Pokémon Sleep is bringing Cresselia to the roster to fight against Darkrai

by Lily Mar 21,2025

The world of Pokémon Sleep is about to get a whole lot more interesting—or perhaps a little spooky. Cresselia, the Legendary Pokémon known for its dream-inducing powers, is making its debut, and it’s bringing a rival with it! Get ready for the Cresselia vs. Darkrai event, a two-week showdown of sweet dreams versus shadowy nightmares.

From March 31st to April 14th, your chances of encountering Cresselia during sleep research significantly increase. Focus your efforts on Greengrass Isle, Snowdrop Tundra, or Lapis Lakeside for the best results.

Befriending Cresselia grants you access to its Lunar Blessing skill, restoring your team's energy and providing extra Berries. The bonus Berries increase with the number of Psychic-type buddies on your team. Remember, only one Special Pokémon like Cresselia can join your team at a time, so choose wisely!

ytThis global event challenges players to combat the nightmares inflicted by Darkrai. Cresselia and Darkrai's influence will peak between March 31st and April 14th, with Cresselia acting as a counter to Darkrai's influence, helping rescue Pokémon suffering from bad dreams.

Boost your Drowsy Power with Cresselia on your team to contribute to the global effort and fight off the nightmares. Collect Cresselia Down to exchange for special items like Cresselia Incense and Biscuits, and earn exclusive event rewards.

And here’s the exciting part: If the global community generates enough Event Drowsy Power, there's a chance to befriend Darkrai itself! Imagine adding the master of nightmares to your dream team.
