Summary
Pokemon Sleephas a limited number of Pokemon, which is understandable considering the game is not too old. With time, the developers have added new Pokemon, including legendaries, to the game, giving players an opportunity to improve their collections.
Some of the Pokemon in the game are easy to obtain, and most of the time, players will be able to find them during their sleep research. However, there are some Pokemon that have a lower rate of appearance, or they require players to reach very high ranks on a specific island, or they require a lot of friendship points to befriend. These Pokemon are difficult to obtain and are therefore categorized as rare.
7Ditto
Can Gather Slowpoke Tails
Ditto is an interesting Pokemon that has over five sleep styles. The Normal-type Pokemon has the potential to becomeone of the best in the game. Ditto is one of the two Pokemon that can gather Slowpoke Tails, which is the strongest ingredient in Pokemon Sleep.
This ingredient is a must-have if players want to make the dishes with the highest power. Since Ditto can collect them, it automatically becomes an important Pokemon. To catch a Ditto, players will need to fill its 16-point friendship gauge.
6Pinsir
Great For Desert Weeks
Pinsir is a Bug-type Pokemon that is limited to Greengrass Isle and Cyan Beach. Itspecializes in collecting ingredients. Pinsir has a low base frequency, allowing it to gather items quickly. Pinsir can either get Fancy Apples, Honey, or Bean Sausage. The first two ingredients are heavily utilized in different dishes, so Pinsir can be used on many teams.
Pinsir needs 16 friendship points to be befriended, so the chances of getting one on the first try are rather low. Unless the Pokemon is hungry, in which case there is a chance that the biscuit can fill the gauge completely.
5Tyranitar
Amazing Ingredients Specialist
Tyranitar is one of the most loved Pokemon of all time. This Rock-type Pokemon is always part of debates revolving around the best Pokemon in any game, andPokemon Sleepis not an exception. Tyranitar evolves from Pupitar when it has reached level 41. It also requires players to have 100 candies.
Getting a Pokemon to level 41 isn’t easy, and it requires a lot of candies, and Dream Shards. Thankfully, it is possible to find a Tyranitar in the wild. This Pokemon can be found on Taupe Hollow, but it will only start showing up once players have reached Master 6.
4Steelix
A Berry Specialist With A Useful Main Skill
Steelix is the evolved form of Onix. It is one of the few Pokemon that gathers a different type of berry after evolving. Onix collects Sitrus Berry, whileSteelix picks up Belue Berry. Steelix is not the fastest Pokemon, so it is absolutely necessary to have Helping Speed S or M and a nature that increases the speed of help.
Steelix only appears on Taupe Hollow, which is the third island in the game. The Pokemon will start to appear when players reach Master 2. Both Steelix and its base evolution, Onix, are considered rare spawns, so players might have to spend several weeks on the island before they finally see one. When a Steelix does appear, it will require 20 friendship points to befriend.
3Delibird
Best At Collecting Eggs
Delibird is a Flying-type Pokemon and is arguably the best at gathering Fancy Eggs, which are a key ingredient for many powerful recipes. Delibird has a base frequency of 00:41:40, which is not bad at all.
This Pokemon can be found on Greengrass Isle and Snowdrop Tundra. On Greengrass Isle, it will first start appearing after players hit Ultra 3, and on Snowdrop 3, after Great 3. While hitting higher ranks on Greengrass Isle is easier, the best place to get Delibird is on Snowdrop Tundra, as the pool is smaller, which increases the odds of the Pokemon appearing.
2Dragonite
Best Pokemon For Getting Ingredients
Dragonite is a pseudo-legendary Pokemon that was added to the game as part of the Lapis Lakeside update. It is a Dragon-type Pokemon, so it can gather Yache Berry, which has the highest base value out of any berry.
Dragonite is by far the best ingredient specialist in the game. It can gather Fiery Herb, Greengrass Corn, and Pure Oil, all three of which are excellent ingredients. Dragonite’s Main Skill also deserves some praise, as it allows the Pokemon to recover energy. Since it is such a great Pokemon, it is obvious that finding it is not easy. It will onlyappear on Lapis Lakesidewhen players hit Master 6.
1Raikou
Pokemon With The Highest Potential
Raikou was the first legendary Pokemon to be introduced in the game. It is an Electric-type Pokemon with a unique mechanic, but it only shines in teams that only have Pokemon of the same type. Raikou is a skills specialist, which means it needs to have Skill Trigger Sub Skills and a nature that increases the chances of the main skill being triggered.
Raikou can only be foundon Greengrass Isle, and it will only start appearing once players have hit Master 9. The other sleep styles will be unlocked at Master 13 and Master 19, respectively. While Raikou is a legendary Pokemon, it is not a must-have. Players can wait for an event where the Pokemon will have a boosted rate.
