Pokémon Sleep Adds New Encounters for January

by Victoria Feb 20,2025

Pokémon Sleep welcomes Rufflet and Braviary, boosting your chances of catching these Flying-type Pokémon starting January 20th! This exciting update also includes a week-long "Super Skill Week" event, maximizing your Pokémon's abilities.

The new update brings increased encounter rates for Rufflet and Braviary in Greengrass Isle, Cyan Beach, and Snowdrop Tundra. Utilize your Pokémon Incense to further enhance your chances. Super Skill Week, running until January 27th, significantly boosts the effectiveness of Pokémon skills, particularly those with the "Skills" specialty. Helper Pokémon with this specialty will have a 1.5x chance of triggering their main skill, which will then receive a 3x boost.
