Prepare to Rest Your Very Best! Preregistration Begins for Pokémon Sleep

Bellevue, Wash. — July 6, 2023 — The Pokémon Company International announced today that preregistration has started for Pokémon Sleep, the sleep tracker app that turns sleep into entertainment, on Google Play for Android mobile devices.

How to Play Pokémon Sleep

To play Pokémon Sleep, players place their smartphone device or Pokémon GO Plus + by their pillow and go to sleep[1]. When they wake up, they can check the results of the sleep tracking, study the sleep styles of the Pokémon that have appeared, and work together with Pokémon sleep researcher Professor Neroli to record them in the Sleep Style Dex. The more sleep players get, and the bigger Snorlax becomes, the more Pokémon they can meet, and the more sleep styles they’ll be able to discover. Players can also raise Snorlax during the day.

The Three Sleep Types

Pokémon Sleep categorizes sleep into three types: Dozing, Snoozing, and Slumbering. Pokémon whose sleeping pattern matches the player’s sleep type will gather around Snorlax. After players have studied the sleep styles of the gathered Pokémon, they can give Pokémon Poké Biscuits. This will make them friendlier, and they’ll become able to join players as helper Pokémon.

Gather Drowsy Power and Raise Snorlax

In Pokémon Sleep, players will be assigned a “sleep score” based on how long they’ve slept. Players get 100 points when they sleep for at least 8.5 hours. The longer players sleep, the greater Snorlax’s Drowsy Power will become, which in turn determines how many Pokémon gather each time they wake up.

During the day, the player’s helper Pokémon will gather Berries to give to Snorlax, and can activate skills to support them in raising Snorlax. Helper Pokémon can gather Berries even during times of the day when Pokémon Sleep is not being played.

New Research Begins Every Monday

Every Monday, players will choose a new site to move to and encounter a new Snorlax to raise there. This begins a new week of sleep research. The Pokémon encountered will differ depending on the area players are in. More Pokémon may come to sleep on the weekends, and there may even be rarer species than usual!

Share Sleep Research with Friends in the Research Community

Players can register another player as a friend to share their sleep duration and sleep type with them, as well as information like the number of sleep styles studied and the Pokémon in their helper teams. Players can also get rewards for reviewing their friends’ sleep research.

Learn More about the Pokémon GO Plus + Device

Inside the Pokémon GO Plus + device, there’s a nightcap-wearing Pikachu that players can meet in Pokémon Sleep when their Pokémon GO Plus + device is paired with Pokémon Sleep.

Usually, players build teams of five from the Pokémon they meet in Pokémon Sleep, but the nightcap-wearing Pikachu can fill in as a sixth team member!

If players connect their Pokémon GO Plus + device to Pokémon GO and spin PokéStops, their Pokémon GO Plus + device will keep a record of it and give them Berries when it is connected to Pokémon Sleep.

[1]Don’t place your device under your pillow or blankets, as it may overheat.

Inteleon is ready to take aim, when it joins Pokémon UNITE on July 4th, 2023! Inteleon is a Ranged Attacker with great movement, allowing it to get into the perfect position to take out the competition.

The Secret Agent Pokémon, Inteleon, Is Now Available in Pokémon UNITE

Be careful not to blow your cover as you take aim with this Ranged Attacker from the Galar region.

Stealth into battle and strike when the time is right with Inteleon in Pokémon UNITE! Inteleon begins each match as the sensitive Sobble before evolving into the dreary Drizzile and finally the suave Inteleon. The Secret Agent Pokémon is renowned for its sneaky tactics, slippery moves, and powerful water-shooting fingertips, and it harnesses those strengths as a sharp-eyed Ranged Attacker on Aeos Island. You can obtain Inteleon for 13,000 Aeos coins or 575 Aeos gems at the Unite Battle Committee shop. Inteleon will only be obtainable with Aeos gems for the first seven days of its release.

Read on to learn more about everything the Secret Agent Pokémon has to offer before taking aim on Aeos Island.

Inteleon Basics - Ability: Sniper

The Pokémon deals increased damage to opposing Pokémon when it lands a critical hit. When the Pokémon is near a wall, it becomes camouflaged, and opposing Pokémon are unable to target it. The Pokémon gains one critical counter whenever a set amount of time passes while camouflaged (up to a maximum of 3 counters). When a critical counter is consumed, this Pokémon’s next basic attack or move that has a set chance of becoming a critical hit is guaranteed to be a critical hit.

