This Snom evolution guide will go through absolutely everything you need to know about this itty bitty 'mon, including how to evolve it into a beautiful Frosmoth. Snoms are undeniably adorable, and extra cute and cuddly, and it's almost a shame to bid them goodbye when you evolve them, especially considering the fact it can use its ice scales ability to halve all incoming damage from special moves. Pretty darn cool. However, a Frosmoth is always worth getting your hands on, and that's where this guide comes in to help you out.
In order to keep your Snom safe, here are all the bug Pokémon weaknesses and ice Pokémon weaknesses you need to look out for, and make sure to keep up with fire Pokémon weaknesses as Snom's do not like going against them – for obvious reasons. For more of our Poké-picks, here are the best gen 8 Pokémon, and check out our predictions for the new Pokémon game while you brush up on your knowledge with our Pokédex.
Where can I catch Snom?
It's all well and good knowing how to evolve a Snom into a beautiful Frosmoth, but in order to make it happen, you need to know where you can catch the adorable little base Pokémon. This icy bug only appears in two sets of Pokémon games: Scarlet and Violet, and Sword and Shield. This narrows it down a fair bit, but if you're wondering exactly where to catch Snom, we've got all the information you need below.
Here's where to find Snom in these games:
- Pokémon Sword and Shield – Route 8, Route 10, Lake of Outrage, Giant's Cap, Hammerlocke Hills, Stony Wilderness. In the Crown Tundra expansion pass, you can find Snom in the Slippery Slope, Snowslide Slope, and the Path to the Peak.
- Pokémon Scarlet and Violet – Dalizapa Passage, Glaseado Mountain, and in one-star Tera Raid battlers. You can also trade a Flabébé in Cortondo for a Snom. If you need a Flabébé, here's our Floette evolution guide.
How do I evolve Snom?
As we already know, Snom evolves into a Frosmoth, but there is a certain way you need to go about it. To evolve Snom, you need to level it up with high friendship at night. The easiest way to boost your friendship level with Snom is to take it into battle, but as much as we love it, it's not exactly the strongest of 'mon when it comes to fighting. So we recommend boosting your friendship by using a soothe bell instead. Depending on the game, you can also play with Snom, fix it a sandwich, or cook up a curry for some extra brownie points.
Where can I catch Frosmoth?
If you can't bear to bid this teeny little icy 'mon goodbye, but you still want to catch a Frosmoth, then you're in luck because you can do exactly that. Frosmoth, the evolved version of Snom, can actually be found out in the wild, as long as you know where to look. Here are all the locations where you can find Frosmoth.
- Pokémon Sword and Shield – Giant's Cap, Hammerlocke Hills, and Stony Wilderness. In the Crown Tundra expansion pass, you can catch a Frosmoth on the Path to the Peak, and in Max Lairs.
- Pokémon Scarlet and Violet – North Province: Area One, Glaseado Mountain, Area Zero, and in four- and six-star Tera Raid battles.
Is Snom in Pokémon Go?
