New Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep: Catching 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 – provided you know where to look.
Sneasel and Weavile Locations:
These Ice/Dark-type Pokémon (Dark-type only in Pokémon Sleep) can be found in two locations:
- Snowdrop Tundra: Their natural habitat, reflecting their dual typing in the main series games.
- Greengrass Isle: Accessible to all players, regardless of game progress.
If you're not currently researching on either of these islands, use an EZ Travel Ticket to change your research location.
Sleep Types:
Both Sneasel and Weavile share the Dozing sleep type. To increase your chances of encountering them, ensure your sleep type matches theirs for the night. Sneasel is easier to find during Sleep Research, 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 They Worth It?
Sneasel's primary value lies in its Wiki Berry gathering ability, making it a valuable addition to your Snowdrop Tundra team. It also provides an Extra Tasty boost to your dishes. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, so a well-equipped Sneasel is a worthwhile addition.
