The Pokémon Company has introduced an exciting new update for *Pokémon Sleep*, introducing Rufflet and Braviary to the game. As a dedicated sleep researcher, you'll be thrilled to know that these two Flying-type Pokémon will be making more frequent appearances starting January 20th.

With this latest update, you can enhance your experience by using Pokémon Incense to encounter Rufflet and Braviary in Greengrass Isle, Cyan Beach, and Snowdrop Tundra. Additionally, during the Super Skill Week, which runs until January 27th, you have the opportunity to boost your Pokémon's special abilities across all areas, making it a perfect time to maximize your team's performance.

This update also increases the encounter rate for Pokémon with the Skills specialty, and the Mini Candy Boost will be available for a limited time to aid your progress. Helper Pokémon with the Skills specialty will have a 1.5x chance of triggering their main skill, and once activated, the main skills will receive a 3x boost.