Basic Attacks

The Pokémon’s basic attack becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, dealing increased damage with an increased critical-hit rate.

Lv. 1 & 3 Moves

Tearful Look - Sobble decreases the Attack and Sp. Atk of the designated opposing Pokémon and increases its own movement speed for a short time.
Water Gun - Sobble squirts water, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits. Water Gun has a set chance of becoming a critical hit.

Lv. 5 Moves

Fell Stinger - Drizzile fires a sharp stinger in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits. If the stinger hits a wall, Drizzile moves to the point the stinger hit, and Fell Stinger’s cooldown is reduced. If the stinger hits an opposing Pokémon or a wall, Drizzile gains one critical counter. Fell Stinger can be upgraded to reduce its cooldown.
Acrobatics - Drizzile glides in the designated direction, and if it hits an opposing Pokémon or wall, it can glide in a designated direction again. If Drizzile hits an opposing Pokémon while gliding, it deals damage to the opposing Pokémon and decreases its movement speed. Every time Acrobatics is used, Drizzile gains one critical counter. Acrobatics can also be used while attacking with Liquidation. Acrobatics can be upgraded to increase the first glide’s travel distance.

Lv. 7 Moves

Snipe Shot - Inteleon aims in the designated direction for a set amount of time and then fires a water projectile, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits while partially ignoring their Sp. Def. The farther away Inteleon is from the opposing Pokémon it hits, the more damage Snipe Shot does. Snipe Shot has a set chance of becoming a critical hit. A maximum of three uses can be kept in reserve for Snipe Shot, and Snipe Shot can be upgraded to decrease the time it takes to store one of its uses.
Liquidation - Inteleon continually fires water projectiles from both hands, dealing damage to the designated opposing Pokémon it hits. If Liquidation hits 5 times within a short period of time, damage the opposing Pokémon takes from the Inteleon’s attacks will be increased for a short time. Liquidation has a set chance of becoming a critical hit. Liquidation can also be used while moving via Acrobatics. Liquidation can be upgraded to increase the number of water projectiles fired.

Inteleon’s Unite Move, Azure Spy Vision

For a short time, Inteleon can see nearby Pokémon that are in stealth or hiding in tall grass. Also, Inteleon’s critical-hit rate is doubled, and it gains one critical counter whenever a set amount of time passes.

Metagame Watch

Strong Against: Scizor - Scizor is one of the bulkiest Melee All-Rounders in Pokémon UNITE, but without Double Hit, it can struggle to stick to its target. Inteleon’s Fell Stinger and Acrobatics are both strong moves that allow Inteleon to not only escape from Scizor and its Bullet Punch but also to reposition and retaliate with Liquidation. Since Inteleon’s Sniper Ability almost guarantees a flurry of critical hits against its enemy, Scizor can also struggle to restore enough HP with Bullet Punch to stay in the fight.
Weak Against: Dodrio - While Ranged Attackers love keeping their distance and dealing damage over time, Speedsters love the opposite—launching into battle and ending it in a flash. Dodrio is currently one of the strongest Speedsters in Pokémon UNITE, and it has both the damage and movement speed to catch up with Inteleon and knock it out quickly. Dodrio’s Agility and boosted attack make the Triple Bird Pokémon’s job quite the threat, so it’s best to avoid picking a fight with one without a Defender by your side.

Mega Rayquaza arrives in Pokémon GO!

Trainers,
The clouds are parting as a massive Pokémon descends from the sky—that’s right, none other than Mega Rayquaza, the Sky High Pokémon, will be making its Pokémon GO debut at Pokémon GO Fest 2023!

Trainers will be able to encounter Mega Rayquaza first at the in-person GO Fest 2023 events in London, Osaka, and New York City. Mega Rayquaza will then make its worldwide debut during Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Global!

This powerful Pokémon must meet a special condition before it can Mega Evolve. Read on to learn more about how to encounter Mega Rayquaza and unlock its mighty power for your own!

A meteoric Evolution!

