Pokemon Sleep adds Rufflet and Braviary to your dreamy encounters this January

Author : Andrew Feb 25,2025

Get ready for some avian additions to your Pokémon Sleep roster! Starting January 20th, Rufflet and Braviary are soaring into the game. This update from The Pokémon Company also includes a Skill Boost week and increased encounter rates for select Pokémon.

The new Flying-type Pokémon, Rufflet and Braviary, will have increased appearance rates in Greengrass Isle, Cyan Beach, and Snowdrop Tundra starting January 20th. Use your Pokémon Incense to maximize your chances of encountering them.

From January 20th to 27th, Pokémon Sleep will host a "Super Skill Week." This event boosts the effectiveness of your Pokémon's skills, especially those with the "Skills" specialty. Helper Pokémon with this specialty will have a 1.5x increased chance of activating their main skill, which will then receive a 3x boost.

This update also increases the appearance rate of several other Pokémon, including Meowth, Eevee, Psyduck, Drifloon, Growlithe, Mimikyu, Slowpoke, Togepi, Magnemite, Ralts, and more.
