Hisuian Sneasel is a Fighting and Poison-type Pokémon featured in the Hisuian Discoveries, an event bringing a handful of pocket monsters from the Hisui region into Pokémon GO. This event will debut the Hisuian versions of Growlithe, Qwilfish, Sneasel, and Braviary. Hisuian Voltorb, an Electric and Grass Pokémon that appeared previously in Pokémon GO, will also be returning to the AR wild. Hisuian Discoveries will be live from July 27, 2022, to August 2, 2022. Several Pokémon will spawn more frequently during this event, but Hisuian Sneasel can only be acquired through 7km Eggs. Once Trainers obtain Hisuian Sneasel in Pokémon GO, they will naturally want to know how to evolve it.
Evolving Hisuian Sneasel In Pokémon GO
To evolve Hisuian Sneasel into Sneasler in Pokémon GO, Trainers must feed the pocket monster Candy ×100. Fortunately, the required Candy type is standard Sneasel Candy, meaning players don’t need to hatch and transfer multiple Hisuian Sneasels. After walking with Hisuian Sneasel as a Buddy for 7 kilometers, Trainers can evolve Hisuian Sneasel into Sneasler during daytime in Pokémon GO.

There are several ways to earn Sneasel Candy for evolving Hisuian Sneasel into Sneasler in Pokémon GO:
- Catching Wild Sneasels: As mentioned above, capturing normal Sneasel in the wild is the primary way of procuring the necessary amount of Candy for Hisuian Sneasel’s evolution.
- Feeding Pinap Berries to Sneasel: Before landing a Poké Ball throw on a Sneasel, be sure to feed it a Pinap Berry to double the amount of Candy received after performing a successful capture. Silver Pinap Berries have the same effect as regular Pinap Berries but increase the Catch Rate.
- Walking with a Buddy Sneasel or Hisuian Sneasel: Trainers can walk with their Sneasel variants to passively earn Candy. Of course, this method is naturally slow but an excellent means of acquiring Candy while walking and completing other in-game activities.
- Transferring Sneasels: Transferring any excess Sneasel will free up one’s Pokémon Storage and provide them with some extra Candy.
- Hatching Sneasel or Hisuian Sneasel: Whenever Trainers successfully hatch a Sneasel variant, they will receive a decent amount of Candy.
Once players have evolved Hisuian Sneasel into Sneasler in Pokémon GO, understanding the evolution form’s optimal Moveset, strengths, and weaknesses is vital for using it in battle.