Unlike other Mega-Evolving Pokémon, Rayquaza can’t Mega Evolve with Mega Energy alone. Trainers hoping to Mega Evolve their Rayquaza will need to teach it the Charged Attack Dragon Ascent first!

Dragon Ascent can only be learned by using a new item: Meteorites!

A special item for a special Charged Attack

Meteorites have been discovered in Pokémon GO, and it seems like they have some connection to Rayquaza—use one to help Rayquaza’s power ascend to new heights!

You’ll be able to use a Meteorite to teach the Charged Attack Dragon Ascent to Rayquaza. You can collect Meteorites by completing certain research tasks during GO Fest 2023.

New bonuses

While attacking with Mega Rayquaza in a Raid Battle or a Gym battle, the attacks of other Trainers’ Pokémon challenging that same raid or Gym will deal more damage. Their Pokémon’s attacks will deal even more damage if the attack is Flying-, Psychic-, or Dragon-type.

When Rayquaza is Mega Evolved, catching Flying-, Psychic-, or Dragon-type Pokémon will grant you additional XP, additional Candy, and an increased chance of earning Candy XL.

Like other Mega-Evolved Pokémon, Rayquaza’s Mega Level will increase the more times it Mega Evolves, improving these bonuses.

Pokémon GO Fest 2023 in-person events

Mega Rayquaza will first debut in raids during the in-person Pokémon GO Fest 2023 events hosted in London, Osaka, and New York City!

Mega Rayquaza raids will appear throughout each host city during event hours. While anyone can challenge Mega Rayquaza in raids, only ticket-holding Trainers will earn Mega Energy for doing so.

Ticket-holding event attendees can also work to complete an event-exclusive Special Research story as they explore the host city, learning more about how this Mega Evolution works and earning rewards such as Meteorites.*

*Meteorites, the ability to teach Rayquaza the Charged Attack Dragon Ascent, and the ability to Mega Evolve Rayquaza are limited to ticket-holding Trainers during the Pokémon GO Fest 2023 live events in London, Osaka, and New York City. Trainers without a live event ticket will have the opportunity to do these things during Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Global.

Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Global

All Trainers will be able to harness the power of Mega Rayquaza during its global debut in raids on Sunday, August 27, 2023, during Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Global!

All Trainers who log in during event hours on Sunday, August 27, 2023, will receive a short Special Research story that grants a Meteorite when completed. Those who choose to upgrade their Pokémon GO Fest experience with an event ticket will receive an extended Special Research story that awards an additional Meteorite and other rewards!

Explore Mossui Town in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask

In Part 1: The Teal Mask, players will head to Mossui Town in the land of Kitakami. The community center in the middle of Mossui Town is a public gathering place where the locals can get together and chat, but it will also serve as the players' base of operations for the duration of the school trip. There’s a shop nearby with toys and magazines on display, and just outside town, you’ll be treated to a view of picturesque fields and rice paddies.

Investigate Four Unique Biomes in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk

Blueberry Academy, where players will go to study abroad in Part 2: The Indigo Disk, is home to a facility called the Terarium Dome, which maintains a variety of ecosystems that provide a livable environment for Pokémon. This world-renowned park beneath the sea was constructed to bolster the learning environment for strong Trainers. The Terarium Dome is made up of four areas, each of which features a unique climate and ecosystem. The artificial sky projected onto the ceiling and walls changes to reflect the time of day and weather. The temperature of each area is also carefully regulated, and Trainers will find completely different Pokémon in each area.

New Characters Revealed

Players will meet plenty of new people while studying abroad at Blueberry Academy. Among them are Cyrano—the founder and director of the academy—and Lacey, a student there.


Having heard rumors about the player and their adventures, Cyrano visits Paldea to invite them to his institution as an exchange student. It seems that he is a longtime acquaintance of Director Clavell.

Lacey is a second-year student at Blueberry Academy. She’s a reliable person who shows the player around the academy when they first arrive. Her Pokémon battling skills are apparently nothing to scoff at.

Discover Different Pokémon Depending on the Version of the Game Being Played

The Pokémon players will meet in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero will differ depending on which game the downloadable content is for. For example, in Pokémon Scarlet, players will be able to encounter Gligar, while in Pokémon Violet, players will be able to encounter Aipom.
