How Sneasler plays
Sneasler is built around Unburden, which doubles its Speed the moment its held item is consumed. In Regulation M-C that trigger is a terrain seed: Psychic Seed and Grassy Seed are its two most-held items (31% and 27%), and both are spent the instant a partner sets terrain — female Indeedee or Rillaboom, the two Pokémon it is most often paired with. White Herb is the third option, spending itself on the first stat drop instead, which turns an opposing Intimidate into the activation.
The standard set is Close Combat, Dire Claw, Fake Out and Protect off 130 Attack and base 120 Speed. Counterplay is structural: Wide Guard blunts the Close Combat reliance, Intimidate cycles weaken the opening damage, and Psychic Terrain from the other side blocks the priority Sneasler's partners rely on. Once Unburden is up, almost nothing in the format outruns it — removing Sneasler before activation is the only reliable answer.
