Sneasel is a bipedal Pokémon that resembles both cats and weasels. It is primarily bluish black with three bright red feathers for its tail and a single one on its left ear. The ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. The other ear is short and pointed, and it has narrow red eyes. On its forehead and chest are yellow, oval markings. It has red eyes with black eyelash-like markings on the edges. It has long limbs with two large, retractable claws on its hands and feet.

Sneasel is a notoriously vicious Pokémon, which is perfectly capable of using its claws to do substantial damage. The claws are also used for climbing trees in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|boreal or sub-alpine forests}}. Sneasel steals eggs from unattended {{p|Pidgey}} nests. Sneasel has been known to form pairs to hunt. One will lure the parents away from the nest, while the other steals the eggs. Its former [[signature move]], {{m|Beat Up}}, allows it to call on its teammates to attack its opponent.

Sneasel's most predominant role is as one of {{adv|Silver}}'s Pokémon. He first appeared in ''[[PS092|Who Gives a Hoothoot?]]''. It is his first Pokémon as he was the Pokémon that he used during his {{pkmn|training}} under the [[Masked Man]], and the only one seen with him in flashbacks of his childhood prior to being kidnapped. He is a dexterous and crafty fighter that fully utilizes his speed and attacks of both the {{t|Dark}} type and the {{t|Ice}} type. After many years, he evolved into a {{p|Weavile}} in [[Lance]]'s hidden [[Whirl Islands]] chamber.
