Legendary Pokemon are a big deal in the mainstream games, and in Pokemon Go, but what about Pokemon Sleep? Until now, the official Pokemon sleep-tracking app hasn’t added any legendaries to its roster, which makes sense when you consider that most people won’t be engaging in anything like high-octane Pokemon battles in their sleep. However, the app’s upcoming Raikou Research event is going to change all of that, and Suicune and Entei reportedly aren’t too far behind. This trio of legendaries mark the first legendary Pokemon to be added to Pokemon Sleep‘s roster since it first launched in July of last year.
Raikou, Suicune, and Entei Come to Pokemon Sleep
Available on most app stores, Pokemon Sleep is one of the Pokemon Company’s newest ventures. The app works by measuring your sleeping habits either through your phone or a Pokemon Go+ device, and then assigning you a score based on your sleeping habits, sleep length, and your sleeping style. The Pokemon in Pokemon Sleep have their own sleep styles, and Pokemon will be attracted to come visit your research site based on your sleep score and how your sleep style and theirs match up. Snorlax features pretty heavily in the app, for obvious reasons, but new Pokemon and Pokemon lines are usually added once a month or so.
Raikou will be making its grand entrance into Pokemon Sleep with the Raikou Research Event, starting at the end of March. During the event, players will be able to gather scraps of Raikou mane to exchange to Raiko Incense, which you can then use to attract Raikou to your research site. The power of Electric-type helper Pokemon like Pikachu, Raichu, Jolteon, Pichu, Mareep, Flaaffy, and Ampharos will be boosted during the event. Pokemon Sleep has also teased some upcoming rewards to let players get a peek at Raikou’s sleep style, and more information about the event will be made available closer to the start of the Raikou Research event.
If Raikou isn’t your speed, the recent Pokemon Presents has also promised that Suicune and Entei, two more legendaries, will be making their Pokemon Sleep debuts sometime soon, likely with their own events.
Pokemon Sleep is currently available for Android and iOS.
