Why are my Sneasels not evolving?

  1. I was able to evolve a H. Sneasel into Sneasler (with Razor Claw.)
    But it won't work on a second H. Sneasle.

    Is there a limit? Does one being Alpha make a difference?
    Thanks.

Accepted Answer

  1. Alpha has no bearing on the evolution of a Pokemon and there are no limits to how many of each Pokemon you can have unless those limits would surpass your box space. Legendary Pokemon are an exception as you can only capture 1 in game but you should be able to trade for them with other players.

    Hisuian Sneasel needs to be given a Razor Claw during the Daytime to evolve. No specific moves are needed and no minimum level is required to be reached. You can do this at any level. If you are trying to evolve and it won't allow you to and the sun is up, it is not daytime yet. The sun will rise in the morning and it will still be considered night time. The quickest and surefire solution is to wait until midday and then attempt to evolve. You can wait out the time at any base camp which can also be fast traveled to.

  1. Has to be in the daytime. The dark sneasel needs night to evolve.

Why wont my Sneasel evolve legends arceus?

Sneasel is a Pokemon that debuted in Generation II of the long-running franchise and again appears in the series’ latest entry, Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Despite many aspects of the Pokemon series seeing a few changes and tweaks in the newest game, the game’s core still revolves around catching, battling, and evolving your Pokemon. While the importance of evolving hasn’t changed, Sneasel has seen a change as players can now find two different variants of the Pokemon, one from the region it debuted in, Johto, and the other in the region of Arceus, Hisui. This new type of Sneasel also evolves into a brand-new Pokemon named Sneasler while the Johto version becomes a Weavile. This guide will explain how to evolve Sneasel into either Weavile or Sneasler in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

How To Evolve Sneasel In Pokemon Legends: Arceus

To evolve your Sneasel, no matter which version it is, you are going to need to get yourself an item known as a Razor Claw. There are three ways to get this item; first, you can find one at the Trading Post with an NPC named Simona. You can find her by going to the west of Galaxy Hall in Jubilife Village. She will sell you the Razor Claw for 1,400 Merit Points. Another way is to find them in a time-distortion area that can be found in the open world. Finally, there is a rare chance that fighting or catching a Sneasel in the wild will reward you with the item, though this will take some luck. Below, the Sneasel on the left is the Johto version, while the one on the right is the new version from Hisui.

Once you get yourself a Razor Claw, you will have to use it at a specific time of day to evolve your Sneasel, with that time being dependent on the variant of Sneasel that you are evolving. If you are evolving the Johto Sneasel into a Weavile, you will need to use the Razor Claw during the nighttime. When the time is right, go to your inventory and use the Razor Claw on Sneasel to get yourself a Weavile. A Hisui Sneasel is the opposite of its Johto counterpart, needing it to be daytime to evolve. Using the Razor Claw during the day on a Hisui Sneasel will give you the brand-new Sneasler Pokemon.

However, in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, players must initiate the evolution sequence themselves because Pokémon will not evolve on their own. There are also Pokémon that require special conditions or items in order for them to move on to their next phase.

Why can't you use razor claw Sneasel?

Sneasel evolves into Weavile at nighttime in Diamond and Pearl. However, Sneasler is different. It evolves during the day instead of at night. More specifically, the Razor Claw won't show as "compatible" with Sneasel until its morning or midday.
