This Snom to Frosmoth 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.
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?
Snom evolves into Frosmoth with high friendship at night. There are several ways you can boost your friendship; the first is to catch Snom in a luxury ball, as these naturally make your buddy more friendly with you. The second option is to battle Snom, but it's not the best in a fight, so you might want to consider the next option. Simply make camp and play with Snom or feed it some food - it's fun for everyone. You can also give it the soothe bell, an item that's there to boost your friendship.
Where can I catch Frosmoth?
If you can't bear to bid this teeny little icy guy 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.

Is Snom in Pokémon Go?
Happily, Snom is now in Pokémon Go. The Cozy Companions event welcomed Snom and Frosmoth on August 6. We're officially so back, so we hope you've been saving your candy. After you earn ten hearts with Snom as your buddy, you can use a whopping 400 Snom candy to evolve Snom into Frosmoth - but watch out on timings, because the same night-time only rule from other Pokémon games applies.
