How To Get Sneasel and Weavile in Pokemon Sleep

Author: Aaron Jan 31,2025

New Pokémon Sleep Companions: Sneasel and Weavile!

Pokémon Sleep players have a treat! As of December 3rd, 2024, Sneasel and Weavile are available to befriend. This guide explains how.

Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile

Given their Ice/Dark typing in the main series, you might expect to find them in a snowy location. In Pokémon Sleep, however, they're Dark-type Pokémon. You can find them in two places:

  • Snowdrop Tundra: Their primary habitat.
  • Greengrass Isle: Accessible to all players, even those who haven't unlocked Snowdrop Tundra.

Use an EZ Travel Ticket to change your research island if needed.

Sleep Types

Both Sneasel and Weavile are Dozing-type Pokémon. To increase your chances of encountering them, ensure your sleep type for the night is also Dozing. Sneasel is easier to find initially; evolve it to Weavile using 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw. You'll still need to find Weavile in the wild for Sleep Research data.

Are They Good Additions?

Sneasel's value lies in its ability to gather Wiki Berries, especially beneficial in Snowdrop Tundra. It also provides a Tasty Chance S boost to your dishes. Its ingredient requirements include sought-after items, making a well-equipped Sneasel a valuable team member.
