Is Sneasler good in Pokemon GO?
| Power up | Stardust | Candy | XL Candy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
At Tier C (rank #26 as a Poison-type attacker) there are better options for the same Stardust. Keep a good specimen, skip the power-up unless Sneasler is a favourite.
- Attack is its highest stat (259), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Sneasler deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.
