Where do I find Sneasel?

Before you can evolve a Sneasel, you’re going to have to find one. Here’s where to find the feisty ‘mon in various games.

Pokémon Legends Arceus

If you want to get both of Sneasel’s evolutions, you’re going to need two types of Sneasel. These are Johto Sneasel and Hisuian Sneasel. Luckily it’s hard to mix the two up as they both look very distinct and spawn in very different areas.

Hisuian Sneasel is the easiest of the two to find as it is native to the Hisui region. You can find it roaming around the Celestica Trail and the Primeval Grotto in the Coronet Highlands and Avalugg’s Legacy and Glacier Terrace in the Alabaster Icelands. 

Classic Sneasel is a little trickier to find. It only spawns in space-time distortions in the Obsidian Fieldlands, so you’ll have to wait for one to begin before hunting one down.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

You can only find Johto Sneasel in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. As an ice Pokémon, Sneasel’s natural habitat is on and around Glaseado Mountain, and as a dark Pokémon, it’s easier to find at night.

How do I evolve Sneasel into Sneasler?

Hisuian Sneasel evolves when you use the Razor Claw on it during the daytime. Sneasler is the only evolution of Hisuian Sneasel, so this is all you need to do. You can buy a Razor Claw from Simona’s trading post using merit points. A Razor Claw costs 1,400 merit points, so make sure you have enough.

How do I evolve Sneasel into Weavile?

In Pokémon Legends Arceus, evolving Sneasel into Weavile is very similar to evolving Hisuian Sneasel into Sneasler. The main difference is that because Sneasel and Weavile are dark-types, you need to use the Razor Claw at nighttime.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, instead of using the Razor Claw on your Sneasel, you need to give it to the Pokémon as a held item and level them up instead.

Pokémon Go has its own evolution system that differs a lot from the mainline games. You can get both Johto and Hisuian Sneasler in Pokémon Go from various egg hatches and both require 100 Sneasel candy to evolve. To acquire a Weavile you need a Sinnoh stone, and to grab a Sneasler you need to walk 7k with Hisuian Sneasel as your buddy.

There you have it, everything you need to know about how to evolve Sneasel. For something completely different, why not check out our Genshin Impact’s Iansan guide or our Zenless Zone Zero codes list?
