New Research Area: Old Gold Power Plant

It’s been reported that a new area—the Old Gold Power Plant—has been found, and it seems likely that new Pokémon encounters await you there!

Date of the Area Addition

3:00 p.m. on October 2, 2024

Requirement for Unlocking the Area

Complete the Sleep Dex goal of registering 340 sleep styles.

Speculation

The Power Plant is a classic location in the main series Pokémon games, and as such we can speculate on the types of Pokémon we can expect to encounter there, along with which berries Snorlax may prefer.

Potential Berries – Leppa Berries, the Electric type berries, seem the most logical choice for a Power Plant area to have. There are several other options that also fit, including the Belue Berry which is Steel type, and potentially Chesto Berry, the Poison type Berry.

In the original games the spawns at the Power Plant were mainly Electric, Steel and Poison type Pokémon. None of those berries are currently featured as a fixed preference for a Snorlax on any island, so it would make those types more desirable.

Potential Pokémon – There is a potential for several different new Pokémon in a Power Plant themed area. Many of the item balls in the main series are actually Voltorb and Electrode, so they would be a fitting addition. in Pokémon Yellow and Let’s GO Grimer and Muk are featured Power Plant spawns. The Power Plant is also where Zapdos roosts!
Clefairy Bedtime Gift

A Clefairy Bedtime Story—a special video focused on Pokémon that fall asleep in the world of Pokémon Sleep—has arrived.

A special gift is being sent out a so that each Pokémon Sleep research can also experience a wonderful encounter with Clefairy!

If you use it during the 14th Good Sleep Day event, you may even meet a Shiny Clefairy!

You can accept this gift by tapping the gift box icon in the upper right of the in-game menu:

  • Clefairy Incense ×1

Notes: This applies to players who logged in before 2024/09/23 15:59. If your gift has not yet arrived, please restart the app and then check your Gift Box.

How to Get Mega Aggron

You cannot catch Aggron in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form, and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Aggron. Aggron can be caught with the following CP values:

  • 1636 – 1714 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
  • 2045 – 2143 CP at Level 25, boosted by Snow weather boost

In order to get Mega Aggron, you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Aggron again in the future. If you wait for their ‘cooldown’ period to end, Mega Evolution is free. This cooldown period is shorter the higher the Mega level your Mega Pokémon is.

Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Aggron Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Aggron, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Aron, Lairon, or Aggron to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.
