Author : Gabriella Mar 31,2025

The Pokémon Company has introduced an exciting new update for Pokémon Sleep, bringing Rufflet and Braviary into the mix. These two new Flying-type Pokémon will be making more frequent appearances starting January 20th, rewarding your dedication as a sleep researcher.

With the latest update, you'll have the chance to encounter Rufflet and Braviary in Greengrass Isle, Cyan Beach, and Snowdrop Tundra by using your Pokémon Incense. Additionally, from January 20th to January 27th, you can take advantage of Super Skill Week to boost your Pokémon's special abilities across all areas.

During this period, Pokémon with the Skills specialty will have an increased chance of appearing. Moreover, the Mini Candy Boost will be available for a limited time, enhancing your gameplay. For example, helper Pokémon with the Skills specialty will have a 1.5x higher chance of activating their main skill, and once activated, these skills will be amplified by 3x.
