Where can I catch Snorunt?

How do I evolve Snorunt?
Evolving Snorunt, for the most part, is easy. To evolve Snorunt into a Glalie, all you need to do is level it up to level 42. Simple! This can happen with both male and female Snorunts.
If you want a Froslass, you need a female Snorunt and a dawn stone – a specific evolutionary item. It doesn’t matter what level your Snorunt is, as long as it’s female, it will evolve into Froslass when using the stone.
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
