Learn how to battle and snag Shadow Pokémon #38, Sneasel, from Rider Nelis in Pokémon Colosseum. Get tips on strategy and preparation for this important encounter.
Alright, so you've made it to Rider Nelis, and this is a pretty important one. You're about to face off against Shadow Pokémon #25, Sneasel. This little guy is super fast, even faster than Entei, so you'll need to be on your toes. Let's get you prepped!
Walkthrough
- 1Where: You'll find Rider Nelis on the bottom floor of the subway area, in the upper-right corner.
- 2What you see: Nelis has a team of four Pokémon: Corsola (Lv41), Seviper (Lv40), Loudred (Lv41), and the main event, Sneasel (Lv43).
- 3What to do: Seviper can poison you, so have a way to cure that status effect ready. The real challenge is Sneasel. It loves to use Shadow Rush, so you'll need to chip away at its HP carefully. Using Bite is a good option, and it might even flinch Sneasel. If you can land a sleep move, do it! Just be mindful of Sneasel's Icy Wind, which can really mess with your Speed. Once its HP is low, try to capture it with an Ultra Ball.
- 4Why this way: Sneasel is one of the fastest Shadow Pokémon you'll encounter. If you miss your chance to snag it here, you won't get another for a long time, so it's worth the effort to get it right.
Tips
- Don't underestimate Seviper's poison; be prepared to heal it off.
- Focus on bringing Sneasel's HP down gradually. Don't rush it, or you might accidentally knock it out.
- Sleep moves are your best friend here, but be ready for Icy Wind to potentially reverse your speed advantage.
- If you manage to get Sneasel's HP low and put it to sleep, it should be pretty manageable with Ultra Balls.
- Remember, this is a crucial Snag. If you miss it, you'll have to wait a long time to get another shot.
