Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. One of the things about Sneasel that stood out in the second generation is its poor movepool. What about Sneasel's movepool held it back?
2. Sneasel was abhorrent in the second generation, but it at least saw the light of day in UnderUsed during the third generation due to its newfound access to a boosting move. What boosting move was this?
3. Sneasel was mercifully granted an evolutionary form, Weavile, in the fourth generation that finally granted it standard play viability. Weavile still suffered from being paper-fragile, but it was also immensely fast and made for a great revenge killer. What was Weavile's Speed stat?
4. Unfortunately, while Weavile had many positive traits, it was hard countered by a deadly threat in fourth generation standard play, a threat that could also make life hard on Weavile's team as well with its vicious U-Turns. Which Pokémon could reliably switch into Weavile and defeat it?
5. Weavile had been operating with a suboptimal ability, Pressure, up until the fifth generation when it unfortunately received another suboptimal ability. What ability was this?
6. In the fifth generation, Weavile dropped to UnderUsed, but it was still viable for standard play, to a degree. Here, Weavile faced heavy competition from Mamoswine, who was much stronger and nowhere near as fragile. It distinguished itself from Mamoswine with its ability to do one thing that Mamoswine could not. What is this?
7. For both Sneasel and Weavile, a Dark type move in the sixth generation being buffed stimulated their viability considerably, putting Weavile firmly back into standard play and giving Sneasel a bit of competitive life as well. What move was this?
8. Unfortunately, both Weavile and Sneasel suffered in usage with the advent of the Fairy type, as this added yet another weakness for them to deal with. Their Ice/Dark typing is very bad defensively, with a lot of weaknesses. How many weaknesses did this typing have in the sixth generation?
9. In the seventh generation, power levels grew considerably and Weavile had to try and keep up. It only had one set viable for the tier, though it was generally overshadowed by Tyranitar in most cases. The set was generally a Choice Banded wallbreaker. Seemingly outclassed by Tyranitar, Weavile did have a couple advantages that could still make it worth using on the right team. Which of the following is one thing Weavile could do that Tyranitar could not?
10. Sneasel received a nice buff in the eighth generation, when one of its three previously near-worthless abilities, Inner Focus, finally became quite decent. What did Inner Focus now do in the eighth generation?
