Pokémon Sleep – Ver. 1.10.0
- Release date: July 31st 2024 (North America) / August 1st 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
- Platforms: Android / iOS
- Patch notes:
New Features
- Preparations for future events
- Addition of a new feature: Good-Night Ribbon
- Helper Pokémon can get Good-Night Ribbons based on the amount of sleeping time you’ve shared.
- Getting a Good-Night Ribbon will raise some of a Pokémon’s helping stats.
- The effects the ribbon has on stats depend on which of the four levels of Good-Night Ribbon it is, and these levels are unlocked based on the amount of sleeping time shared with that helper Pokémon.
- Ribbon level 1: 200 hours of sleeping time shared
- Carry limit +1
- Ribbon level 2: 500 hours of sleeping time shared
- Carry limit +2
- If the Pokémon can still evolve once (example: Pikachu), its helping frequency is shortened by 5%
- If the Pokémon can still evolve twice (example: Pichu), its helping frequency is shortened by 11%
- Ribbon level 3: 1,000 hours of sleeping time shared
- Carry limit +3
- Special profile icon of that helper Pokémon
- Ribbon level 4: 2,000 hours of sleeping time shared
- Carry limit +2
- If the Pokémon can still evolve once (example: Pikachu), its helping frequency is shortened by 7% (for a total of 12% shorter)
- If the Pokémon can still evolve twice (example: Pichu), its helping frequency is shortened by 14% (for a total of 25% shorter)
- Note: Each level’s effects will be added as you unlock them.
- Example: If you unlock ribbon level 2 with Pichu (a Pokémon that can still evolve twice), you’ll get the effects of ribbon level 2 in addition to the effects of ribbon level 1.
- Therefore, that particular Pokémon will get three effects from the ribbon: +1 to its carry limit from the ribbon level 1 bonus, plus an additional +2 to its carry limit and 11% shorter helping frequency from the ribbon level 2 bonus.
Game Contents
- Adjustment that allows helper Pokémon with the Skills specialty to bank main skill uses
- Until now, for all helper Pokémon, a main skill would not trigger again until it has been used once.
- After this adjustment, Pokémon with the Skills specialty will be able to bank up to two uses of their main skill.
- Notes: After this adjustment, when you tap on a helper Pokémon with a magnifying glass over its head on the home screen, if the Pokémon has the Skill specialty, it will sometimes use its main skill twice at one time.
- Pokémon that don’t have the Skills specialty can only bank one use of their main skill.
- You can see your helper Pokémon’s specialty in the upper right of the Pokémon’s details screen (from the home screen, tap Pokémon, then Pokémon Box, then tap on an individual Pokémon).
- Rewards when you’ve reached the max area bonus
- If you’ve reached the max area bonus, your 5% area bonus increase will be automatically divided and distributed across other areas.Example: If you have reached the max area bonus for Greengrass Isle and have the areas up to Snowdrop Tundra unlocked, the 5% area bonus increase that would normally go to Greengrass Isle will be shared amongst Cyan Beach (+2%), Taupe Hollow (+2%), and Snowdrop Tundra (+1%).

Bug Fixes
- Fixes to a bug that caused helper Pokémon not to use Energy during sleep tracking
- Up until now, due to a calculation bug related to Energy consumption, helper Pokémon were not using Energy for Sneaky Snacking and help that occurred during sleep tracking.
- In the future, helper Pokémon will use Energy for help and Sneaky Snacking during sleep tracking, so your Snorlax may gain less Strength from Sneaky Snacking during sleep tracking than it did before.
- This issue has been recognized as a bug for some time now, but because it did not cause any disadvantages for players, we prioritized other bug fixes and new feature development.
- However, based on the following reasons, it has become more vital that we fix this bug, and so we are taking this opportunity to fix it.
- Some players being able to accelerate progress through the game considerably faster than intended by the developer (for example by performing certain actions during sleep tracking, they have been able to get help for a whole day without their helper Pokémon using up any Energy).
- Snorlax gaining more Strength on days when the player tracked sleep twice than on days when the player tracked sleep only once.
- Energy will still be restored as usual when sleep tracking finishes, so helper Pokémon should generally not have less Energy when you wake up in the morning than they did before you started sleep tracking.
- Fixes to a bug that gave one extra helping’s worth of Berries during Sneaky Snacking
- Fixes to a bug that allowed for cooking four or more times a day when certain actions were performed
- Fixes to a bug that made it easier for main skills to be triggered when certain actions were performed
- Fixes to a bug that caused sleep tracking that was “reviewed later” not to be reflected in the weekly summary
- Fixes to a bug that caused the Energy restored by Energy Pillows to cap at 100% in some cases
- Fixes to a bug that caused the notification mark (a red circle) to continue displaying on the Shops icon on the home screen during the weekly turnover even after obtaining the Daily Gift
- Fixes to a bug that caused the Shiny appearance of Pokémon that had been evolved twice not to appear in the Sleep Style Dex in some cases
- Fixes to a bug that caused the “Choose Next Research Site” button on the home screen during the weekly rollover not to work when the device’s language was set to Turkish
Other News
- About the Helper Whistle Effects
- For purposes of the Helper Whistle, each Pokémon’s helping frequency is currently based on the value found here: Pokémon Box > Pokémon details screen > Frequency. It is calculated based on the Pokémon’s status at max Energy.
- Because of this, when a Helper Whistle is used now:
- The effects of sub skill Helping Bonus are not reflected.
- The effects of a Good Camp Ticket are not applied.
The following changes are planned for an update around the end of February:
- A display will be implemented on the Edit Teams screen to show the helping frequency with the effects of Helping Bonus reflected, and when a Helper Whistle is used, this value will be used.
- The description text for the Helper Whistle will be adjusted to give more detail.
