Things I love about Sneasel: It has a solid typing of Dark/Ice, even though it does have the 4x fighting weakness, still does pretty good offensively. It has a neat design, making it look really badass, has alright abilities, has pretty good stats for a first stage evolution, and has a pretty nice movepool to top it all off. All in all, Sneasel is 100% my favorite first stage evolution of Johto, because it's one of the more memorable ones to me, and it's one that just stands out the most. However, I ranked it here in the end because it didn't quite match up to the other 17 pokemon that remain.
Coming in at #18 on my ranking is:
