Studded Jacket Snorlax in Pokémon Go is another costume Pokémon you can collect during Pokémon Go Wild Area: Global over Saturday 23rd November and Sunday 24th November 2024.

There are a couple of different ways you can add this leather-clad Snorlax to your Pokédex in Pokémon Go during this event, but there's one method we highly recommend if you can do it as it increases your chance of capturing one - and you might not even have to venture outside.

How to get Studded Jacket Snorlax in Pokémon Go Wild Area Global

You can get Studded Jacket Snorlax during Pokémon Go Wild Area Global by either encountering them in the wild or by battling them in three-star raids over Saturday 23rd November and Sunday 24th November in event hours between 10am and 6:15pm. (Don't ask why the extra '15' has been added on here - we don't know either).

Finding them in the wild is, essentially, about luck and whether one has spawned near you. Also, it comes down to if you've got enough strong Poké Balls to persuade the rock 'n' roll Snorlax to join your Pokédex. You can use Safari Balls to help you out, and we recommend using them if you've got them as your collection resets at the end of each event day.

Due to this, if you want to make sure you're giving yourself the best chance to catch a Studded Jacket Snorlax then we recommend facing them in three-star raids. It's quite handy that there are no Remote Raid Pass limits throughout Wild Area Global, meaning you don't need to leave the warmth of indoors to do this (unless you really want to).

Is Studded Jacket Snorlax shiny in Pokémon Go?
