Cutiefly and Ribombee make their Pokémon Sleep debuts in this year's Valentine's Day event, commencing Monday February 9th

Cutiefly, and its evolution Ribombee, will be sleepwalking their way onto player's devices next month, as they make their Pokémon Sleep debut in this year's week-long event celebrating Valentine's Day. This event is scheduled to begin on February 9th at 4:00am local time, running through to February 16th at 3:59am local time.

As with previous Valentine's Day events, this year's event will allow Researchers to participate and gain bonuses regardless of where they conduct their sleep research, with the following bonuses active throughout the event period:

• Dishes will be set to Desserts/Drinks for all Researchers
• Strength gains from dishes will be multiplied by ×1.5
  • This bonus is multiplicative, so Extra Tasty dishes will receive a ×3 total bonus through most of the week, and a ×4.5 total bonus on Sunday February 15th
• The effects of Main Skills that gather ingredients will be boosted by ×1.25
• Researchers can encounter a few Pokémon of different sleep types regardless of their own sleep type for the day.

Starting from this event, Researchers will also be able to unlock a brand new Dessert/Drink recipe. This recipe will be a permanent addition to the game, and will remain available after the event has concluded.

Cutiefly and Ribombee will make their Pokémon Sleep debut alongside the start of this event, from Monday February 9th at 3:00pm (UTC). Players who are in the middle of Sleep Research at the time it debuts should have a chance of seeing them when they complete their sleep.

As with other Fairy-type Pokémon, Cutiefly and Ribombee collect Pecha Berries. Both Pokémon have the Snoozing sleep type, which corresponds to rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep) or Stages 1-2 of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM sleep). Cutiefly and Ribombee will appear at Greengrass Isle, Cyan Beach, Lapis Lakeside, Amber Canyon, and Greengrass Isle (Expert). As of writing, no information is yet available on their Main Skills. While the ingredients they collect have also not been specified, it seems safe to assume they should at least collect Honey. It's likely they will also collect some of Pure Oil, Soothing Cacao, and/or Greengrass Corn, as these are required for the brand new recipe being added for this event.

Cuttiefly Incense items will also be able to be used from the instant this Pokémon goes live. As with previous Pokémon debuts, it's likely that Cutiefly Incense will become available in special bundles available for purchase in-game from shortly before the event.

Additionally, the following Pokémon, all of which collect at least one of Pure Oil, Soothing Cacao, Greengrass Corn, or Honey, will appear more frequently during sleep research throughout the event:

• Greater Appearance Rate
  • Greengrass Isle, Cyan Beach, Lapis Lakeside, Amber Canyon, and Greengrass Isle (Expert)

Researchers should also note the following for this event:

• The daily rollover for the Valentine's Day 2026 event is at 4:00am local time.
• Event bonuses for this event apply regardless of which site players conduct their sleep research in.
• Event bonuses apply only for sleep tracking that begins within the event period, and do not apply to sleep tracking during the tutorial, or to sleep data tracked before the event, even if the researcher waits to review their sleep research after the event has started.
• Sleep data tracked during the event will receive event bonuses, regardless of if the researcher waits to review their sleep research until after the event has concluded.
• Event bonuses cannot raise main skill levels beyond the max main skill level. For Pokémon already on a player's team at the start of the event, if their main skill had procced but had not yet been triggered prior to the start of the event, the trigger of the main skill may not include the bonus effect.
