Fire Type Week Details
The Fire Type Week event lasts from 4:00 a.m. on Monday, May 6, to 3:59 a.m. on Monday, May 13 in all areas!
If you’d like to prepare for the Entei Research event—during which Fire-type Pokémon will be particularly helpful—we encourage you to befriend lots of Fire-type Pokémon!
During this event, you’ll be able to meet Pokémon of various sleep types regardless of your own. In particular, Fire-type Pokémon will be more likely to appear.
Also during this event, you’ll be able to use the Mini Candy Boost function, which doubles the effect of Pokémon Candies. It’s a great opportunity to raise your Fire-type Pokémon!
In addition, one of the Pokémon that visits during sleep research will for sure arrive hungry!
Note: This applies to only one sleep session per day. This effect applies separately from the hungry effects of Friend Incense and Good Camp Tickets. Example: If you use a Good Camp Ticket and Friend Incense together during the event, at least three Pokémon that appear during sleep research will for sure be hungry.
On top of all that, you can get great rewards—like Vulpix Incense—through limited-time missions during the event.
Bonuses for all days of the event (5/6 to 5/12)
- During sleep research, one Pokémon will for sure be hungry.
- A few Pokémon of different sleep types will appear during sleep research regardless of the researcher’s sleep type for that day.
- Certain Pokémon will be more likely to appear during sleep research.

What is Mini Candy Boost?
Mini Candy Boost uses fewer Dream Shards than the Candy Boost function that appeared before, so it can be easily used even by researchers who are just beginning to play Pokémon Sleep.
Using Mini Candy Boost lets your helper Pokémon get twice the usual amount of EXP from candies in exchange for using four times the usual amount of Dream Shards per candy. This function can be used with up to 50 candies per day.
This function will be set to ON by default. You can freely toggle this function ON or OFF by tapping the button in the upper right of the Level Up screen.
Feel free to use Mini Candy Boost when you want to level up your helper Pokémon!
