Snorunt – The Shiny Hat Pokémon in Pokémon Go
Snorunt, the snow hat Pokémon from Hoenn, is now available to be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. Trainers will be pleased to know that it is possible for Snorunt to be shiny in Pokémon Go!
Trainers should note that Snorunt can only evolve into a Froslass if it’s female. So, if you’re aiming for a shiny Froslass, you’ll need to win a 50/50 coin flip to get the right gender. Good luck!
What is the shiny rate for Snorunt in Pokémon Go?
According to old research from the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the shiny rate for Pokémon on a regular day is approximately one in 500. It’s important to note that Snorunt is not confirmed to have an increased shiny rate, meaning it’s still a rare spawn in the game.
What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?
Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to increase your chances. Shiny Pokémon catch rates are determined by developer Niantic and are usually only boosted during special events such as Community Days, Safari Zones, or Legendary Raids. There are currently no items that can boost shiny Pokémon rates.
