New Pokémon and a new event are coming to Pokémon Sleep later this month! You can check out the details for both below.
Rufflet and Braviary come down to roost in Pokémon Sleep
Starting at January 20, 2025, at 3:00 p.m., Rufflet and Braviary will be available to encounter in Pokémon Sleep in specific areas.
Areas where Rufflet and Braviary can be found:
- Greengrass Isle
- Cyan Beach
- Snowdrop Tundra
They will have the main skill Berry Burst which “gets a set amount of Berries plus a few of each of the Berries other Pokémon on your team collect”.
Take advantage of Super Skill Week
From Monday, January 20, at 4:00 a.m. to Monday, January 27, at 3:59 a.m., Super Skill Week will be taking place in Pokémon Sleep. Pokémon with the Skills specialty will be able to make the most out of this event and they will appear more frequently during Sleep Research.
This event will take place in all areas, so we recommend looking at where Pokémon you’d like to encounter are spawning.
Event bonuses
- The chance of triggering the main skill of helper Pokémon with the Skills specialty will be multiplied by 1.5.
- Main skill levels of helper Pokémon with the Skills specialty will be boosted by 3 when they trigger.
- The limited-time Mini Candy Boost function will be available.
- Pokémon of different sleep types will appear during sleep research regardless of your sleep type for that day.
- Certain Pokémon will be more likely to appear during sleep research.
