Sneasler (Japanese: オオニューラ Oonyūra) is a dual-type Fighting/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves from Hisuian Sneasel when exposed to a Razor Claw during the day.

Biology

Sneasler is a humanoid Pokémon that shares some characteristics with a weasel. Its body is dark grey with purple accents around its face and ankles. Its fur is longer on its shoulders. It has long arms that extend to just above its ankles. On each arm is a dark brown spot, and its hands have three long claws, which are brown with three red lines streaking through. These claws are tipped with poison, which allows Sneasler to use its signature move, Dire Claw. Like its pre-evolution, it has sharp, narrow eyes with red pupils and black markings resembling eyelashes on the edges. It has yellow diamond-shaped gems on its chest and head. ​Sneasler has three sharp toes on each foot. Its left ear has a long black and red feather that extends down to its back; it also has red and black feathers for a tail.

Sneasler's evolution was the result of Hisuian Sneasel adapting to live on cliffsides in the frozen highlands of Hisui. Due to its severe poison and deadly physical power, no other Pokémon species could defeat Sneasler in its habitat. Using its claws, Sneasler is capable of climbing up walls and cliffs with ease. Unlike its counterpart, Weavile, it prefers to be alone and not live in packs. Sneasler is worshiped in Hisui due to it being one of the 10 ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from Arceus. In particular, it is one of the Ride Pokémon who resides in Coronet Highlands and assists humans.

Trivia

• Sneasler and its pre-evolution were designed by Hitoshi Ariga.

Origin

Like its pre-evolution, Sneasler may be based on weasels and the kamaitachi, weasel yōkai with sickles on their front legs. However, its humanoid appearance and Poison-type may be based on another yōkai, the ōnyūdō (lit. "big monk"), who take on the appearance of monks and are said to afflict illness to anyone who sees it. There are stories of animals that can shapeshift into ōnyūdō, one of which being the weasel. Sneasler may also be based on free climbers.

Name origin

Sneasler may be a combination of Sneasel and ruler. It could also be a combination of Sneasel and the comparative suffix -er, meaning more (thus "more Sneasel", alluding to it being physically similar to Hisuian Sneasel apart from its larger size).

Oonyūra may be a combination of 大 ō (big) or 大入道 ōnyūdō (big monk) and Nyula (Sneasel's Japanese name).
