Can Snorlax Still Be Found in the Wild?

I'm a pretty new player - just started a month and a half ago. (I'm level 29 right now, which I feel isn't too bad for such a short time.) I really want to get a Snorlax, but I have tried and failed several times to get people in my community interested in the Snorlax raids that have been popping up the past couple of weeks. Everyone is so focused on Mewtwo that they are ignoring the other raids, and I'm sure that most of the long-time players have Snorlaxes galore. Is my only hope of catching a Snorlax to try and convince some people to join me in one of those raids, or can he still be found in the wild like in the early days of PoGO?

He can still be found in the wild, but he is very rare in most places, it took me almost a year to get my first one. If you can't find raid partners, your best chance is to hatch one from 10k eggs.

My last 2x Snorlax hatches were a year and a half apart from each other. That's how rare it is nowadays to get it from 10km eggs.

I would say the best chance is to find a couple of buddies and get it from raids during this Kanto event.

They’re out there, just rare. I found a wild one in a parking lot a few weeks ago, and one at a Pokéstop a few months ago. They can also be hatched from 10km eggs. Keep trying for the raids, once you get a few Machamps you can do it with less people, I did one the second day of Mewtwo raids as we waited for another raid to hatch. Good luck!

I have been working on powering up my Machamp squad, so that should help if I can get another couple of people to raid with me. I didn't know you could get Snorlax out of a 10k egg, though! I hope I can get one, although the odds must be really low. I have hatched quite a few 10k eggs and not found one yet.

Ive found a few, last one about 2 weeks back in the wild but they're extremely rare. i'd say your most reliable bet is raiding one.

During this event they've been spawning during Partly Cloudy weather, they're still rare though.

You could also consider trading for one - plenty of people have Snorlaxes they got as Special Research Rewards, as well as what they have caught or hatched.

I've been playing since a few months after the game started and have only had one wild encounter in those two years (about two weeks back). I've picked up quite a few from 10k eggs and the recent special research. Most longer term players would probably have a spare to trade.

Friendly advice, you're also better off ignoring the other raids (maybe dratini is worth for you) and focusing on Mewtwo with the rest of your community.

Yes, Snorlax is out there but a very rare species. It also depends on where you live. In more than two years playing the game I can still count with the fingers of one hand the number of wild snorlax I encountered. The first snorlax took me longer than one year.

Your better chance of getting a good snorlax is hatching 10 km eggs.

Snorlax is rare, but it is more common in certain biomes, namely the Meadow biome. Meadow can easily be identified outside of events by it spawning a lot of Teddiursa and Eevee and you can also guess where it might exist by looking at openstreetmap tags, but that's more advanced stuff.

There were 2 small spots of meadow near my old home and during the 2 years that I lived there, I saw 10+ Snorlax in total in those 2 spots and 1 outside of those spots in the same area.

That explains where I used to live. Never saw Snorlax, but then we got weather, and it seemed every PC day had one somewhere. (Emphasis on one). But regardless, Eevee would be everywhere and Teddiursa and similar would pop regardless of the weather. Thanks for the ID!

Yeah, weather also plays a big part. Just like the commons, it makes rares of the appropriate weather much more likely to spawn.

I have maybe seen my first ever wild Snorlax encounter a few weeks ago when I was visiting a different town. Walked next to a small park when I saw a wild Snorlax on my sightings.

Your best bet is to trade one. Hatching or finding one in the wild these days has become near impossible.
