New Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep: 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 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 areas. In Pokémon Sleep, they're found on Snowdrop Tundra. However, they are classified as Dark-type Pokémon in the game, not dual-type.

Conveniently, they also appear on Greengrass Isle, making them accessible to all players, regardless of their research island progress. Use an EZ Travel Ticket to change your research location if needed.

Sleep Types

Both Sneasel and Weavile are Dozing-type Pokémon. Increasing your chances of encountering them requires having a Dozing sleep type for the night. Sneasel is easier to find initially, evolving into Weavile with 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw. However, you'll still need to encounter Weavile in the wild for Sleep Research data.

Are They Good Additions?

Sneasel's value lies in its berry gathering capabilities. As a Dark-type, it collects Wiki Berries, particularly useful on Snowdrop Tundra. It also provides a Tasty Chance S skill, boosting dish quality. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, making a well-equipped Sneasel a valuable asset.
