Note that a Snorunt can only evolve into a Froslass if it is female. If you’re specifically looking for a shiny Froslass, you’ll need to win an additional 50/50 coin flip to get the correct 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 normal day is approximately one in 500. Snorunt is not a confirmed Pokémon that receives a “permaboost” (meaning that it is a rare spawn and therefore receives an increased shiny rate).
What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?
Unfortunately not much. It seems to be a coincidence. Catch rates for Shiny Pokémon are set by developer Niantic and are typically only increased during special events such as Community Days or Safari Zones, or during Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that increase the rate of Shiny Pokémon.
Where can I find a list of available shiny Pokémon?
LeekDuck holds a list of currently available shiny Pokémon. It’s a helpful visual guide that illustrates what all existing shiny Pokémon look like.
