Sneasel can be found across a large portion of the northern side of the Paldea map, but your best bet is to search Glaseado Mountain, specifically along Dalizapa Passage.
How to evolve Sneasel into Weavile in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
To evolve Sneasel into Weavile, you’ll need to give it a Razor Claw to hold and have it level up at night. You’ll know if it’s considered nighttime in the game because the sky will be dark.
It’s also possible to encounter Weavile in the wild in the Glaseado Mountain area at night, but it will be much harder to find than its pre-evolution Sneasel.
How to get Sneasler in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
The only way to get Hisuian Sneasel and its evolution Sneasler will be to transfer them from Pokemon Home. Unfortunately, this option won’t be available until spring 2023, so you can’t get them at launch.
