullifies the turn that Custap Berry gives for foes to act before Sneasler. To round out the set, Sneasler carries Gunk Shot. Gunk Shot is used instead of any other Poison-type move because it OHKOes defensively invested Ogerpon-W and Primarina sets. Occasionally, Sneasler may also pack Dire Claw instead of one of Endure or Substitute to defeat Encore + Disable users like Iron Valiant and Alolan Ninetales, but this makes the Unburden + Liechi Berry combination harder to consistently trigger.

Sneasler's supercharged Reversals are hard to Endure. Once at 1 HP, +1 Reversal blasts through practically everything that does not resist it—even Iron Hands (+1 252 Atk Sneasler Reversal (200 BP) vs. 64 HP / 24 Def Iron Hands: 448-528 (96.3 - 113.5%) -- 75% chance to OHKO. Hands can make this unfavored easily and it isnt consistent vs standard sets.), Volcanion, and Great Tusk (against speed booster its a 50/50, and atk booster is clicking bulk up on you) get one-shot. Sneasler has two avenues to get down to 1 HP. The more conventional route is to use Substitute repeatedly until Liechi Berry activates against slower foes. The more nuclear option is to use Endure on attacks that would normally OHKO, like Choice Band Meowscarada's Giga Impact or a Psychic Noise from Hoopa-U. Endure also doubles as a failsafe against opposing Custap Berry users, since Sneasler can nullify the turn where Custap Berry activates and then score a KO afterwards. To round out the set, Sneasler carries Gunk Shot. Gunk Shot is used instead of any other Poison-type move because it OHKOes defensively invested Ogerpon-W and Primarina sets. Occasionally Sneasler may also pack Dire Claw instead of one of Endure or Substitute for Encore + Disable users like Iron Valiant and Alolan Ninetales, but this makes the Endure + Unburden + Liechi Berry combo harder to consistently trigger.
