New Pokémon Sleep Companions: Sneasel and Weavile
Pokémon Sleep players have a reason to celebrate! As of December 3rd, 2024, Sneasel and its evolution, Weavile, are available to befriend. This guide explains how to add these icy newcomers to your team.
Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile
Given their dual Ice/Dark typing in the main series games, you might expect to find them in a snowy location. In Pokémon Sleep, however, Sneasel and Weavile appear as Dark-type Pokémon on two islands:
If your current research island isn't one of these, use an EZ Travel Ticket to change locations.
Sleep Types and Evolution
Both Sneasel and Weavile are of the Dozing sleep type. To maximize your chances of encountering them, ensure your sleep type matches.
Sneasel is easier to find initially. Evolution to Weavile requires 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw. Note that you'll still need to encounter Weavile in the wild for Sleep Research data.
Sneasel and Weavile's Value
Sneasel's primary benefit is Wiki Berry gathering, making it a valuable addition to your Snowdrop Tundra team. It also provides an "Extra Tasty" bonus to your dishes. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, so a well-equipped Sneasel is a worthwhile addition.
