New Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep: Sneasel and Weavile!
Pokémon fans rejoice! New Pokémon have arrived in Pokémon Sleep. As of December 3rd, 2024, Sneasel and Weavile are available to befriend. This guide will show you how.
Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile
Given their dual Ice/Dark typing in the main series, you might expect to find them in icy locations. 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 game progress.
If you're currently researching on a different island, use an EZ Travel Ticket to switch to either Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle.
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 during Sleep Research. Evolving it into Weavile requires 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw. Note: You'll still need to encounter Weavile in the wild for Sleep Research data.
Are Sneasel and Weavile Worth It?
Sneasel's value lies in its berry gathering capabilities and its contribution to dish tastiness. As a Dark-type, it collects Wiki Berries, especially beneficial in Snowdrop Tundra. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, making a well-equipped Sneasel a valuable addition to your team.
Speciality | Ingredients | Main Skill |
---|---|---|
Wiki Berries | Bean Sausage, Fancy Egg, Greengrass Soybeans | Tasty Chance S |
