by Christian May 14,2025

The Pokémon Company has introduced an exciting new update for Pokémon Sleep, featuring the arrival of Rufflet and Braviary. Starting January 20th, these two Flying-type Pokémon will be more commonly encountered, rewarding your dedication as a sleep researcher.

With the latest update, you'll have the chance to utilize your Pokémon Incense to meet Rufflet and Braviary in Greengrass Isle, Cyan Beach, and Snowdrop Tundra. Additionally, the Super Skill Week, running until January 27th, allows you to enhance your Pokémon's special abilities across all areas.

During this period, Pokémon with the Skills specialty will have an increased chance of appearing. The Mini Candy Boost will also be available for a limited time, enhancing your gameplay. For instance, helper Pokémon with the Skills specialty will have a 1.5x higher chance of triggering their main skill, and once activated, these skills will receive a 3x boost.
