Whether you want to complete your Pokemon Legends ZA Pokedex or add a trusty Ice-type battler to your team, learning to evolve Snorunt will allow you to make the most out of the Snow Hat Pokemon.
Snorunt is a Generation 3 Pokemon that was originally discovered in the snowy regions of Hoenn. It is known to only feed on ice and snow, and people believed that if this Pokemon visits a home, the owner of that home will prosper for a long time.
In Pokemon Legends ZA, Snorunt can be captured and used as an Ice-type damage dealer, which is when you need something to get rid of Flying- and Dragon-type foes.
For this guide, we’ll give you a rundown of Snorunt in Pokemon Legends ZA, such as its location and ways to evolve it as soon as possible.
Key Points
- To evolve a Snorunt into a Glalie, it needs to reach level 42.
- To make a Snorunt evolve into a Froslass, you’ll need a Dawn Stone, which is available at the Stone Emporium.
- Froslass is statistically the better evolution form for Snorunt when it comes to battles, since it’s faster and deals higher special damage than Glalie.
Snorunt’s Location in Pokemon Legends ZA
To find and capture a Snorunt in Legends ZA, you have to unlock Lumiose City’s Wild Zone 12, which is a special area designed to host Ice-type Pokemon. Wild Zone 12 will eventually appear on the southern section of your map once you reach a certain point in the game’s main story.
Within Wild Zone 12 are mobs of Ice types like Vanillite, Delibird, Snover, Bergmite, and, of course, Snorunt. The only non-Ice types that you can encounter here are a few Machop, Machoke, and Gogoat.
You can find multiple Snorunt in the northeastern section of Wild Zone 12, and they’re easy to spot if you stand in the north or northeast entrances. Unlike most Pokemon in the game, Snorunt won’t attack or flee when you approach. Still, stay alert while hunting these cute critters, as an Alpha Abomasnow often walks near their spawn points.
Apart from Wild Zone 12, you can also capture Snorunt post-game by purchasing the Mega Dimension DLC. Although there’s likely no reason for you to get Snorunt after beating the main story, it remains accessible in Hyperspace Wild Zones that feature Ice-type Pokemon.
How does Snorunt Evolve
Snorunt can evolve into two forms: it can become a Glalie upon reaching level 42 or a Froslass by using a Dawn Stone.
Of Snorunt’s two evolutions, Froslass is the more accessible option. You can simply purchase a Dawn Stone from the Stone Emporium, which conveniently sits right beside Wild Zone 12. If you want a Froslass right away, catch a Snorunt in Wild Zone 12, exit through the northeastern gate, then head south to the Stone Emporium to buy a Dawn Stone.
On the other hand, evolving a Snorunt into a Glalie isn’t that hard either, since all you need to do is keep using it in battles, such as Trainer battles and the ZA Royale. You can also feed it with items like Rare Candies and Exp. Candies until it reaches level 42.
Glalie vs. Froslass: Head-to-Head Comparisons
Are you wondering which one between Glalie and Froslass is the better choice in battles? While Snorunt has perfectly spread stat points (50 points per stat), here’s complete information on the differences between its two evolution forms:
| Forms | Type | HP | Attack | Defense | Sp. Attack | Sp. Defense | Speed | Total Base Stat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glalie | Ice | 80 | 80 | 80 | 80 | 80 | 80 | 480 |
| Froslass | Ice/Ghost | 70 | 80 | 70 | 80 | 70 | 110 | 480 |
Glalie essentially acts as a direct upgrade to Snorunt, featuring evenly distributed base stats across the board. This balanced stat spread allows for flexible EV training, letting you build it as either a physical or special attacker.
Meanwhile, Froslass has slightly lower HP, Defense, and SP. Defense stats than Glalie, although it remains quite flexible to EV train due to its decent Attack and Sp. Attack stats. It does excel, however, in Speed, making it, in most cases, better than Glalie in battles.
Mega Glalie vs. Mega Froslass
Mega Froslass is one of the new Mega forms revealed in Pokemon Legends ZA, making Snorunt a must-catch if you want to complete your Mega Evolution Pokedex.
Here’s what their stats look like once Glalie and Froslass mega evolve:
| Forms | Type | HP | Attack | Defense | Sp. Attack | Sp. Defense | Speed | Total Base Stat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Glalie | Ice | 80 | 120 | 80 | 120 | 80 | 100 | 580 |
| Mega Froslass | Ice/Ghost | 70 | 80 | 70 | 140 | 100 | 120 | 580 |
The Mega Evolutions of Glalie and Froslass each gain an additional 100 points to their total base stats. Mega Glalie sees major boosts to both Attack and Special Attack, maintaining its flexibility as a mixed attacker.
Mega Froslass, however, stands out as the stronger option overall. While Mega Glalie does gain improved Speed, Ice/Ghost-type Mega Froslass outspeeds it by 20 base points and boasts a higher Special Attack stat of 140, giving it the edge in offensive pressure.
Lastly, as a dual type, Mega Froslass is resistant to more types than Mega Glalie. It only receives half the damage from Ice-, Poison-, and Bug-type moves, while it is immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves.

Final Thoughts
Although Snorunt is one of the most accessible Ice types in Pokemon Legends ZA, you should play through the game’s story first before you can access its habitat in Lumiose City, the Wild Zone 12.
Snorunt can now evolve into two Pokemon capable of Mega Evolution, making it a strong addition to teams aiming to climb the ranks in the ZA Royale or take on any threat looming over Lumiose City.
