Pokemon Sleep Christmas Event Bonuses, Missions, Rewards, and Bundles

Christmas Event Only On Greengrass Isle

Pokemon Sleep - Greengrass Isle Snorlax

The Christmas event was only available to players who choose Greengrass Isle as their research area for the week.

Normally the favorite Berries of the Greengrass Isle Snorlax is random, but during this event week, the Snorlax on this island is guaranteed to have the Rawst Berry as one of its favorite Berries.

Use an E-Zzz Travel Ticket to Change Areas

E-Zzz Travel Ticket
Regular Exchange Price	100 Sleep Points
General Store Price	150 Diamonds

If you accidentally select a different research area for the week of the Christmas celebrations, you can change your research area by using an E-Zzz Travel Ticket.

This item has been made available in the Regular Exchange, so you can now purchase one per month using Sleep Points.

Pokemon of Different Sleep Types in Sleep Research

Different Pokemon will also be appearing, and they won't care about what Sleep Type you get for your sleep session. It will be as if you get a Balanced Sleep Type for your sessions during this event.

Ice-types, and new Pokemon such as Delibird, Snover, Abomasnow and a special Christmas Pikachu will have a greater chance of appearing for every sleep session this event week.

Dream Shard Magnet S Twice as Effective

No.	Pokemon	Sleep Type	Main Skill
52	Meowth	Snoozing	Dream Shard Magnet S
53	Persian	Snoozing	Dream Shard Magnet S
302	Sableye	Dozing	Dream Shard Magnet S
316	Gulpin	Dozing	Dream Shard Magnet S

During the event, Pokemon with the Main Skill Dream Shard Magnet S will also be twice as effective. An update before the event increased the base yield of both variants of this skill, allowing players to receive a more substantial amount of Dream Shards whenever it is triggered.

Chance to Encounter a Shiny Pokemon!

Shiny Spheal

The Shiny odds seem to be boosted for all Pokemon during this event! The event bonuses that are listed when starting a sleep session show that there is a greater Shiny appearance rate for Pokemon that appear during sleep research. Since no specific Pokemon was specified, we can assume the boosted odds apply to all.

Event-Limited Function: Candy Boost

Pokemon Sleep - Candy Boost Dream Shards
The Christmas event introduces an event-limited feature called Candy Boost, which will give your Pokemon double the effect from Candies!

The Candy Boost function allows your helper Pokemon to get twice the amount of EXP from Candies, in exchange for using more Dream Shards per Candy than usual.

The amount of Dream Shards used with this boost varies depending on the level of your Pokemon. However, this is usually about 6x the usual amount of Dream Shards or more.

Tap on Upper Right Corner of Level Up Screen to Turn On Candy Boost

Pokemon Sleep - Candy Boost Wigglytuff.png
In order to activate the Candy Boost feature, go to your Pokemon Box. Tap on the Pokemon that wants to earn EXP from Candies, and tap on Level Up.

The Candy Boost toggle should be on the upper right corner of this Level Up screen. If it has a check mark, that means it is active. It should also tell you in the next screen once you've set the amount of Candy you want to use that more Dream Shards than usual will be used.

EXP Obtained from Candies Based on Nature

	- EXP Nature	Neutral Nature	+ EXP Nature
Normal Rate	21	25	30
Candy Boost	42	50	60

How to Use the Candy Boost Function

Pikachu With a Christmas Santa Hat

Christmas Hat Pikachu

A special Christmas-themed Pikachu can appear during this holiday event. This Pikachu deviates from regular Pikachu by being a Skills Specialty Pokemon instead of a Berries Specialty Pokemon. It also has a different Main Skill in Dream Shard Magnet S. This Pikachu also cannot be evolved.
