How To Get Sneasel and Weavile in Pokemon Sleep

New Pokémon Sleep Companions: Sneasel and Weavile!

Pokémon Sleep players have a treat! As of December 3rd, 2024, Sneasel and Weavile are now available to befriend. This guide explains how to add these icy newcomers to your team.

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 a snowy location. In Pokémon Sleep, however, they appear as Dark-type Pokémon on two islands:

• Snowdrop Tundra: Their primary habitat, reflecting their icy nature.
• Greengrass Isle: Surprisingly, they also appear on the starter island, making them accessible to all players.

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

Sleep Types and Evolution

Both Sneasel and Weavile share the "Dozing" sleep type. To increase your chances of finding them, ensure your sleep type matches. Sneasel is easier to find initially. To evolve Sneasel into Weavile, you'll need 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw. Note that you'll still need to encounter Weavile in the wild for Sleep Research data.

Are Sneasel and Weavile Worth It?

Sneasel's value lies in its berry-gathering capabilities. As a Dark-type, it collects Wiki Berries, particularly useful on Snowdrop Tundra. 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 addition to your team.
