Valentine's Day 2024 Event Now Over!

List of All Events

Valentine's Day Event Bonuses and New Recipes

Boosted Strength for Dishes

Event Date	Strength Bonus	Extra Tasty Bonus
February 12 - 17	x1.5	x3
February 18 (last day)	x1.5	x4.5

Pokemon Sleep is making our Valentine's week sweeter by giving us dish strength bonuses all week long!

All dishes made during this week will have a 1.5x Strength boost. Extra Tasty dishes, which are normally double (2x) the expected dish Strength, will instead have triple (3x) the original dish Strength during this event.

On February 18, the last day of the Valentine's Day event, this bonus goes up to 4.5x. Combined with the doubled pot capacity on Sundays, you can make an exceptionally strong dish that may allow you to jump through multpile Snorlax Ratings all at once.

How to Get an Extra Tasty Dish

Every dish has a random chance of being Extra Tasty. It is unclear what affects this chance, but adding more ingredients than the recipe calls for is believed to help. At the very least, adding as many ingredients as you can helps increase the Strength of the dish.

Event is Available on All Islands

Desserts/Drinks for Snorlax's Requested Dish

Regardless of which research area you choose for the week, your Snorlax will have Desserts and Drinks as their cooking request. All of the event bonuses should also apply to all research area islands.

However, the featured Pokemon for this event will only appear in their designated research areas.

New Dessert and Drink Recipes!

New Dessert/Drink Recipes
"Petal Dance" Chocolate Tart	"Flower Gift" Macarons

Two new Dessert and Drink recipes have been added to Pokemon Sleep for the Valentine's Day 2024 Event! These new dishes are the “Petal Dance” Chocolate Tart and the “Flower Gift” Macarons.

“Petal Dance” Chocolate Tart Recipe

Dish	Description	Recipe
“Petal Dance” Chocolate Tart	A tricksy tart that scatters flower petals when you eat it.	・ Soothing Cacao x11 ・ Fancy Apple x11

This is a simple recipe that requires only Soothing Cacao and Fancy Apples. Soothing Cacao can be obtained from the featured Pokemon in this event, while Fancy Apple is best obtained by Raichu, a level 30 Pinsir or a level 30 Delibird.

"Flower Gift" Macarons Recipe

Dish	Description	Recipe
“Flower Gift” Macarons	These macarons are perfect to give as a gift—they always make the recipient smile.	・ Soothing Cacao x25 ・ Fancy Egg x25 ・ Honey x17 ・ Moomoo Milk x10

The “Flower Gift” Macarons recipe calls for Soothing Cacao and Honey, both ingredients easily obtainable from the Pokemon featured in this event, as well as Fancy Egg and Moomoo Milk. The best Pokemon for getting the Fancy Egg ingredient is Delibird. For Moomoo Milk, Blastoise and its pre-evolutions are some of the best Pokemon you can use.

Different Sleep Types During Sleep Research

During the Valentine's Day Event, Pokemon of all sleep types will be available during sleep research after sleep sessions, as if you have a Balanced Sleep Type for every sleep session. This means that you don't have to aim for a particular Sleep Type if you're hoping for one of the featured Pokemon to appear.

All Sleep Types and How to Get Each One

Increased Shiny Rate During Valentine's Day Event

Shiny Bulbasaur

Shiny Jigglypuff

Shiny Slowpoke

All of the featured Pokemon have increased Shiny odds during this Valentine's Day Event. The list of Pokemon with greater chances of being Shiny include Bulbasaur, Jigglypuff, Slowpoke, Pinsir, Chikorita, and Absol.

If Shiny hunting is your aim, it's recommended to do two sleep sessions per day in order to maximize the number of Pokemon you can find.

List of Pokemon Appearing During Valentine's Day Event

Featured Pokemon for Valentine's Day Event

Pokemon	Berry | Ingredients	Skill

Jigglypuff	| Skills Specialty	Energy for Everyone S
Slowpoke	| Skills Specialty	Energizing Cheer S
Pinsir	| Ingredients Specialty	Charge Strength S

Bulbasaur, Jigglypuff, Slowpoke, Pinsir, Chikorita, and Absol will all have a higher chance of appearing after sleep sessions during the Valentine's Day event.

