The primary aim of Pokemon Sleep is for players to have a proper sleeping schedule. It also provides initiative for those who have trouble falling asleep. Pokemon Sleep's progression system is based on the type of sleep that players get during the night. The more they sleep, the higher their Drowsy Score is, which is required to attract new types of Pokemon.
Another way to increase the Drowsy Score is by improving Snorlax's strength over the course of a week. To do so, players have to cook three meals for the Pokemon and feed it berries. Both of these methods require players to set up a team of five Pokemon who collect berries and ingredients for cooking. These are called Helper Pokemon, and picking the right one can significantly boost the rate of growth.
How To Select Helper Pokemon
Each Pokemon has one of the three specialties: berries, ingredients, or skills. Players need to pick a good balance of all three types, as prioritizing only one could lead to a lack of ingredients or berries. It is also important to check the nature of a Pokemon, as it can boost different attributes.
The Main Skill and Sub Skills play pivotal roles in selecting the Helper Pokemon. Initially, it is better to pick Pokemon with Charge Strength. After a certain period of time, clicking on these Pokemon can increase Snorlax's strength by anywhere between 200 and 800. There are certain Pokemon, like Pikachu and Pichu, that increase Snorlax's strength by a fixed amount.
A Pokemon with Skill Level Up or Skill Trigger Sub Skill can make things even easier. The first one increases the Main Skill's level. While the latter increases the frequency at which the Main Skill is launched. Unlocking these Sub Skills, especially on a Pokemon with Charge Strength, can be highly beneficial.
Best Helper Pokemon For Beginners
There are over 100 Pokemon in the game, but not all of them have the same usefulness. To make things less complicated, these are some of the best Pokemon for beginners:
- Pikachu: Good at gathering berries and has Charge Strength S.
- Charmander: Expert in gathering ingredients. It becomes even better with the Inventory Up, Helping Speed, and Skill Trigger Sub Skills.
- Totodile: Specializes in getting Berries, and it also has Charge Strength S.
- Igglybuff: Main Skill is Energy For Everyone S. This allows it to restore 5 Energy to every Helper Pokemon on the team. This can prove to be useful when players can't sleep and don't want to use items to recover Energy.
- Meowth: Has Dream Shard Magnet S as its Main Skill, and it can get 88 Dream Shards on activation.
- Ghastly: An expert at getting ingredients, and it also has Charged Strength S as its Main Skill.
- Swablu: Excels at collecting berries and has Charge Energy S, which enables it to recover 12 Energy.
While these Pokemon are definitely among the best picks, players should not hesitate to experiment with their teams.
