Acquire Sneasel and Weavile in Pokémon Sleep!

New Pokémon Sleep Companions: Sneasel and Weavile!

Pokémon Sleep players have a treat! As of December 3rd, 2024, Sneasel and Weavile are now available. This guide explains how to befriend them.

Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile

Given their dual Ice/Dark typing in the main series games, you might expect them in a snowy location. In Pokémon Sleep, however, they're classified as Dark-type and appear in two locations:

• Snowdrop Tundra: Their primary habitat, reflecting their icy nature.
• Greengrass Isle: Surprisingly, they also appear on the starter island, making them accessible to all players.

Use an EZ Travel Ticket to change your research island if needed.

Sneasel and Weavile Sleep Types

Both Sneasel and Weavile share the Dozing sleep type. To increase your chances of encountering them, ensure your sleep type matches. Sneasel is easier to find initially, evolving into Weavile with 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw. However, you'll still need to encounter Weavile in the wild for research data.

Are Sneasel and Weavile Valuable?

Sneasel's Dark typing means it collects Wiki Berries, ideal for Snowdrop Tundra. It also provides an "Extra Tasty" bonus to dishes. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, making a well-equipped Sneasel a valuable addition.
