Shuckle makes its Pokémon Sleep debut in the Super Skill Week Part 3 event commencing January 19th

Shuckle will be sleepwalking its way onto player's devices later this month, making its Pokémon Sleep debut in the Super Skill Week Part 3 event. This event is scheduled to begin on January 19th at 4:00am local time, running through to January 26th at 3:59am local time.

As with previous Super Skill Week events, this latest event will allow Researchers to participate and gain bonuses regardless of where they conduct their sleep research, with the following bonuses active throughout the event period:
  • Helper Pokémon's main skills are ×1.5 more likely to be triggered
  • Main skill levels of helper Pokémon with the Skills specialty will be boosted by 3 levels on triggering
  • Researchers can encounter a few Pokémon of different sleep types regardless of their own sleep type for the day.
  • Researchers will have access to the limited-time Mini Candy Boost Function
    • This event-limited function will give Pokémon 2× the effect from candies, at a cost of using 4× times the amount of Dream Shards per candy.
    • Mini Candy Boost can be used with up to 50 candies per day
Shuckle makes their Pokémon Sleep debut alongside the start of this event, from Monday January 19th at 3:00pm (UTC). Players who are in the middle of Sleep Research at the time it debuts should have a chance of seeing it when they complete their sleep.

As with other Bug-type Pokémon, Shuckle collects Lum Berries. Shuckle has the Dozing sleep type, which corresponds to the "awake" or "light sleep" phase of a sleep cycle. Its Main Skill will be Berry Juice (Energy for Everyone S), which restores some Energy to all helper Pokémon on your team, and will occasionally also grant a Berry Juice. Berry Juice function similarly o the Energy Pillow, but will only restore 20 Energy to a single helper Pokémon. Sleep Researchers will be able to hold up to a maximum of 5 Berry Juice in their bags.

Shuckle will appear at Greengrass Isle, Cyan Beach, Taupe Hollow, Amber Canyon, and Greengrass Isle (Expert).

Shuckle Incense items will be able to be used from the instant the Pokémon goes live. As with previous Pokémon debuts, it's likely that Shuckle Incense will become available in special bundles available for purchase in-game before this event commences.

  • Event bonuses for this event apply regardless of which site players conduct their sleep research in.
  • Event bonuses apply only for sleep tracking that begins within the event period, and do not apply to sleep tracking during the tutorial, or to sleep data tracked before the event, even if the researcher waits to review their sleep research after the event has started.
  • The Mini Candy Boost function will only be available during this event. While Mini Candy Boost may be unlocked in another event in future, the amount of EXP gained, the Dream Shard consumption, and/or the number of candies that may be used in one day may be different in future events.
  • Sleep data tracked during the event will receive event bonuses, regardless of if the researcher waits to review their sleep research until after the event has concluded.
  • Event bonuses cannot raise main skill levels beyond the max main skill level.
