Physiology
Gender differences
A female has a shorter feather on its head than a male.
Special abilities
Sneasel normally attack by using claw-based moves; such as Slash or Metal Claw. Sneasel are also capable of learning punching moves; like Ice Punch or Focus Punch. Sneasel has the rare ability to know Beat Up, an attack that summons its team-mates to pummel a foe. Since Sneasel bears traits of a Dark-type Pokémon, it can learn certain attacks that come with very disruptive effects; such as stealing an opponent's hold item (Thief), or preventing foes from using the same attack twice in a row (Torment). Sneasel is a very agile Pokémon, making it a tough target to hit.

Trivia
Origin
It may be based on weasels, but it also seems to draw inspiration from 鎌鼬 kamaitachi, weasel demons with sickles on their front legs.
Name origin
Sneasel's name is a combination of sneaky and weasel. The name is pronounced as "sneezele", which possibly refers to "sniffle", "the sniffles", "sneeze", or "sneezing", resulting from a bad cold, hence this Pokémon is a Dark/Ice type. Some colds/sicknesses can be brought on by unprotected exposure to very cold weather.
Sneasel's Japanese name may come from sennyu, to sneak, and an yu, meaning weasel.
