Snorunt is a rare Ice Pokemon that you can find in Pokemon Hideaway areas of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl‘s Grand Underground. More specifically, Snorunt only spawns in Icy Cave, Whiteout Cave, and Glacial Caverns areas. Although Snorunt itself is kinda underpowered, you can turn it into two different Pokemon either by leveling up or using an item. Here’s how you can evolve Snorunt your Snorunt in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: Snorunt Evolutions

Snorunt can only evolve once, but in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you actually have two options. Either level it up to level 42 to turn it into Glalie, or if yours is a female Snorunt, you can use a Dawn Stone to turn it into Froslass. Glalie has more rounded stats that makes it into a jack-of-all-trade Ice Pokemon, however, it’s not particularly strong in any department and can be easily substituted with any Water Pokemon with Ice Beam. Meanwhile, Froslass’s Defense isn’t good but she’s rather quick and can learn Dream Eater via TM85, an extremely dangerous Psychic move that damages a sleeping target while healing its user. Read on below for more details about Glalie and Froslass.
