Introducing the Hidden Gems: How to Capture Sneasel and Weavile in Pokémon Sleep

New Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep: Catch Sneasel and Weavile!

Pokémon fans rejoice! New Pokémon have arrived in Pokémon Sleep. As of December 3rd, 2024, Sneasel and Weavile are available to befriend – provided you know where to look.

Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile

Given their dual Ice/Dark typing in the main series games, you might expect to find Sneasel and Weavile in snowy locations. In Pokémon Sleep, however, they're classified as Dark-type and appear on two islands:

• Snowdrop Tundra: This is their primary habitat, reflecting their icy origins.
• Greengrass Isle: Surprisingly, these Pokémon also appear on the starter island, making them accessible to all players regardless of game progress.

If you're currently researching on a different island, use an EZ Travel Ticket to switch to either Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle to increase your chances of encountering them.

Sleep Types and Evolution

Both Sneasel and Weavile share the Dozing sleep type. To maximize your chances of finding them, ensure your sleep type matches. Sneasel is easier to find initially. Evolving it into 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 In-Game Utility

Sneasel's primary value lies in its berry-gathering ability, specifically Wiki Berries, making it a strong addition to your Snowdrop Tundra team. It also provides a Tasty Chance S skill, boosting dish quality. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, making a well-equipped Sneasel a valuable asset.
