Exciting Updates in Pokémon Sleep: New Moon Day and Bundle Launch
Pokémon Sleep has been consistently expanding its offerings, providing players with fresh and engaging content. In this article, we’ll dive into the latest updates, including the introduction of the New Moon Day Bundle and the event details surrounding the New Moon Day festivities.
New Moon Day Bundle Vol. 1
As part of the New Moon Day celebrations, the New Moon Day Bundle Vol. 1 will be available for players to purchase. This special bundle is designed to enhance your experience during the event, providing valuable items that can help you build friendships with Pokémon. Since Pokémon tend to be more energetic and hungry during this time, this bundle is particularly beneficial.
Bundle Contents
The New Moon Day Bundle Vol. 1 will be priced at 1,200 diamonds and includes the following items:
- Ultra Biscuit ×1
- Great Biscuit ×3
- Poké Biscuit ×10
- Friend Incense ×3
Players can access this bundle starting from May 24, 2025, at 11:00 PM until May 29, 2025, at 10:59 PM. Note that each user can purchase only one bundle.
To utilize the Friend Incense, you can place it on the stump near your tent or through the pop-up menu that appears when you tap the Sleep button. This special incense guarantees that at least one random Pokémon will appear, and it will be particularly hungry, making it easier to befriend them.
New Moon Day Event Overview
The New Moon Day event is a monthly celebration that occurs over three days: on the day of the new moon and the two days surrounding it. This event is marked by unique gameplay mechanics, including special appearance rates for certain Pokémon and an increased challenge in feeding them to fullness. Players may even have the chance to encounter Shiny Pokémon during this event!
Event Schedule
The upcoming New Moon Day event will take place from May 26, 2025, at 4:00 AM to May 29, 2025, at 3:59 AM, with the actual new moon occurring on May 27, 2025. During this time, players can explore all areas in the game and take advantage of the special features.
Special Event Effects
Throughout the event, specific effects will be triggered in the applicable areas:
- Increased Pokémon Appearances: Certain Pokémon will have higher spawn rates during sleep research.
- Difficulty in Feeding: Pokémon will not fill up easily during the first snack time of the day, providing players a greater opportunity to feed them.
- Shiny Pokémon Encounters: Players may also encounter Shiny Pokémon, adding to the excitement of the event.
Featured Pokémon
Several Pokémon will have increased spawn rates during the New Moon Day event:
- Special Appearance Rate: Darkrai
- Greater Appearance Rate: Murkrow and Honchkrow
These Pokémon will be available in all areas, starting from May 26, 2025, at 3:00 PM. However, the increased appearance rates for Murkrow and Honchkrow will only be active during the first day of the New Moon Day event.
Darkrai Encounter Details
Darkrai will be a highlight of the New Moon Day festivities. Players can expect to encounter this elusive Pokémon during their first sleep research of the day. However, it is important to note that Darkrai will not appear during the second sleep research of the day. If players miss the opportunity to catch Darkrai during their initial session, their chances of encountering it during subsequent sleep research will gradually increase throughout the event.
Important Notes for Players
As you participate in the New Moon Day event, keep the following points in mind:
- Each day of the event resets at 4:00 AM, so players should plan accordingly.
- After the event concludes, Darkrai will no longer be available to encounter in any area.
- The same applies to Murkrow and Honchkrow, which will no longer appear outside of specific areas like Greengrass Isle, Snowdrop Tundra, or the Old Gold Power Plant.
- Players can utilize Murkrow Incense in any area until June 9, 2025.
- The event bonuses apply exclusively to sleep data collected during the event timeframe. If you report sleep data from before the event and select "Review Later," those bonuses won’t be applied.
- Event bonuses will trigger regardless of which area you conduct your sleep research, and if overlapping events provide multiple bonuses of the same type, only the higher one will take effect.
Exciting New Arrivals
In addition to the New Moon Day festivities, players have been reporting sightings of Pokémon that were previously unavailable in the game. This development might be a result of your ongoing sleep research efforts, and it could open the door to encountering new Pokémon soon.
New Pokémon
The following Pokémon will be making their debut:
- Murkrow – Dark Type
- Honchkrow – Dark Type
These new arrivals will start appearing on May 26, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Players can utilize Pokémon Incense for these newcomers starting from that date and time.
Appearance Locations
Players can expect to find Murkrow and Honchkrow at Greengrass Isle, Snowdrop Tundra, and Old Gold Power Plant during the New Moon Day event.
