Pokémon Sleep to hold a two week-long Lapis Lakeside Opening event, starting January 29th, to mark the addition of the new area

The holiday season may be well and truly over, but Pokémon Sleep is continuing to deliver with regular in-game events. Starting on January 29th, the first Monday following the addition of the new Lapis Lakeside area to Pokémon Sleep on Wednesday January 24th, and running through to Monday February 12th at 3:59am local time, the game will be holding a two week long event to celebrate the addition of this new area, giving players who've not yet unlocked enough entries in their Sleep Style Dex a chance to catch Pokémon that would otherwise be exclusive to the new area.

As of yet, full details have not yet been released about this new event, with additional information due to be released in a future in-game announcement. From the information released in the news post on Pokemon.com however, we know that to participate and gain bonuses and rewards from this event, Researchers will need to conduct their sleep research for this week on Greengrass Isle or Lapis Lakeside. Sleep tracking on any other map will not trigger these event bonuses.

During this event, the following Pokémon which normally appear at Lapis Lakeside will also appear for Sleep Research conducted in Greengrass Isle:

• Dozing Type
  • Dratini
  • Dragonair
  • Dragonite
• Snoozing Type
  • Ralts
  • Kirlia
  • Gardevoir
• Slumbering Type
  • Stufful
  • Bewear
  • Gallade

While it's not yet known if any other bonuses will be active for sleep research during this event period, past events have typically allowed Researchers to encounter Pokémon of different sleep types regardless of their own sleep type for the day, so Researchers should hopefully have plenty of opportunity to encounter these Pokémon and expand their Sleep Style Dex.

In addition, each week will have its own set of missions for Researchers to complete, running from 4:00am on the Monday, and finishing at 3:59pm on the following Monday. Rewards for completing these missions include Dratini Incense, Ralts Incense, and Stufful Incense, all but ensuring that the majority of players should be able to see, and hopefully catch, at least one each of these newly available species.

Snorlax on Greengrass Isle and Lapis Lakeside during this event will prefer Durin, Mago, and Cheri Berries. These berries can be found on Grass-, Psychic-, and Fighting-type Pokémon, so Researchers may wish to ensure they can find, level, and evolve some Pokémon of these types prior to the start of the event.

Lapis Lakeside Bundles
A selection of Bundles will be made available from the in-game store ahead of this event. While no dates have officially been announced for these as of writing, based on past events it's expected that these should remain available until the day after the end of the event, on Monday February 12th at 1:59pm local time.
