How to Evolve Sneasel in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Sneasel, the sharp claw Pokémon, has been a fan favorite for a long time. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Sneasel gets a new evolution, Sneasler. But how do you evolve Sneasel into Sneasler or its other evolution, Weavile?

To evolve Sneasel in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you need a Razor Claw. To get Sneasler, use the Razor Claw on a Hisuian Sneasel during the day. For Weavile, use the Razor Claw on a regular Sneasel at night.

How to Evolve Sneasel into Sneasler

Sneasler is a new fighting and poison type Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. To get this Pokémon, you'll need to catch a Hisuian Sneasel. You can find them in the Coronet Highlands. Once you have a Hisuian Sneasel, you'll need a Razor Claw.

I remember when I was trying to evolve my Sneasel. I spent hours searching for a Razor Claw. I finally got one from the Trading Post in Jubilife Village. I was so excited, I immediately used it on my Sneasel, but nothing happened. I was so confused until I realized it was nighttime in the game. I waited until the next day, used the Razor Claw, and my Sneasel finally evolved into the awesome Sneasler.

Here’s how to evolve Hisuian Sneasel into Sneasler:

How to Evolve Sneasel into Weavile

If you want to evolve your Sneasel into Weavile, you’ll need a regular Sneasel, not the Hisuian form. You can find regular Sneasel in the Space-time Distortions in the Obsidian Fieldlands.

Once you have a regular Sneasel, the process is similar to evolving it into Sneasler. You’ll need a Razor Claw, but this time, you need to use it on your Sneasel at night. I had a tough time catching a regular Sneasel. The Space-time Distortions are pretty chaotic, and I kept getting knocked out. After a few tries, I finally caught one. I already had a Razor Claw, so I just had to wait for nightfall to evolve my Sneasel into Weavile. It was worth the effort!
