*In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Sneasel's front sprites are the same in both versions. There are very few other Pokémon like this, with some including {{p|Spinarak}} and {{p|Ariados}}. Strangely, these Pokémon all have a relation to the fact that they can only be found in the wild at night.

**In the past, many mistook Sneasel ''not'' to be an Ice-type, due to lack of usable Ice-types moves, as all were special-based at the past,and Sneasel's special attack stat is some of the lowest in the game. With the advent of the physical/special split, Sneasel and its new evolution Weavile now have usable physicla Ice-type moves, namely {{a|Ice Shard}} and {{a|Ice Punch}}; the same issue was true for the lack of physical Dark-type moves as well, but Sneasel was never mistook for a non-Dark type, as many other Dark-types prior to D/P/Pt suffered the same problem, namely {{P|Absol}}.
