New Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep: Sneasel and Weavile!

Pokémon fans rejoice! As of December 3rd, Sneasel and Weavile have joined the Pokémon Sleep roster. This guide explains how to befriend these icy newcomers.

Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile

True to their dual Ice/Dark typing in the main series games, Sneasel and Weavile appear in Pokémon Sleep's Snowdrop Tundra. However, they're classified as Dark-type in this game, lacking dual typing.

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

Sleep Types

Both Sneasel and Weavile are Dozing-type Pokémon. Increasing your chances of a Dozing sleep will significantly improve your odds of encountering them on Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle.

Sneasel is easier to find initially. Evolve it 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 value lies in its Wiki Berry gathering ability, making it a strong addition to your Snowdrop Tundra team. It also provides an Extra Tasty boost to your dishes. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, making a well-equipped Sneasel a valuable asset.
