Speculation

The Power Plant is a classic location in the main series Pokémon games, and as such we can speculate on the types of Pokémon we can expect to encounter there, along with which berries Snorlax may prefer.

Potential Berries – Leppa Berries, the Electric type berries, seem the most logical choice for a Power Plant area to have. There are several other options that also fit, including the Belue Berry which is Steel type, and potentially Chesto Berry, the Poison type Berry.

In the original games the spawns at the Power Plant were mainly Electric, Steel and Poison type Pokémon. None of those berries are currently featured as a fixed preference for a Snorlax on any island, so it would make those types more desirable.

Potential Pokémon – There is a potential for several different new Pokémon in a Power Plant themed area. Many of the item balls in the main series are actually Voltorb and Electrode, so they would be a fitting addition. in Pokémon Yellow and Let’s GO Grimer and Muk are featured Power Plant spawns. The Power Plant is also where Zapdos roosts!

Clefairy Bedtime Gift

A Clefairy Bedtime Story—a special video focused on Pokémon that fall asleep in the world of Pokémon Sleep—has arrived.

A special gift is being sent out a so that each Pokémon Sleep research can also experience a wonderful encounter with Clefairy!

If you use it during the 14th Good Sleep Day event, you may even meet a Shiny Clefairy!
