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 categorized solely as Dark types, as dual typing isn't a feature here.

Additionally, both Sneasel and Weavile are available on the starter island, Greengrass Isle. This means that all players have the opportunity to study these new additions, even if they haven't yet unlocked Snowdrop Tundra.

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 appear.

Sneasel and Weavile Sleep Types in Pokemon Sleep

Both Sneasel and its evolved form, Weavile, fall under the Dozing sleep type. This means they are more likely to appear on Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle if you have a Dozing sleep type for the night.

As the first evolution, Sneasel will be easier to encounter during Sleep Research. To evolve it into Weavile, you'll need 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw item. However, you'll still need to encounter Weavile in the wild to gather more Sleep Research data.
