We all know that in Pokémon, Snorunt is a stand-up guy - and Snorunt's evolutions are pretty powerful. Yes, evolutions. Plural. There are two different creatures Snorunt can turn into: Froslass and Glalie, both of which are winners in our book.
So, let's look at what you need to do to get the pair of them, along with where you can catch Snorunt, because all this is meaningless if you don't have at least one of them, though you, of course, want two.
Where can I catch Snorunt?
If the name doesn't give it away, allow us to explain what locations you can find Snorunt in: anywhere with snow. As such, you don't come across them early in your adventure; rather, they tend to appear in the mid to end locations of the game. You can find Snorunt in the following games and areas on Nintendo Switch:
- Pokémon Sword and Shield - Route 8, Dappled Grove, East and West Lake Axewell, Watchtower Ruins, North and South Lake Miloch, Rolling Fields, Giant's Seat, Giant's Cap, Giant's Bed, Giant's Foot, Hammerlocke Hills, Dusty Bowl, Stony Wilderness, Snowslide Slipe, and Tunnel to the Top
- Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - Routes 216 and 217, Acuity Lakefront, Glacial Cavern, Icy Cave, and Whiteout Cave
- Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Avalanche Slopes, Bonechill Wastes, Whiteout Valley, Icebound Falls, Arena's Approach, Glacier Terrace, Heart's Crag, and near the Pearl Settlement
- Pokémon Scarlet and Violet - Dalizapa Passage, Glaseado Mountain, Oni Mountain, Chilling Waterhead, and two-star Tera Raid battles
How do I evolve Snorunt?
Snorunt evolves into Glalie at level 42, but it needs to be female and have a dawn stone to evolve into Froslass. Reaching level 42 can seem daunting, but it honestly doesn't take too long in the grand scheme of things; just keep Snorunt in your party so it can benefit from the EXP share. You can also give it some EXP candy for an extra boost, though you can make things even easier and catch a Snorunt that's a higher level. Sometimes, you might even catch one that's ready to evolve.
Where can I get a dawn stone?
For those of you trying to get a Froslass, and in need of a dawn stone, here's how to get one. Some games allow you to purchase a stone, whereas most of the time it's a shiny object you can pick up off the ground.
- Pokémon Sword and Shield - Giant's Cap, Ballimere Lake, Old Cemetery, Lake of Outrage, and from the Digging Duo at Bridge Field
- Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - Route 225, Mount Coronet, and from Pokémon's Pickup ability
- Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Rewards for completing Request 82 and 102, from ore deposits, the trading post, Ginkgo Guild cart, and found in space-time distortions
- Pokémon Scarlet and Violet - East Province Area Three, West Province Area Three, Porto Marinada auctions, found on Glaseado Mountain, and as a reward for registering 270 Pokemon to the Pokédex
Where can I catch Glalie?
Perhaps evolving a Snorunt is taking a while - well, you can catch a Glalie in the following locations in each Pokémon game on Nintendo Switch.
- Pokémon Sword and Shield - Routes 9 and 10, Lake of Outrage, Giant's Cap, Giant's Seat, Giant's Bed, Watchtower Ruins, Dusty Bowl, Hammerlocke Hills, Stony Wilderness, Slippery Slope, and Snowslide Slope
- Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - Routes 216 and 217, Acuity Lakefront, Glacial Cavern, Icy Cave, and Whiteout Cave
- Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Avalanche Slops, Bonechill Wastes, Avalugg's legacy, Snowpoint Temple, Glacier Terrace, Icebound Falls, Heart's Crag, and Pearl Settlement
- Pokémon Scarlet and Violet - Glaseado Mountain and five-star Tera Raid battles
Where can I catch Froslass?
Like Glalie, you can bypass the evolution methods and grab Froslass in the wild, if you're lucky. Here are the locations where it spawns in the Switch games:
- Pokémon Sword and Shield - Giant's Cap, Giant's Bed, Old Cemetery, Snowslide Slope, Slippery Slope, Tunnel to the Top, and Hammerlocke Hills
- Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Avalanche Slopes, Bonechill Wastes, Avalugg's Legacy, Snowpoint Temple, the Pearl Settlement at night, and Ice Column Chamber during the day
- Pokémon Scarlet and Violet - Dalizapa Passage, Glaseado Mountain, and five-star Tera Raid battles
Is Snorunt in Pokémon Go?
You'll be pleased to know that yes, Snorunt is in Pokémon Go. In order to evolve it into a Glalie, you'll need 100 candies as well as 200 mega energy if you want to evolve it further into a Mega Glalie. To get your hands on a Froslass in Pokémon Go, you need to give Snorunt the same amount of candies and a Sinnoh stone.