Since Pokemon of all Sleep Types can appear regardless of your personal Sleep Type during your sleep session, you don't have to worry about sleeping a particular way to encounter the Pokemon you want. However, these Pokemon will only be available in research areas that they already appear in.

Research Island Pokemon Availability

Research Area	Featured Pokemon
Greengrass Isle
Cyan Beach
Taupe Hollow
Snowdrop Tundra
Lapis Lakeside

All of the featured Valentine's Day Pokemon will be available on Greengrass Isle. Other islands will have a sparser selection, which may be beneficial if you're aiming for just one particular Pokemon.

Jigglypuff is available in all research areas.

List of All Research Areas

Get the Rare Pinsir and Absol!

Pinsir and Absol are two of the rarer Pokemon you can find in Pokemon Sleep. They have no evolutionary lines, so the only way to get them is to find them in the wild and befriend them with Biscuits. They also tend to have higher friendship point requirements, so you may need to encounter them multiple times in order to befriend them.

This Valentine's Day event gives you more opportunities to find and befriend these rare Pokemon. Getting their Sleep Styles registered will also be helpful to reach your next Sleep Style Dex Goal.

Possible New Pokemon: Cherrim!

Cherrim's face is featured on the official banner for this event. Now, this could just be an easter egg-type dish like how "Huge Power" Soy Donuts feature an Azumarill design. It's possible that this is just hinting that this macaron dish is called "Flower Gift" Macarons.

However, new Pokemon additions have been teased in previous event banners before, though there has been no news of any new Pokemon during this event.

Best Research Island for Pokemon Sleep Valentine's Day Event

Greengrass Isle for All Featured Pokemon

If you want to see all the featured Pokemon, Greengrass Isle is the only research area that has them all. Greengrass Isle is also accessible to everyone, regardless of whether you're new to Pokemon Sleep or have been playing since launch.

These are the strongest dessert and drink recipes in Pokemon Sleep. It's a good idea to make these strong recipes during the Valentine's Day Event, though you do have to upgrade your cooking pot and maybe even use a Pokemon with Cooking Power-Up S in order to make these dishes.

New Valentine's Day Event Dishes

Dish	Recipe	Base Strength
“Flower Gift” Macarons	・ Soothing Cacao x25 ・ Fancy Egg x25 ・ Honey x17 ・ Moomoo Milk x10 Total ingredients: 77	13834

“Flower Gift” Macarons, one of the newest dishes added into Pokemon Sleep is actually the strongest dessert recipe you can make. It requires a total of 77 ingredients, however, so you might want to try this only on Sunday when your cooking pot capacity is doubled.

Best Pokemon to Use for Valentine's Day Event

Pokemon	Berry | Ingredients	Skill
Venusaur	| Ingredients Specialty	Ingredient Magnet S
Blastoise	| Ingredients Specialty	Ingredient Magnet S
Gengar	| Ingredients Specialty	Charge Strength S

Pinsir	| Ingredients Specialty	Charge Strength S
Absol	| Ingredients Specialty	Charge Strength S
Toxicroak	| Ingredients Specialty	Charge Strength S
Delibird	| Ingredients Specialty	Ingredient Magnet S

These Pokemon are best equipped to help you gather the ingredients required for the recommended recipes above. Most of these are Ingredients Specialty Pokemon that can obtain more ingredients in less time.

To quickly get the ingredients for both brand new Valentine's recipes, you'll want to use a Blastoise with level 30 Soothing Cacao, a Delibird with level 30 Fancy Apple, and a Pinsir with level 30 Fancy Apple.

If your Pokemon aren't at level 30 yet, you can have Raichu obtain the Fancy Apples and Absol get Soothing Cacao. You can also have Venusaur get Honey if you don't have Pinsir.

Best Helper Pokemon Tier List

Dessert/Drink Ingredients to Focus On
Fancy Apple	Moomoo Milk	Honey

Although these ingredients don't cover all the recommended recipes above, these are the ones you can use for multiple high-Strength dishes. It's best to choose helper Pokemon that can pick up at least one of these ingredients for this week.
