Hey everyone,whats up?

I have been using a Sneasel deck a lot these days (in the pojo league...it
is great!) and got some great tips for all you Sneasel Masters.

Tip Number 1

NEVER! And i mean, NEVER attack another Sneasel deck with your Sneasel
first! For example, if you have a great hand, Sneasel, Darkness energy, oak,
and you play that Darkness energy on Sneasel and oak, get another Darkness
energy on Sneasel the next turn and a full bench and there is a Sneasel
laying their on your opponents bench...DO NOT ATTACK FIRST WITH YOUR
SNEASEL! Attack with your other Pokemon to get his/her Sneasel out(they
ain't lying there for nothing), AND THEN just blow the other Pokes away.
Make sure all of your opponents major Pokemon(In major Pokemon i mean the
Pokemon that the deck is made for, for example: Steelix,Sneasel,Dark Muk
etc.)and Anti-Sneasel Pokemon (Clefable,Ditto etc.) are out of the way for
Sneasel to come in and kick some behind.

Tip Number 2

A Sneasel deck needs to have a No Removal gym or Chaos gym. This is becuase
Sneasel is VERY bad against Energy Removals and Super Energy Removals. A
Chaos gym is very smart to use with Sneasel(since u can trap your opponent
if u have a full bench and two Darkness energys on your Sneasel and plus u
get those trainers who got Tails for an extra boost). No Removal gym is good
but Chaos gym is much smarter too use though since u kinda get 2 in 1. No
Removal gym is being used since chaos is being banned a lot. So, take those
No Removal gyms out, add the Chaos gyms in there and when somebody says No
Chaos gyms...just play somebody els. It isn't worth taking the loss.

Tip Number 3

If you are using Chaos gym in your deck, you need to have Cleffas in it.  If
you put your Chaos out and your Sneasel has just been ko'ed and you don't
have any more, you can't risk using those trainer cards in your hand and
getting Tails for Chaos. So, that's why you need Cleffa. Trust me it comes
in handy. Also a reason to have Cleffa in your deck is because Sneasel works
with speed(I needs to get an Oak,2 Darkness energy,a Chaos gym, that is if
you have any in your deck, and full bench all in 2 or 3 turns to work out
well), this means that your deck will shrink in a matter of seconds. Putting
Nightly Garbage Runs in a Sneasel deck doesn't really work well since you
cannot get any Darkness energy back into your deck. So, when u are in need
of a bigger deck, don't use any cards from hand, just get a bit more then 9
cards in your hand, eeek! and then you got a deck saver right there(I have
stalled many opponents before with this menover and the ending is always
puts a smile on my face.)

Extra Cleffa(Baby Pokemon) Tip:

A simple trick. If your opponent has a Ditto active, deal 30 damage to it,
then retreat your active Pokemon and just simply put a Baby Pokemon into
active and then.KO!
Works very well with a Chaos gym, since you can not use any Scoop Ups or
Switches (like anybody uses those anymore). Try to Thunder Punch it with
Electabuzz(this works well since the other Ditto needs 2 retreat cost to
retreat).

Tip Number 4

The birth of Erika's Dratini.I am telling you.they planned this card to take
out all those Haymaker decks. AND SNEASEL DECKS. Trying to ko a Erika's
Dratini with a Sneasel is not the plan. The solution: Goop Gas Attack. If
this card was not made, Sneasel wouldn't even be spoken of. Add adleast to 2
Goop Gas Attacks to your deck and you have nothing to worry about.

Tip Number 5

If you are using Choas gym again, try to get at least 1 or 2 other gyms
other then Chaos gym in your deck.  This helps you out if you got yourself
stuck in your own trap playing a Choas gym and loosing your other Pokemon.

Tip Number 6

If you get to go first, get out a Lass or Rocket Sneak Attack, take out all
of his remaining treasures, play a Chaos gym and then you will defenitally
have a good chance of winning(make sure your not trapping yourself, though).

Tip Number 7

Make sure to have some Golden Berrys in your deck incase your Sneasel get's
a bit damaged.

That's all folks!
Hope all you Sneasel users kick butt with these tips and goodluck with your
upcoming matches!

Peace out! ICE_BURN222 ;/
