I have played Sneasel in the last two tourneys I been to and I
found out something pretty darn important.
Sneasel should not be used to polish off an opponents pokemon if you
have something on the bench that can do it this same turn. The reason being
is Sneasel's potential to do big damage. I have used Sneasel in tandem with
Gligar to this very end. If my opponents active is Chan with 30 hp left (and
he has a F Magmar undamaged on the bench) and I have Sneasel active with 2
darks and 30 damage and a full bench, I would promote a Gligar that has a
DCE and then add a plus first to kill the Chan and then next turn use my
Sneasel to try and drop the F Magmar in one turn with Sneasel. The idea is
that Sneasel has the potential to kill 70 hp pokes in one turn adn it would
take Gligar 3-4. Which woulda been the case if I had left Sneasel out to
MAYBE die. Dark energy is too much to lose and Sneasels POTENTIAL of 120(?)
is too much to spend too early.   Tahnks for reading/posting, Mark S Dawson
