How To Get Snom

There are two ways to encounter Snom in Pokemon Go. The first is to hatch one. The ice worm is one of several Pokemon that may hatch from 7 km eggs during the Cozy Companions event, so be sure to place these eggs in incubators while you're playing. Once the event ends, you'll have a chance to hatch Snom from 5 km eggs.

The second way to encounter the ice worm is through Research tasks. You'll earn various rewards as you complete Timed Research tasks during the Cozy Companions event, including encounters with Snom and other featured Pokemon. Since you can't tell which Pokemon will potentially hatch from an egg, completing Research tasks is your best bet to get Snom.

How To Evolve Snom Into Frosmoth

While Snom is fairly easy to get, it will take a bit of work to evolve one into Frosmoth. Before you can do so, you must first set Snom as your buddy and earn 10 hearts. You can earn hearts by feeding Snom a Poffin and doing other buddy activities together, like playing and taking photos with the Pokemon.

Once you've fulfilled that requirement, you'll need to use 400 Snom candy at night to evolve the ice worm into Frosmoth. This is a steep cost, but there are a few ways to expedite the process. If you encounter a Snom through Timed Research tasks, make sure to use a Pinap Berry before catching the Pokemon to increase the amount of candy you get. You can also convert any Rare Candy you have stocked up into Snom candy, which will help you reach the 400 requirement faster.

Can Snom Be Shiny?

Shiny Snom is not yet available in Pokemon Go, so any that you encounter during the Cozy Companions event will be their standard color. It's unclear when shiny Snom will be introduced to the mobile game, but new shiny Pokemon are typically added during special events, so there's a chance shiny Snom will arrive as part of some future event.

The Cozy Companions event runs until August 12, but there are plenty of more activities lined up for this month. You can see everything happening in Pokemon Go over the next few weeks in our August events roundup.
