New Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep: Catch Sneasel and Weavile!
Pokémon fans rejoice! New Pokémon have arrived in Pokémon Sleep. As of December 3rd, 2024, Sneasel and Weavile are available for befriending. This guide explains how to add these icy, shadowy creatures to your team.
Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile
Given their dual Ice/Dark typing in the main series games, you might expect Sneasel and Weavile to appear in snowy locations. In Pokémon Sleep, however, they're classified as Dark-type Pokémon (the game doesn't support dual typing). You can find them in two locations:
- Snowdrop Tundra: Their primary habitat.
- Greengrass Isle: Accessible to all players, regardless of 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 possess the Dozing sleep type. To maximize your chances of encountering them, ensure your sleep type matches. Sneasel is easier to find and evolves into Weavile using 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 Good in Pokémon Sleep?
Sneasel's value lies in its berry gathering capabilities. As a Dark-type, it collects Wiki Berries, particularly useful in Snowdrop Tundra. It also provides an "Extra Tasty" bonus to your dishes. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, making a well-equipped Sneasel a valuable addition to your team.
