Snorunt is an Ice-type Pokemon listed in the Lumiose Pokedex as #169. In general, players treat it as an early-to-mid Ice-type option that can later evolve into two very different final forms.
Basic information
Snorunt itself has balanced but low stats, so most players catch it mainly for evolution rather than long-term use.

Most players obtain Snorunt by catching it in the wild rather than through special events or trades.
Requirements
Once these conditions are met, Snorunt becomes available in the overworld.
Snorunt can be found in:
Wild Zone 12
In general, Ice-type Pokemon like Snorunt appear more often during snowy or cold conditions. Most players report better results when exploring the zone thoroughly instead of checking only one spawn point and leaving.
Snorunt has very even base stats across the board:
In practice, this means Snorunt is not strong offensively or defensively. Usually, players focus on leveling it quickly to reach its evolutions rather than using it heavily in combat.
Snorunt has two possible evolutions, and which one you get depends on player choice and items.
Most players choose Glalie when they want a simple evolution path without managing special resources.
In general, players save Dawn Stones for this evolution because they are limited. Froslass is usually chosen for its typing and speed rather than raw durability.
Shiny Snorunt follows the same rules as most shiny Pokemon in the game.
In general:
There is no guaranteed method. Usually, patience and repeated attempts are the main factors.
Alpha Snorunt spawns work similarly to other Alpha Pokemon.
In practice:
There is no fixed spawn timer, so repeated exploration is usually required.
Most players catch Snorunt for one main reason: its evolutions. On its own, Snorunt is weak and usually replaced quickly. However, evolving it into Glalie or Froslass makes the effort worthwhile, especially for players building a full Ice-type or mixed team.
