Murkrow & Honchkrow Debut
Murkrow and Honchkrow will debut in Pokémon Sleep beginning Monday
After the first New Moon Day event, they will only appear at Greengrass Isle, Snowdrop Tundra, and Old Gold Power Plant.
They will have a dozing sleep type, and will be Dark type Pokémon. Their main skill will be Super Luck (Ingredient Draw S): Gets one type of ingredient chosen randomly from a specific selection of ingredients. On rare occasions, gets a great number of Dream Shards instead.
Darkrai
A special appearance rate is a bonus that gives you an opportunity to encounter Pokémon you normally wouldn’t meet.
During the New Moon Day event, you’ll be able to encounter Darkrai in all areas, regardless of your sleep type.
Darkrai will sometimes appear during the first sleep research of the day, but will never appear during the second sleep research of the day.
Additionally, if you weren’t able to encounter Darkrai during sleep research, your chances of encountering Darkrai during New Moon Day sleep research will increase a little at a time.
