Pokémon Debuts

Komala, the Drowsing Pokémon, will make its Pokémon GO debut!

Komala

Komala is a Normal type Pokémon first discovered in the Alola Region, and has a pretty wild backstory. Komala stays asleep from birth to death, because it eats certain leaves that contain poison that Komala can break down, but the effect is that it induces sedation.

It is able to eat, travel, and even battle without waking up. Komala’s saliva can be watered down and used as anaesthetic or a sleep medicine. Do not remove Komala’s log, as it will make Komala trash wildly and unable to sleep well.

Special Research

Snorlax wearing a nightcap will also make its Pokémon GO debut! You can complete Special Research tasks to encounter it! Trainers must link their Pokémon GO Plus + device in the in-game settings to unlock a new exclusive Special Research* story.

After you pair the Pokémon GO Plus + with Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to take on Special Research that leads to an encounter with Snorlax wearing a nightcap! This Snorlax looks like it’ll sleep so soundly—we hope catching it makes your own naps even nicer!

*This Special Research will continue to be available and can be claimed after the Catching Some Z’s event ends.
