Attention all Pokémon Sleep researchers! A new update to the game has been announced that will bring us to Version 1.7.2. This update will make adjustments to certain Pokémon to make them more usable, and as such, there will be a period of maintenance in order to update the game.

The maintenance period is scheduled to start on the 14th of May 2024 at 02:00 UTC and will end at 06:30 UTC. During this time, the game will be unavailable as the necessary updates are applied.

One of the new features included in this update is the preparation for the Entei Research event. For more details on this event, be sure to check out the Entei Research Event article for all the information you need.

In terms of game contents, there are some changes to the conditions for when the Sleep EXP Bonus Gauge applies. Previously, it would apply when any helper Pokémon on the team reached the current max level of 55, regardless of the user's research rank. Now, it will only apply when any helper Pokémon on the team has reached the max level possible for the user's research rank at the time.

Additionally, new perks have been added to the Novice Researcher Bonus, including one additional hungry Pokémon for each of the first seven sleep research sessions.

There have also been balance adjustments made to the helping stats of certain helper Pokémon such as Persian, Golduck, Wobbuffet, and Lucario. These adjustments aim to make these Pokémon more usable in the game.

The update also includes improvements to the Pokémon GO Plus+ feature, allowing for regular sleep research to be conducted for both sessions when two sleep tracking sessions are reported at the same time.

Overall, this Version 1.7.2 update for Pokémon Sleep brings a host of new features, adjustments, and improvements to make your gaming experience even better. Be sure to update your game during the maintenance period to enjoy all the new content!
