Celebrate Pokémon Sleep's Third Anniversary with a selection of bonus in-game gifts, plus new expert area and a Horizons collaboration event in August

Pokémon Sleep is currently celebrating its third anniversary on Monday July 20th with the second half of its special two-week long Third Anniversary Fest event. On top of all the previously announced bonuses for the second week of the event, a special bundle of gifts is now being distributed to all Sleep Researchers to mark the anniversary. Also announced today were the launch of Cyan Beach (Expert) and a special collaboration with Pokémon Horizons: The Series, with both to be held in August.

Third Anniversary Bonus
In celebration of the game's Third Anniversary milestone, the game is now distributing a special bundle of gifts to all Sleep Researchers. These gifts can be redeemed by anyone who logs in to the game before Friday September 21st, at 4:00am (UTC).

Sleep Researchers logging in from today will find the following items in their Gift Box:

• Sleep points ×2,000
• Main Skill Seed ×1
• Poké Biscuit ×5
• Friend Incense ×1
• Turtwig Incense ×1
• Chimchar Incense ×1
• Piplup Incense ×1

Cyan Beach (Expert) arrives August 10th
Approximately one year after the launch of the game's first Expert Area, Cyan Beach will be receiving its own Expert version mid next month on August 10th. To unlock Cyan Beach (Expert), Sleep Researchers must have raised a Snorlax to a minimum of Master 18 in the regular versions of both Greengrass Isle and Cyan Beach.

In expert mode, the amount of Drowsy Power required to see Pokémon sleep styles is greatly increased, but the amount of Research EXP, Dream Shards, and Pokémon Candies that Sleep Researchers receive for researching each sleep style is also increased. As with Greenngrass Isle (Expert), Snorlax’s favorite Berries for the week on Cyan Beach (Expert) will be divided into one main favorite and two sub-favorites. The favorite will be chosen at random from the three usual berries for Cyan Beach, namely Pecha, Pamtre, and Oran Berries. The sub-favorites meanwhile will be selected at random from the remaining 17 types of Berries available in the game. Helper Pokémon that gather Snorlax’s main favorite Berry will receive bonuses such as shorter helping frequency.

Pokémon Sleep × Pokémon Horizons Special Collaboration Event
A Special Collaboration Event between Pokémon Sleep and Pokémon Horizons: The Series will run from Monday August 17th through Monday August 24th. As of writing, only limited details have been released about this event, which will feature the debut of Pikachu wearing a Captain's Hat, and Tinkatink. Other Pokémon that are featured in the series, including Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly, will also make an appearance.

The 146th episode of the animated series, due to air on August 21st, will be themed around Sleep Research, and will see Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult meeting Professor Neroli. This is the second game collaboration event for Pokémon Horizons, after the Pokémon UNITE collaboration throughout June.
