Pokémon Sleep continues to evolve, bringing fresh content and exciting features to enhance the gaming experience. Players can look forward to new bundles and events that keep the gameplay engaging and rewarding. This article delves into the recent updates, focusing on the introduction of Murkrow and the special New Moon Day bundles, ensuring that fans stay informed and ready to make the most of their Pokémon Sleep experience.
Introducing the Pokémon Befriending Bundle Featuring Murkrow
Starting May 26, 2025, at 1:00 a.m., Pokémon Sleep will introduce the Pokémon Befriending Bundle (Murkrow) Vol. 1. This bundle is designed specifically for those eager to befriend and nurture Murkrow, a Dark-type Pokémon making its debut in the game. The bundle is filled with valuable items to assist players in their journey to connect with this new Pokémon.
The bundle includes:
- Great Biscuit ×7
- Poké Biscuit ×7
- Murkrow Incense ×2
- Murkrow Candy ×60
Players can purchase this bundle for 1,500 diamonds, with the note that each user is limited to one bundle. The Murkrow Incense will attract Murkrow during your next sleep research session, provided you set it up before you sleep. You can easily place the incense on the stump by your tent or through the pop-up that appears when you tap the Sleep button.
Event Availability
This exciting bundle will be available from May 26, 2025, at 1:00 a.m. until June 1, 2025, at 10:59 p.m. Be sure to grab yours before time runs out! Setting the incense will ensure that Murkrow appears in the areas where it is known to spawn, giving players an excellent chance to add this new Pokémon to their collection.
Celebrating New Moon Day with Special Bundles
In addition to the Murkrow bundle, Pokémon Sleep will also celebrate New Moon Day with its own special bundle. The New Moon Day Bundle Vol. 1 will be available starting May 24, 2025, at 11:00 p.m. This bundle is perfect for players looking to befriend Pokémon during this unique event when Pokémon tend to be more active and hungry.
The New Moon Day Bundle includes:
- Ultra Biscuit ×1
- Great Biscuit ×3
- Poké Biscuit ×10
- Friend Incense ×3
This bundle can be purchased for 1,200 diamonds, with one bundle available per user. The Friend Incense ensures that at least one random Pokémon will appear, particularly eager for treats. The availability of this bundle runs from May 24, 2025, at 11:00 p.m. to May 29, 2025, at 10:59 p.m.
Special New Moon Day Event Details
The New Moon Day event is a monthly occurrence that lasts three days — on the day of the new moon, as well as the days before and after. This month, the new moon falls on May 27, 2025. During this event, players will experience special rates for Pokémon appearances, and it will be more challenging for Pokémon to become full, offering a unique twist to the gameplay.
Event Period
- Dates: May 26, 2025, at 4:00 a.m. to May 29, 2025, at 3:59 a.m.
Event Features
During this event, certain Pokémon will appear more frequently during sleep research. Additionally, Pokémon will find it harder to become full during their first snack time of the day, creating a perfect opportunity for players to engage with them. Notably, players may even encounter Shiny Pokémon during this time!
Increased Appearance Rates
A few Pokémon will have increased appearance rates during the New Moon Day event, making this an exciting time for players. The highlighted Pokémon include:
- Darkrai – Special Appearance Rate
- Murkrow and Honchkrow – Greater Appearance Rate
These Pokémon will be available in all areas, providing players ample opportunities to catch them. However, it’s essential to note that Darkrai will only appear during the first sleep research of the day and not during the second session.
Understanding Pokémon Incense and Their Effects
Pokémon Incense is a critical part of the gameplay, as it emits a specific scent that attracts certain species of Pokémon. By using Murkrow Incense or Friend Incense, players can ensure that they encounter the Pokémon they desire more frequently.
Players can set up the incense at their tent stump or through the Sleep button pop-up. It’s recommended to utilize these incenses strategically to maximize your chances of catching rare Pokémon during events.
What to Expect After the Event
Once the New Moon Day event concludes, players won’t be able to encounter Darkrai in any area until the next event cycle. Similarly, Murkrow and Honchkrow will not appear outside specific areas like Greengrass Isle, Snowdrop Tundra, or the Old Gold Power Plant. However, you can continue using Murkrow Incense until June 9, 2025, allowing you to catch up on any missed opportunities.
New Pokémon Arrivals
With the onset of the new features, players have reported sightings of Pokémon not typically found in their areas, possibly due to the ongoing sleep research. Notable new arrivals include:
- Murkrow – Dark-type
- Honchkrow – Dark-type
These Pokémon will officially appear starting May 26, 2025, at 3:00 p.m., enhancing the excitement for players eager to expand their Pokédex.
Conclusion
Pokémon Sleep continues to enrich the gameplay experience with new content, bundles, and events. By participating in the upcoming events and utilizing the available bundles, players can maximize their chances of befriending new Pokémon like Murkrow and taking full advantage of the unique opportunities presented during the New Moon Day event. Stay tuned for more updates and continue to enjoy your sleep research adventures!
