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}}. It can also bring out its claws to startle foes that attacked it. Sneasel steals {{pkmn|Egg}}s from unattended {{p|Pidgey}} nests. Sneasel has been known to form pairs to hunt. Sneasel can blend well into the night in order to ambush their prey. One will lure the parents away from the nest, while the other steals the eggs. It then uses its claws to poke a hole in the egg before slurping the contents out. As a result, Sneasel are despised and considered a scourge by [[Pokémon Breeder (Trainer class)|Breeders]] to the point where they try to drive away or eradicate the former. Sneasel preys on {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, but its skin is so hard that it can cause Sneasel's claws to snap off. Its former [[signature move]], {{m|Beat Up}}, allows it to call on its teammates to attack its opponent. It shares roots from its Hisuian counterpart yet is more spiteful. This behavior likely stems from the water and ground of the environment that it lives in. | Sneasel is a notoriously vicious Pokémon, which is perfectly capable of using its claws to do substantial damage.

In [[Hisui]], Sneasel has a similar appearance to its Johtonian counterpart due to the living environment on the cliffside. It has a white and purple body. The left ear is colored light purple. The face, shoulders, and chest have dark purple spots. There is a yellow gem on both its head and chest. The two toes on each foot are closed. | In [[Hisui]], Sneasel has a similar appearance to its Johtonian counterpart due to the living environment on the cliffside. It has a white and purple body.

Like Johtonian Sneasel, the ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. | ||
Hisuian Sneasel's sturdy and curved claws allow it to climb and travel through the precipitous walls and cliffs where it lives. The venom from the tips of Hisuian Sneasel's claws is capable of invading the nervous system of any prey it scratches. It prefers to be alone and not in packs like the Johtonian Sneasel. As a result of the environment, it evolves into {{p|Sneasler}} instead of {{p|Weavile}}. | Hisuian Sneasel's sturdy and curved claws allow it to climb and travel through the precipitous walls and cliffs where it lives.
