The Pokémon games Sneasel and Weavile have been around since Gens II and IV, respectively, but Hisuian Sneasel and Sneasler were only recently included in Legends: Arceus. They both made their Pokémon Go debuts back in July 2022 during the Hisuian Discoveries event as two notables from the Hisui region.

The evolution process for Hisuian Sneasel in Pokémon Go, however, differs slightly from that in the traditional video games. It’s not as easy to use candies to evolve Hisuian Sneasel in Pokémon Go as it is to evolve other Pokémon. In addition to gathering the candies, players must fulfill a few other conditions before their Hisuian Sneasel can evolve into a Sneasler.

As long as players keep adventure sync active and keep track of their distance traveled from the routine, the steps for the regional variant are fairly straightforward. When Sneasler evolves, players gain a remarkably uncommon, region-specific evolution to their Dex that is almost as exclusive as the various Legendary Pokémon seen in Pokémon GO.

  • Gather 100 Sneasel candies.
  • Assign Hisuian Sneasel as your buddy and walk seven kilometers or 4.34 miles.
  • After completing the first two requirements, you’ll need it to be daytime for the evolution to work.

The Hisuian Discoveries event is currently the best opportunity to earn enough Hisuian Sneasel Candy to complete this evolution, which is necessary if you want to add every Hisuian Pokémon to your Pokédex. Fortunately, Hisuian Sneasel consumes the same amount of candy as a regular Sneasel, meaning you might already have enough to evolve it.

The Hisuian form of Sneasel and Weavile are Fighting/Poison Pokémon, whereas the regular Sneasel and Weavile are Dark/Ice types. These Hisuian monsters have an advantage over Pokémon of the Dark, Ice, Normal, Rock, and Grass types. But take care: Hisuian Sneasel and Sneasler are both particularly susceptible to Psychic attacks, unlike the other Sneasel and Weavile, which have the advantage against Psychic Pokémon.
