Where Can You Get Sneasel and Weavile in Pokemon Sleep?
As their mainline series dual Ice and Dark typing might suggest, Sneasel and Weavile can be found at Snowdrop Tundra in *Pokémon Sleep.* However, in this game, they are classified solely as Dark types, as dual typing isn't supported.
For those who haven't yet unlocked Snowdrop Tundra, don't worry—Sneasel and Weavile are also available on the starter island, Greengrass Isle. This means all players have a chance to study these newcomers right from the start.
If you've chosen a different island for the week but are eager to encounter these new Pokémon, you can use the EZ Travel Ticket item to switch your research to either Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle, where Sneasel and Weavile will appear.
Sneasel and Weavile Sleep Types in Pokemon Sleep
As the first evolution, Sneasel is likely easier to encounter during Sleep Research. To evolve it into Weavile, you'll need 80 Sneasel Candy and the Razor Claw item. However, to gather Sleep Research data on Weavile, you'll still need to encounter it in the wild.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can expect when adding Sneasel or Weavile to your helper team in *Pokémon Sleep.*

Based on its stats, Sneasel seems primarily useful for berry gathering, though it also enhances your dishes with an Extra Tasty boost.

Sneasel Debut Bundle in Pokemon Sleep
The Pokémon Befriending Bundle (Sneasel) Vol. 1 is available in the *Pokémon Sleep* store starting on December 3 and will be available until December 9, 2024. You can find it in the General Store for 1,500 Gems.
The bundle includes several biscuits to help you befriend Pokémon, along with 2 Sneasel Incense and 60 Sneasel Candy.
The Incense guarantees that one Sneasel will appear during your Sleep Research and can only be used on islands where the Pokémon normally appears. So, if you're determined to get one right away, this bundle is your ticket to success.
*Pokémon GO is available on iOS and Android.*
