by Connor May 30,2026

Packed Portions Cooking Week runs until June 16th

Cooking Week Bundles Vol. 1 S, M, and L will be available

Expert mode arriving soon

Following last week's teaser, Pokémon Sleep has officially revealed details about the first phase of Packed Portions Cooking Week. The event gives Ingredient-specialist helper Pokémon more frequent appearances during sleep research. From now until June 16th across all areas, dishes will provide a 1.5x Strength boost.

The latest update enhances gameplay with a 60% enlarged cooking pot capacity. A special Mini Candy Boost event also reduces Dream Shard costs while doubling the EXP helper Pokémon gain from candies.

Until June 17th, trainers can acquire Cooking Week Bundles Vol. 1 in S, M and L sizes. These bundles include valuable items to strengthen bonds with Mawile while nurturing them.

Pokemon Sleep gameplay preview

Exciting additions are coming this summer, as Pokémon Sleep prepares to introduce a new expert mode launching in July/August. While raising Snorlax will become more challenging, players will earn substantially better rewards for their efforts.

Prepare for these upcoming features by expanding your friend network and research community to maximize participation in all events.

The game is available for free with optional in-app purchases on Google Play and the App Store. Stay updated by following the official Twitter account and visiting the website. Watch the embedded clip above to preview the gameplay experience.
