Pokemon Sleep Adding Popular Generation 2 Legendary

Pokemon Sleep is adding Generation 2 legendary Pokemon Entei to its collection of pocket monsters that players can capture with a good night’s sleep. The addition of this new creature to Pokemon Sleep’s lineup provides players with even more incentives to go to bed, as the entire goal of this mobile app is to track its users’ sleep data and reward them with charming snoozing Pokemon.

By just placing their smartphone at their bedside every night, Pokemon Sleep players can receive a report of how well they slept and get rewards based on their sleep style. Depending on how long they slept, Pokemon Sleep users attract pocket monsters that sleep in similar ways – whether Dozing, Snoozing, or Slumbering. Despite initial concerns regarding Pokemon Sleep‘s use of sleep data and potential risks of fire hazards due to players leaving their smartphones by their pillows, Pokemon Sleep found its audience and regularly provides players with new updates and creatures to capture.

Pokemon Sleep Warns Against Cheating, Confuses Players

Pokemon Sleep sends out a notice that warns against cheating while tracking sleep, which confuses many avid users of the app.

In a short video, The Pokemon Company announced that Entei, the massive fire-type Legendary Pokemon introduced in Generation 2, will be joining Pokemon Sleep in late May 2024. In this video, Entei leaves an erupting volcano where Charmander and Charmeleon are peacefully sleeping to take a nap on the carpet of a Pokemon Sleep user. Upon waking up, the Pokemon Sleep player is not only greeted by their friendly Growlithe, but also by a snoozing Entei that breathes fire.

How to get Entei in Pokemon Sleep

Entei will join Pokemon Sleep during the Entei Research event that will begin in late May 2024. Players will be able to exchange Entei mane that they collect during the event for Entei Incense, which they can use to research Entei’s various sleep styles. To complete this event and gather intel about the Legendary Pokemon from Generation 2, Fire-type helper Pokemon will be particularly effective during the Entei Research event. The Pokemon Company suggests raising Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Growlithe, Arcanine, Flareon, Cyndaquil, Quilava, or Typhlosion to get ready for the upcoming Pokemon Sleep event.

Entei will join the roster of over 100 creatures already available in Pokemon Sleep, each with their various sleep styles. While some Pokemon are easy to obtain, others have a lower rate of appearance or require players to reach high ranks or gather enough friendship points. The rarest creatures in Pokemon Sleep have their own perks and can help players gather useful ingredients to create dishes for their Snorlax, Pokemon Sleep’s starting companion.
