New Pokémon Sleep Companions: Sneasel and Weavile!

Pokémon Sleep players can now add Sneasel and Weavile to their teams! This guide explains how to befriend these Ice/Dark-type Pokémon (though they're Dark-type only in the game).

Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile:

Sneasel and Weavile appear in two locations:

  • Snowdrop Tundra: Their natural habitat, reflecting their Ice/Dark typing in the main series.
  • Greengrass Isle: Accessible to all players, regardless of game 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 than Weavile. To evolve Sneasel into Weavile, you'll need 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw.
