New Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep: Catch Sneasel and Weavile!

Pokémon fans rejoice! New Pokémon have arrived in Pokémon Sleep. As of December 3rd, 2024, you can now befriend Sneasel and Weavile. This guide explains how.

Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile

Given their Ice/Dark typing in the main series games, you might expect Sneasel and Weavile in snowy areas. In Pokémon Sleep, they appear at Snowdrop Tundra. However, they are classified as Dark-type Pokémon in this 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 islands if needed.

Sleep Types

Both Sneasel and its evolution, Weavile, are Dozing-type Pokémon. For better encounter rates, ensure your sleep type matches "Dozing" for the night. Sneasel is easier to find during Sleep Research, evolving into Weavile with 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw. However, you'll need to find Weavile in the wild for Sleep Research data.

Are They Good?

Sneasel's value lies in its berry-gathering abilities (Wiki Berries) and its contribution to "Extra Tasty" dishes. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, making a well-equipped Sneasel a valuable addition to your Snowdrop Tundra team.
