Unlocking Nightcap Snorlax in Pokemon GO can be a time-consuming task, but a new exploit can significantly speed up the process. By utilizing this exploit, dedicated players may be able to unlock Nightcap Snorlax in just a few days instead of weeks, although it still requires a considerable amount of effort.
Nightcap Snorlax is a recent addition to Pokemon GO, introduced as a promotional feature for the Pokemon GO Plus+ device and its integration with Pokemon Sleep. Players who own the Pokemon GO Plus+ can utilize it to track their sleep, allowing basic information about sleep quality to be shared within the app upon awakening. Normally, players would need to use this system for 35 days in order to obtain the Nightcap Snorlax.
Pokemon YouTuber LiftingandZombies has discovered a exploit that takes advantage of the system's definition of a night's sleep. To obtain the Nightcap Snorlax early, players can begin by simply sleeping with their device, as they likely already do. Once this sleep is registered, the player must adjust their phone's clock to simulate another day passing. After this, they just need to activate the sleep mode on the Pokemon GO Plus+ for at least 1 1/2 hours, wake the device, and repeat the process.
This method still requires 35 days' worth of 'sleep' to unlock the special Snorlax. However, it reduces the time commitment to a little over 3,000 minutes or approximately 52 hours of "sleep." While the process may be tedious, dedicated players can utilize this method whenever they have free time, effectively shortening the total time by a day or more each time. Truly committed players could potentially obtain Snorlax in less than a week, even without recording a single night's sleep.
It is uncertain whether this exploit will be fixed. Normally, the system only allows for two recorded sleeping sessions per day, but changing the clock allows bypassing this limitation. However, if the app were updated to depend on an external clock, this exploit would no longer be effective. Fans of Pokemon GO who are eager to catch a Nightcap Snorlax should not delay in attempting this. Pokemon GO can be downloaded on mobile devices at the moment.
