The Good Sleep Day Event Details
AsPokemon Sleep’s first in-game challenge,Good Sleep Day is a full-moon-themed event. During this occurrence, the Sleeping Snorlax will consume the full moon’s energy tomaximize its Drowsy Powerand lure more Pokemon.
The concept for this event is based on research that links sleep deficiency to the full moon. Essentially,Pokemon Sleepwants to help players achieve a good night’s sleep by motivating them toobtain higher Sleep Scores.
While the exact date for the Good Sleep Day event hasn’t been announced, it’ll most likely happen during the next full moon night on August 30—as it would be a thematic start.
Players should note that sincePokemon Sleephas no competitive aspects, events like Good Sleep Day will only boost certain aspects of the game, such as gathering resources, catching Pokemon, orleveling up Helpers.
Possible Dates for the Good Sleep Day Event
As confirmed by Pokemon Company during the August 8 Pokemon Presents, the Good Sleep Day event will take place once per month during the moon’s actual full phase. Based on that, the following are possible dates for thisthematic event in 2023.
How to Get into the Full Moon Event in Pokemon Sleep
Good Sleep Day isa free-for-all event. Like Community Days inPokemon GO, Good Sleep Day will affect the spawn rates during the full moon’s night for all players worldwide. So, players will not need to take any specific action to participate.
However, it would be a good idea to prepare for the event by increasing Snorlax’s Drowsy Power before the full moon night. A Snorlax with a higher rating will become even stronger with the Good Sleep Day boost anddraw more Pokemon to the research camp.
