To make Pokémon Sleep easier to play, we plan to make the following additions and adjustments during an update in early August.
  • Adjustment that allows helper Pokémon with the Skills specialty to bank main skill uses
    Currently, for all helper Pokémon, a main skill will 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.
    Note: After this adjustment, when you tap on a Pokémon with a magnifying glass over its head on the home screen, if the Pokémon has the Skills 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 skills.
    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 on an individual Pokémon).
  • Adjustment to game function when you edit your team
    After the adjustment, whenever you change which Pokémon are on your team—even if you only change one Pokémon—any banked main skills that are ready to be used for any of the Pokémon on your team will be canceled.
    We are making this adjustment to prepare for a wide variety of main skills that we plan to implement in the future.
  • Addition of three-star sleep styles to the sleep styles that can be discovered on Greengrass Isle
    We plan to add some three-star Pokémon sleep styles to the sleep styles that can be seen during sleep research on Greengrass Isle.
  • Increase to Strength gains from certain dishes
    The Strength gains from some dishes that don’t require many ingredients will be increased slightly.
