New Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep: Catch Sneasel and Weavile!
Pokémon fans rejoice! New Pokémon are now available to befriend in Pokémon Sleep. As of December 3rd, 2024, Sneasel and Weavile have joined the roster. This guide explains how to add them to your team.
Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile
Given their dual Ice/Dark typing in the main series games, you might expect to find them in snowy areas. In Pokémon Sleep, however, Sneasel and Weavile appear as Dark-type Pokémon on two islands:
- Snowdrop Tundra: Their primary habitat.
- Greengrass Isle: Accessible to all players, regardless of progress.
Use an EZ Travel Ticket to change your research location if needed.
Sleep Types and Evolution
Both Sneasel and Weavile share the "Dozing" sleep type. Increasing your chances of encountering them requires setting your sleep type to "Dozing."
Sneasel is easier to find initially. Evolving it into Weavile requires 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw. However, you'll still need to encounter Weavile in the wild for Sleep Research data.
Are Sneasel and Weavile Valuable?
Sneasel's Dark typing means it collects Wiki Berries, making it a valuable asset, especially on Snowdrop Tundra. It also provides a "Tasty Chance S" skill, boosting dish quality. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items.
| Speciality | Ingredients | Main Skill |
|---|---|---|
 Berries |
Bean Sausage, Fancy Egg, Greengrass Soybeans | Tasty Chance S |
