Unlocking the Mystery: Sneasel, Weavile Join Pokémon Sleep

New Pokémon Arrive in Pokémon Sleep: Catch Sneasel and Weavile!

Pokémon fans rejoice! New Pokémon have arrived in Pokémon Sleep, adding excitement to your sleep research. As of December 3rd, 2024, Sneasel and Weavile are available to befriend – but you'll need to know where to look.

Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile

Given their dual Ice/Dark typing in the main series, you might expect to find Sneasel and Weavile in snowy locations. In Pokémon Sleep, however, they're classified as Dark-type Pokémon, appearing in two locations:

• Snowdrop Tundra: Their primary habitat, reflecting their icy origins.
• Greengrass Isle: Surprisingly, these Pokémon also appear on the starter island, making them accessible to all players regardless of progress.

If you're currently researching on a different island, use an EZ Travel Ticket to switch to Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle to increase your chances of encountering them.

Sleep Types and Evolution

Both Sneasel and Weavile share the "Dozing" sleep type. Increasing your chances of finding them requires ensuring you have a Dozing sleep type recorded for the night. Sneasel is easier to find initially and evolves into Weavile using 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw. However, even after evolution, you'll still need to encounter Weavile in the wild for Sleep Research data.

Are Sneasel and Weavile Valuable?

Sneasel's usefulness lies primarily in its berry-gathering capabilities. As a Dark-type, it collects Wiki Berries, making it a valuable asset for the Snowdrop Tundra. It also provides an "Extra Tasty" boost to your dishes. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, making a well-provisioned Sneasel a worthwhile addition to your team.
