While most trainers evolve Snubbull into Granbull immediately, the unevolved form has a niche with Eviolite boosting its defenses. Dragon moves can't touch it, and only 2 types hit it super-effectively. Known as the Fairy Pokemon.

Small Pokémon flee from its scary face. It is, however, considered by many people to be cute.
Snubbull Weakness
GoodPoison and Steel-type moves hit Snubbull for super-effective damage. The upside? Dragon-type moves can't touch it at all. Snubbull's Fairy typing only leaves 2 gaps to cover.
