Pokemon Sleep is implementing a level cap on Pokemon, Research Rank, recipes, and main skills that may be increased in future updates. Read on to find out the all the current max level caps, upgrade limits, max area bonus, and all other maximum limits in Pokemon Sleep.
All Max Level Caps in Pokemon Sleep
All Level Caps
| Can Level Up | Level Cap |
|---|---|
| Pokemon | 65 |
| Research Rank | 65 |
| Recipes | 65 |
| Main Skills | 6-8 |
Level caps have been expanded after the Version 2.7.0 update. Pokemon level, research rank, and recipe level have all been increased to a level 65 cap.
Max Pokemon Level Capped at Level 65
Despite having a visibly higher possible maximum level since Pokemon sub skill unlocks go up to level 100, Pokemon currently cannot be leveled up beyond level 65. This means that their level 75 and 100 sub skills cannot be unlocked yet.
This limit is expected to increase little by little in future updates, though we likely won't get to the level 100 max limit for a long while.
Sleep EXP Bonus Gauge Unlocked Upon Reaching Cap
If you go to sleep with a Pokemon that can no longer level up, the EXP it would normally gain will instead be added into the Sleep EXP Bonus Gauge. Earning 500 EXP in this bonus gauge rewards you with one Handy Candy S.
Pokemon Friendship Level Has No Confirmed Level Cap
At the moment, it appears as though Pokemon Friendship levels, which increase as you befriend more Pokemon of the same species, are not capped.
Increasing Pokemon Friendship levels allow you to get better sub skills for that Pokemon species, so it's a good idea to befriend multiple of the same Pokemon.
Night Cap Pikachu Capped at Friendship Level 20
Unlike other Pokemon, the special Night Cap Pikachu you can obtain by using the Pokemon GO Plus + device does have a Friendship level cap at level 20.
Max Research Rank Capped at Level 65
Your Research Rank, which serves as your personal level, is currently capped at level 65. Upon reaching the level cap, the research EXP you receive during sleep research will be converted into Dream Shards.
Max Recipe Level Capped at Level 65
All recipes are currently capped at level 65. The higher a recipe's level is, the higher the bonus you get when cooking that recipe.
Only recipes that can be registered are able to be leveled up, which means that Mixed Salad, Mixed Juice, and Mixed Curry cannot increase their level or offer bonuses when made.

| Ingredients Pocket | 700 |
| Items Pocket | 1,000 |
| Pokemon Box | 1,200 |
| Cooking Pot | 69 (390 Sleep Styles) |
Bag Ingredients Pocket: 700 Ingredients
You can purchase upgrades for your bag's ingredients pocket until you reach the maximum limit of 700. This limit is expected to increase as time goes on.
Bag Items Pocket: 1000 Items
The bag's items pocket is separate from the ingredients pocket and can be upgraded to hold up to 1000 items. This was increased from 600 to 700 in the Version 1.3.0 update, 800 in the Version 1.8.0 update, and 1000 in the Version 2.4.0 update.
Both the items pocket and ingredients pocket of your bag can be expanded using Diamonds.
Pokemon Box: 1200 Pokemon
The Pokemon Box can be expanded to hold up to 1200 Pokemon. Expanding your Box requires the use of Diamonds.
Any extra Pokemon you may not want to keep can be given to Professor Neroli in exchange for Pokemon Candy.
Cooking Pot Upgrades
| Sleep Styles Found | Max Cooking Pot Limit |
|---|---|
| Less than 35 | 15 |
| 35 | 21 |
| 70 | 27 |
| 110 | 33 |
| 150 | 39 |
| 190 | 45 |
| 240 | 51 |
| 290 | 57 |
| 340 | 63 |
| 390 | 69 |
| 450 | 75 |
| 510 | 81 |
Each Sleep Style Dex goal has an expanded max cooking pot limit. Starting from when you first unlock the ability to expand the cooking pot at 35 Sleep Styles, you can expand your cooking pot twice per Sleep Style Dex goal by using Dream Shards. Each expansion increases the cooking pot limit by 3.
Take note that this is just the maximum limit for permanent cooking pot expansions. The cooking pot can have increased capacity temporarily through the Cooking Power-Up skill, Good Camp Set, or the Sunday end-of-week bonus.
All Sleep Style Dex Goals, Unlocks, and Rewards
Other Pokemon Sleep Max Limits
| Feature | Max Limit |
|---|---|
| Area Bonus | 85% |
| Research Community Friends | 50 |
| Research Reports | 50 |
| Research Community Closeness | 5 |
Max Area Bonus
Capped at 85% Per Area
Each research area has an area bonus cap of 85%, but this is only achievable once you’ve reached the 510 Sleep Style Dex goal. The max limit is reduced for lower Dex goals and increases by 5% for each new goal.
After completing a week on an island, you get a +5% area bonus for your next stay on that island. Area bonuses received after reaching the max limit in an island will go to a different island that hasn't yet reached the cap.
Max Research Community Friends
Capped at 50
You can only have a maximum of 50 friends in your Research Community. Once you've reached this limit, other people can no longer add you to their Research Community even if they know your Researcher ID.
Having a Research Community allows you to obtain Pokemon Candies as well as items. If you're interested in adding more friends, check out our Research Community Friend Code Request Board or the Game8 Pokemon Discord.
How to Add Friends and Benefits
Max Research Reports
Capped at 50 Per Day
You can receive up to 50 research reports from your Research Community per day. This is enough to accommodate one report per friend per day if you have the maximum number of friends in your community.
Each research report rewards you with Pokemon Candy when you open your Research Community menu, which means you can receive over 50 Pokemon Candies per day without even doing a sleep session.
Research Community Friend Code Request Board
Max Research Community Closeness Level
Capped at 5
At the moment, you can only reach up to a level 5 closeness level with your Research Community friends. Reaching this level rewards you with two Handy Candy S.
This maximum closeness level will likely be increased in the future, though getting to level 5 closeness with 50 friends does already shower you with a lot of rewards.

When will they finally increase the max research rank? I've been stuck at 60 for ages and I'm honestly about to quit. I don't care about new sounds that are included in every upgrade just please for the love of God address the max research rank limit.
