The rest-tracking mobile game Pokémon Sleep will be ringing in the new year with a two-week event for players! Taking place from Monday, December 30, at 4:00 a.m. until Monday, January 13, at 3:59 a.m., you can find all the details below!
The main theme of the event is highlighting all of the new Pokémon added to Sleep during 2024 and giving players more chances to encounter them. The event will be active in all areas and the following bonuses will be active for the entire duration of the event:
- Pokémon of any sleep type can appear during sleep research
- Featured Pokémon are more likely to appear during sleep research.
- An Event Exchange can be accessed to trade in Dream Coins (features Poké Biscuits, Great Biscuits, Main Skill Seeds and more)
If you’re wondering how to earn Dream Coins, they will be given out based on the Sleep Research you conduct. They can also be gained from event Missions and, rarely, Friend Research.
