Valentine's Day Event Bonuses and New Recipes

Boosted Strength for Dishes

Event Date Strength Bonus Extra Tasty Bonus
February 9 - 14 x1.5 x3
February 15
(Sunday)
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 Sunday, February 15, which is the last day of the Valentine's Day event, this Extra Tasty 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

Pokemon Sleep - Extra Tasty Jigglypuff

Every dish has a random chance of being Extra Tasty. On Sundays, there is an additional 10% chance of getting an Extra Tasty dish.

You can also improve your chances of cooking an Extra Tasty dish by using a Pokemon with the Tasty Chance S skill. Adding more ingredients than the recipe calls for is also believed to help.

The new Pokemon, Cutiefly and Ribombee, will have the greatest appearance rate during this event week. They can be found on Greengrass Isle and Taupe Hollow.

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.

List of All Research Areas

Get the Rare Pinsir and Absol!

Pokemon Sleep - Pinsir Upright Sleep Pokemon Sleep - Absol Tucked Sleep

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.

Best Research Island for Pokemon Sleep Valentine's Day Event

Lapis Lakeside for Cutiefly and Ribombee

Pokemon Sleep - Lapis Lakeside Snorlax

If you only want to befriend Cutiefly and Ribombee, it would be best to go to Lapis Lakeside or Amber Canyon. These have the least amount of Pokemon with an increased appearance rate, so you have a better chance of finding them.

Since Amber Canyon requires a high Team RP, most players would probably prefer to go to Lapis Lakeside instead, so that it's not too much of a struggle to raise Snorlax's Strength rating.

Greengrass Isle for Most Featured Pokemon

Pokemon Sleep - Greengrass Isle Snorlax

If you want to see all the featured Pokemon, Greengrass Isle has them all except for Stufful. 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, set up a Camp, or maybe even use a Pokemon with Cooking Power-Up S in order to make these dishes.
