Chapter 142 - 142: An Exceptional Hunter
First, as a Dark-type Pokémon, Sneasel has the ability to be immune to Psychic-type moves, making it a relentless killer in battles against Psychic Pokémon.
Secondly, it has a two-times advantage over Ghost, Ice, and Dark-type Pokémon, giving it a considerable edge when facing these types.
Thus, Sneasel is not suitable to be the main attacker of the team, but against certain specific Pokémon, it's highly effective as a defense breaker.
For instance, Psychic-type Pokémon, as well as Dragon-type Pokémon.
Sneasel is a born assassin and hunter: high offense, high speed, low defense, and low HP—a typical assassin-type Pokémon.
Even after evolving into Weavile, its original advantages will not only be maintained but will be further enhanced. It could be said that from birth, this Pokémon's growth path is already predetermined.
Sneasel's personality is cunning and fierce; it loves to steal wild Pokémon eggs, poking a small hole in the egg with its claw to absorb the nutrients inside.
It fixed its gaze on Miltank's milk because the way Cain's Pokémon drank the milk, along with the faint aroma of fresh milk, reminded it of the taste of egg whites flowing from a broken egg.
This made Sneasel mistakenly think it was its favorite food.
The first time Cain left the milk for Sneasel, it carefully took it, and after tasting it, fell in love with the flavor. It was even better than its favorite egg white.
That's why it set its sights back on Cain and his team.
