The Shiver Snowfields (Japanese: ヒエール雪原 Hiēru Snowfields) are a location on Durice Island of the Lental region.

Layout

The course starts inside a snowy forest with Beartic and Furret. After passing through the forest and some cliffs, the NEO-ONE reaches a massive field of snow with Swinub and Mamoswine. A Vivillon or Frosmoth can be located in an ice crack hidden in the area. After leaving this area, the NEO-ONE slides down some snow into an icy cave with Snorunt. After leaving the cave, the player can reach an area with several small ponds. Spheal and Alolan Vulpix can be found playing around the area. The course ends near an arch made out of ice. The course is mostly unchanged during the night, though some of the Pokémon are different.

Alternate routes

• On research level 2 or 3 on the day course, the player must take a picture of an Alolan Sandslash at the left side of the course. The Sandslash later reappears on the cliffs around a Beartic and Cubchoo. After taking another photo of it, the Sandslash will dig through a wall of snow, allowing the player to enter the first alternate route. This opens to a smaller forest, inhabited by an Abomasnow and Crabominable.
• The second alternate route can be accessed through the night route once the first alternate route has been unlocked on the day route. The player must enter the aforementioned alternate route, and a Crabominable can be observed to walk across to a tree on the left. Throwing an Illumina orb at the Crabominable will cause it to punch the tree, which wakes up and angers a nearby Abomasnow. A Froslass will then appear and after taking a photo of it, the player can access the second alternate route. The second alternate route will automatically be unlocked on the day course once this has been completed. This path leads to an icy cave with Vanilluxe and ancient ruins. After that, the cave leads to a sea with icebergs, Avalugg and many Pokémon that were previously seen in the course. The course ends in an area near Aurorus.

Several Sandslash can also be found in the blizzard sections of the alternate route and they will jump out and dig every time the area is scanned. Successfully illuminating the Sandslash and then feeding it a fluffruit causes it to appear in the icy cavern on the alternate route.
