Here's everything in our guide on how to evolve Sneasel:
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 Hisuian Sneasel roaming around the Celestica Trail and the Primeval Grotto in the Coronet Highlands and Avalugg's Legacy and Glacier Terrace in the Alabaster Icelands.
Johto Sneasel 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's snowy biomes. 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 into Sneasler 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?
Sneasel evolves into Weavile, which is very similar to Hisuian Sneasel evolving into Sneasler. The main difference is that because Sneasel and Weavile are dark types, you need to evolve the 'mon at night. To evolve Sneasel into Weavile in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you need to use a Razor Claw on it at night.
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 it up instead.
How do I evolve Sneasel in Pokémon Go?
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.
- Sneasel to Weavile: 100 Sneasel candy and a Sinnoh stone
- Sneasel to Sneasler: 100 Sneasel candy and walk 7km with Sneasel as your buddy
How do I evolve Sneasel in Pokémon Sleep?
Before you can evolve your Sneasel in Pokémon Sleep, you need to befriend one. You can encounter Sneasel on Greengrass Isle or in the Snowdrop Tundra, and you need to reach 16 friendship points to acquire them. To evolve Sneasel into Weavile, you need to use 80 Sneasel candy and a Razor Claw.
