MetaMons competitive notes
Sneasel is a dark/ice-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 430 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 115) and a physical attacking profile. Its Inner Focus ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Sneasel. Build around what Sneasel actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
