Author: Caleb May 12,2025

The Pokémon Company has introduced an exciting new update to Pokémon Sleep, featuring the arrival of Rufflet and Braviary. As a dedicated sleep researcher, you'll be thrilled to know that these two new Flying-type Pokémon will be appearing more frequently starting January 20th. This update not only brings new Pokémon to your sleep research but also enhances your gameplay experience with various boosts and increased encounter rates.

In this latest update, you can explore Greengrass Isle, Cyan Beach, and Snowdrop Tundra with your Pokémon Incense to encounter Rufflet and Braviary. Additionally, the Super Skill Week, running until January 27th, allows you to maximize your Pokémon's special abilities across all areas. This week-long event is perfect for boosting your Pokémon's skills and making the most out of your sleep research.

During this period, Pokémon with the Skills specialty will have an increased chance of appearing. This means that your helper Pokémon with the Skills specialty will have a 1.5x chance of triggering their main skill, and when they do, the effect of the main skill will be boosted by 3x. Furthermore, the Mini Candy Boost will be available for a limited time, providing additional support for your Pokémon's growth.

Alongside Rufflet and Braviary, other Pokémon such as Meowth, Eevee, Psyduck, Drifloon, Growlithe, Mimikyu, Slowpoke, Togepi, Magnemite, Ralts, and more will have a slightly higher appearance rate, enhancing your chances of encountering a diverse range of Pokémon.
