Pokémon Sleep – What Is It And How Do You Play?

Pokemon Sleep is a game that was first announced back in 2019 before disappearing for the following three years. There was so little news about the next Pokemon mobile title that many thought the game had been cancelled – until now.

Set to release on the 14th of July, Pokemon Sleep is still an enigma, and we still need clarification about several aspects of Pokemon Sleep. So the creators decided to inform us by releasing a video to explain its mechanics and how it interacts with the player’s sleeping habits.

The video clarified that Pokemon Sleep is one of the franchise’s strangest games. With a smartphone, it will track gamers’ sleep to fill a Sleep Style Dex.

Besides just tracking sleep, there are several mechanics attached to the game. Sleeping for more extended periods makes it possible to get higher Sleep Scores.

During the day, players can feed the iconic sleepy Snorlax, which increases its Strength. After that, the night’s Sleep Score is multiplied by Snorlax’s Strength, giving it more Drowzy Power, which allows players to catch more Pokemon sleep styles.

As Snorlax grows over time, it also improves the chances of getting new sleep styles. Players can also use the app to track what time they woke up or went to bed, how many hours were slept, and listen to recordings of sleeping sounds.
