Pokémon Sleep will add a new feature, Snorlax's Nap Island, on July 20 at 11:00. Players can leave one helper Pokémon on the island with Snorlax, where it gains 150 EXP per day, growing upon retrieval. A full 7-day stay is required for maximum EXP; early retrieval halves the gain. A Nap Relaxation Ticket increases daily EXP by 450. Snorlax also collects items like Dream Shards and Pokémon Candy.
Pokémon Sleep is introducing a new mode that lets players leave one helper Pokémon on a small island with Snorlax, where it will accumulate EXP passively. The feature, called Snorlax's Nap Island, launches on July 20 at 11:00 and requires unlocking by collecting 35 sleep styles. Once unlocked, a signboard on the home screen allows players to send a Pokémon to the island and retrieve it later.
While on Nap Island, the Pokémon gains 1 EXP per minute, up to 150 per day. The EXP is applied all at once when the Pokémon is brought back, but only if it stays for the full seven days. Retrieving earlier cuts the gain in half. After seven days, the stay can continue indefinitely, and EXP continues to accumulate. A new item, the Nap Relaxation Ticket, rents a Relaxation Set for seven days, adding 450 bonus EXP per day during that period.
Snorlax itself will gather items while the Pokémon is away, collecting Dream Shards and Pokémon Candy into an Item Collection Box. Those items can be claimed as a gift from Snorlax when the player retrieves their Pokémon. The official website has full details on the feature.
