Sneasel as an offensive check
Sneasel is a pet 'mon of mine that I love to use on the ladder. While it can't come in on much with its piss poor defenses, it can be brought in on a U-Turn / Volt Switch / well-predicted Psychic, and, unlike its fellow Pursuit trappers Krookodile and Aero, can both outspeed and OHKO it. Krook, on the other hand, needs to be at full to not be OHKO'd by unboosted Giga before retaliating, and Aero needs at least a quarter of its health gone for Aerial Ace to not be a roll. Sneasel, however, can put Celebi into a checkmate situation 100% of the time, although it unfortunately needs CB > LO to do so.
Giga on Krook: 252 SpA Celebi Giga Drain vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Krookodile: 276-326 (83.3 - 98.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Aero's Aerial Ace: 252 Atk Tough Claws Mega Aerodactyl Aerial Ace vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Celebi: 264-312 (77.4 - 91.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Sneasel's Pursuit: 252 Atk Choice Band Sneasel Pursuit vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Celebi: 158-188 (46.3 - 55.1%) -- 63.3% chance to 2HKO, Double that and you have a dead Celebi, guaranteed after Rocks
