Where Can You Get Sneasel and Weavile in Pokémon Sleep?

As their mainline series dual Ice and Dark typing might suggest, Sneasel and Weavile will appear at Snowdrop Tundra in Pokémon Sleep. However, in this game, they will be classified solely as Dark types, as dual typing isn't available.

For players who haven't yet unlocked Snowdrop Tundra, don't worry—you can also encounter Sneasel and Weavile on the starter island, Greengrass Isle. This means everyone can start studying these newcomers right away.

If you've chosen a different island for the week but still want a chance to encounter these new Pokémon, you can use the EZ Travel Ticket item to switch your research to one of the islands where Sneasel and Weavile appear.

Both Sneasel and its evolved form, Weavile, are classified as having the Dozing sleep type. This means they are more likely to appear on Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle if you have a Dozing sleep type for the night.

As the first evolution, Sneasel is likely easier to encounter during Sleep Research. To evolve it into Weavile, you'll need 80 Sneasel Candy and the Razor Claw item. However, to gather Sleep Research data on Weavile, you'll still need to encounter it in the wild.

Based on its stats, Sneasel seems primarily useful for berry gathering, though it will also give your dishes an Extra Tasty boost. Its ingredient lineup includes some of the more coveted items, making it well worth adding to your Snowdrop Tundra team if you get one with a good set of ingredients.
