Triple Axel
⚔️ Raids
Sneasel is a Dark and Ice dual-type Pokémon. It has an evolution in the form of Weavile, which far outperforms it. In fact, Sneasel underperforms compared to a lot of other Dark and Ice-type raid attackers. As such, there's no reason to use Sneasel as either a Dark or an Ice-type raid attacker.

PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
🔵 Great League
Unfortunately, Sneasel is not a good Pokémon for PvP in general. It has a whopping 6 type weaknesses, and its moveset leaves much to be desired. But not only that, what perhaps puts the final nail in the coffin for Sneasel is its stat distribution. It’s frail, and that mixed in with the aforementioned type weaknesses means it’s unlikely Sneasel will ever perform well in the Great League.
🟡 Ultra League
With a max CP of 2319, Sneasel is too weak for the Ultra League. While some Pokémon near that range could work in Ultra League thanks to a good moveset or stat distribution, Sneasel is not one of them.
🟣 Master League
With a max CP of 2319, Sneasel is far too weak for the Master League.
