The Fighting-/Poison-type Sneasler in Pokémon GO is an evolution players can get with their Hisuian Sneasel hatched from an egg in a previous event.
Sneasler evolves from Hisuian Sneasel as a Fighting-/Poison-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO as a rare pocket monsters players can get for their collection from eggs hatched during the previous Hisuian Discoveries event. A collaboration with new forms seen in the past Sinnoh Region of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, players could get Pokémon such as Hisuian Growlithe, Hisuian Voltorb, Hisuian Qwilfish, and of course, Hisuian Sneasel throughout that event in July 2022. However, since the event ended on August 2nd, 2022, Sneasler only remains available for players who participated at that time.
Avid explorers might have several eggs from the Hisuian Discoveries event yet to be hatched, as Hisuian Sneasel comes from a 7km egg. Unlike Pokémon like Mega Gardevoir in Pokémon GO‘s Raid Battles, Hisuian Sneasel is only seen through egg hatching. Thankfully, the Sneasel candy that players receive from capturing the usual Ice-/Dark-type form contributes toward the evolution of this rare Pokémon into Sneasler. Players familiar with evolution in Pokémon GO might already have a good idea of what methods are needed to help transform this variant creature.
Evolving Hisuian Sneasel Into Sneasler in Pokémon GO
There are two methods to evolve Hisuian Sneasel into Sneasler, the first of which comes from collecting 100 Sneasal candy. Catching the same type of Pokémon raises the amount of candy players have for that type of creature, so there should be a focus on finding as many Sneasel as possible. Since the Hisuian Sneasel is the recipient of evolution, players do not need to worry about how strong these wild Pokémon are against Pokemon GO‘s tougher trainers like Giovanni. Players can use Pinap berries during wild encounters to bolster the amount of candy they gain, and they are heavily recommended to use these resources often.
After getting enough candy, players need to set Hisuian Sneasal as their buddy and then walk at least 7k to unlock the option to evolve it into Sneasler.
On the bio screen of Hisuian Sneasel, the evolve option remains locked until both prerequisites have been fulfilled. The steps for the regional variant are quite simple as long as players keep adventure sync active and keep records of their distance traveled from the normal routine. Players that get Sneasler upon evolution have an incredibly rare region-specific evolution to add to their Dex, about as exclusive as the various Legendary Pokémon seen in Pokémon GO.
