Where Can You Get Sneasel and Weavile in Pokemon Sleep?

As their mainline series suggests with their dual Ice and Dark typing, Sneasel and Weavile can be found at Snowdrop Tundra in *Pokémon Sleep.* However, in this game, they are classified solely as Dark types, as dual typing isn't supported.

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

If you're currently researching on a different island but want to encounter these new Pokémon, you can use the EZ Travel Ticket item to switch your research to either Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle where Sneasel and Weavile appear.

Sneasel and Weavile Sleep Types in Pokemon Sleep

Both Sneasel and its evolved form, Weavile, fall under the Dozing sleep type. This means they're more likely to appear on Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle if you have a Dozing sleep type during the night.

As the first evolution, Sneasel is generally 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.
