What's the best place to train Sneasel in Diamond?
Don’t know if this is allowed or not…
So today I caught a shiny Sneasel and I want to train her to at least level 40 before I do more hunting. Currently, she is level 34. The moves she has areAgility,Icy Wind,Fury Swipes, andFaint Attack. I’m trying to avoid using TMs unless I must. Keep in mind thatI’ve beaten the seventh gym, went through Mt. Coronet, but I haven’t beaten Volkner yet.
What are some good trainers (Vs seeker) or wild Pokemon I can battle?

Here’s what theOak Guide I use says!
There are lots of trainers around routes 216 and 217 if you’ve avoided them. Otherwise, practice on the trainers in the gym.
With the Vs Seeker in mind, there are three trainers that I found useful to rematch over and over.The Breeder with a Happiny on Route 210 is a godsend for weaker Pokemon.Happiny knows Sweet Kiss, Charm, Copycat and Refresh. So it’s only actual attacking move is potentially Copycat.Route 214 was probably my favourite route for rematches. There’s two Collector trainers withfantastic teams for gaining expalthough admittedly not as good as in Platinum. On the northern side of the route running between two fences is aCollector with a team of three Ponyta.The secondCollector is at the very southern tip of the route. He has three Roselia.Aside from the rematches,the café at Lake Valor Hotel is a great source of expwith all the double battles that are available every day. Don’t forget that you can defeat the trainers in the gyms and there are a fair few of them!
If you’ve caught everything so far, now is the time to do this section withanother temporary double battle partner (i.e. free healing).In the south western part of Canalave City you’ll find a sailor next to a boat who will take you to Iron Island. You’ll also pick up Strength HM on the way in. If you venture far enough into the caveyou’ll meet Riley who will team up with you and his Lucario.
There’s of course more places, but these are the best for mid-late levels. If you haven’t seen Riley yet, it would be worthwhile to venture with him for the free healing and double battle.Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of good spots mid-game. These may take a while, but from my experience, these are the best ones out there.
For extra EXP,you can try to get the Lucky Egg.
You can find the Lucky Egg off of wild Chansey in Route 209. It has a 5% chance of holding it. You might want to use a Pokemon with the Frisk ability to see if the Chansey is holding a Lucky Egg.
