How To Get Pawmi and Alolan Vulpix in Pokemon Sleep

This year's Pokémon Sleep winter holiday event brings two adorable Pokémon: Eevee in a Santa hat, Pawmi, and Alolan Vulpix! Let's dive into how to catch them.

Pawmi and Alolan Vulpix Debut in Pokémon Sleep

The December 2024 Holiday Dream Shard Research event, running the week of December 23rd, marks the arrival of Pawmi and Alolan Vulpix. Expect boosted encounter rates and bonus Dream Shards throughout the event. Shiny versions will also be available.

Catching Pawmi

Pawmi appears on Greengrass Isle, Snowdrop Tundra, and Old Gold Power Plant, starting December 23rd at 3 PM. Pawmi, Pawmo, and Pawmot are Snoozing-type Pokémon. A Snoozing sleep type (a light, common sleep pattern) significantly increases your chances of encountering them. The Balanced sleep type also offers a chance, though lower.

Catching Alolan Vulpix

Alolan Vulpix, appearing exclusively on Snowdrop Tundra from December 23rd at 3 PM, is rarer. Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Ninetails are Slumbering-type, requiring a deep sleep (at least 8 hours) for optimal encounter rates. While a Balanced sleep type may yield results, the probability is less favorable.

Best Island for the Holiday Event

For the best chance at both Pawmi and Alolan Vulpix, target Snowdrop Tundra. Note that Snowdrop Tundra has higher team requirements, so prepare your team beforehand.

Pokémon Sleep is available on iOS and Android.
