Whooper and Quagsire join the rosterand will appear at most of the research sites in the game. Not only will they have a greater opportunity to appear, but so will the other Water-Type Pokemon in the game. This guide will give you all the information you need for a successful research week.

Mini-Candy Boost

This isn’t a new feature to Pokemon Sleep, but it is always welcomed when it makes its return. TheMini-Candy Boostallows you to decide when leveling up a Pokemon manually if you would like toincrease the power of the boostby paying extra dream shards.

While the event tells you that you should use this on your Water-type helper Pokemon, you can use thison any Pokemon in your Box. However, keep in mind that since this event is getting players ready to research and befriend Suicune,having your Water-Type Pokemon at higher levels is going to be the most beneficial.

If you already feel confident in the strength of your Water Pokemon, you can instead absolutely use the boost to level up your weaker Pokemon, your shiny Pokemon, or reach the level cap of an already high-leveled Pokemon.

Limited-Time Bundles

There arethree bundlesfor you to choose from in the general store. They follow a similar scheme to events in the past where they are all aimed at the same thing butcome in an S, M, and L size, of coursecosting more diamondsand giving the player more powerful items with each size increase.

Water Type Week Bundle Vol. 1 L

If you are looking to purchase, theS bundle is 250 diamonds, theM bundle is 600 diamonds, and theL bundle is 1,500 diamonds. You canbuy three of the S bundles, but only one each of the other bundles.

Good Sleep Day

This event alsooverlaps a Good Sleep Day event. As always, this gives yourSnorlax a boost to their Drowsy Power,increases the amount of EXPyour helper Pokemon receives, and grants youadditional Sleep Points.

The events happening simultaneously allow you totake advantage of both bonuses at the same time. So, if you are looking to use incense to complete one of your missions, you’ll want to usea Growth, Focus, or Luck incenseduring the three Good Sleep Days to get the most out of this opportunity.
