Master the Art of Pokemon Sleep: Pro-level Tips & Tricks!

Pokemon Sleep, the much-awaited sleep-tracking app from Niantic, has finally arrived, bringing a fresh twist to the beloved Pokemon catching experience. Unlike previous games, this app introduces a unique approach to capturing cute Pokemon creatures.

By going to bed or taking a nap, players now have the opportunity to complete a Sleep Style Dex, a new form of Pokedex. This feature allows players to assemble a team of Pokemon Helpers, taking on the role of a Researcher rather than a Trainer. To help Pokemon Sleep fans maximize their sleep sessions and navigate the new features, here are some essential tips for beginners and expert tricks.

Use Poke Biscuits on Hungry Pokemon

Since Hungry Pokémon have a greater likelihood of achieving a Big or Mega Hit, it is advisable to start by feeding them a Poke Biscuit. Normally, a Poke Biscuit grants only one Friendship Point, although there is a possibility that it can reach the maximum Friendship Points for a Hungry Pokémon in the event of a Mega Hit.

Match Pokemon Specialty with Snorlax Preferences

The Specialty of a Pokemon determines the type of items it can gather. For instance, a Pokemon specialized in "Berries" is more likely to collect the favorite fruits of the Sleeping Snorlax. On the other hand, a Pokemon specialized in "Ingredients" increases the chances of obtaining recipe items.

Collect Diamonds from the Notes Section

During the player's slumber, Pokémon that reach their maximum capacity will offer some of their gathered berries to the slumbering Snorlax. Therefore, it is advisable to align their individual specialties with Snorlax's preferences prior to each sleep session in order to obtain the utmost potency in inducing drowsiness.

By unlocking new Notes, Pokemon Sleep Researchers are rewarded with Diamonds. However, these valuable gifts are not automatically added to the inventory. Players need to collect them manually from the Main Menu, specifically from the “Notes” section.

Stock Up on Dream Clusters

Dream Clusters can be exchanged for more Dream Shards at higher levels. So players are advised to hold onto them early in the game and sell them at the maximum exchange rate.

Collect Rewards from Manual Data Entry

While performing manual data entry may not offer the typical benefits, it can effectively replenish Pokemon energy and enhance the likelihood of obtaining additional biscuits during the subsequent sleep session. It is important to bear in mind that the rewards for manual data entry are only provided once per day. To input sleep data, navigate to the Main Menu and tap on "Add Sleep Data."

Add Friends to Earn Free Pokemon Candies

Whenever a friend studies a particular Pokemon, players will be rewarded with free Pokemon Candies. Additionally, they will earn more Closeness points, enhancing their chances of obtaining valuable rewards. To add a friend in Pokemon Sleep, simply navigate to the Research Community section in the Main Menu and enter their ID or scan their QR Code.

Pokemon Sleep is available now for Android and iOS.
