Limited-Time Dream Gifts
Dream Gifts will appear by Snorlax’s side during the first week of this event. The gift lineup is the same for all researchers. Each day, the contents of the Dream Gift will be chosen randomly from the lineup. That means that all researchers who log in on all applicable days will get all the same rewards by the end.
If you don’t accept a Dream Gift from the home screen after logging in, it will be sent to your Gift Box (from the home screen, go to the Main Menu and tap the gift box icon on the upper right).
You can’t receive Dream Gifts in the following cases. (They won’t be sent to your Gift Box.:
- For days when you didn’t log in
- During the tutorial
Limited-Time Festive Flowers
While available, you can plant one seed of your choice every day in the planter near Snorlax’s feet. If you track your sleep after you plant a seed, Festive Flowers will bloom when you wake up.
Festive Flowers will bloom when you log in the following day, even if you didn’t conduct sleep research.
If you forget to plant a seed, one will be chosen from your remaining stock and planted in the planter, and Festive Flowers will bloom when you log in the next day.
There are five different colored seeds, and you will be able to gain various bonuses based on the color of seed planted:
- Red Seed: Candies gained from the first sleep research of the day will be multiplied by 2.5.
- Blue Seed: Helper Pokémon Sleep EXP will be multiplied by 3
- Yellow Seed: Once per day, one Pokémon will definitely be hungry during snack time.
- Purple Seed: Dream Shards gained through sleep research will be multiplied by 2.5.
- White Seed: Obtain a Neutralizing Mint
Once you’ve received these research bonuses, they will remain active for the duration of the event. Event bonuses apply only to sleep data tracked after planting a seed. Each type of seed can only be planted once. Once you have selected which seed to plant, you cannot reselect a different seed that day.
We would recommend saving your White Seed till the last day, and prioritising the other seeds based on your need. For most researchers Blue for extra EXP, then Purple, then Yellow, then Red, and finally White.
Mint Flowers
When you use a Neutralizing Mint, you can remove the effects a Pokémon’s Nature has on its helping stats. You’ll get one Neutralizing Mint if you plant a White Seed.
When you start growing Festive Flowers, you will get one Neutralizing Mint as a tutorial item. You can have a maximum of two Neutralizing Mints in your bag’s items pocket.
Limited-Time Mini Candy Boost
Mini Candy Boost uses fewer Dream Shards than the regular Candy Boost function, so even beginner researchers can easily use this limited-time function.
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.
You can freely toggle this function ON or OFF by tapping the button in the upper right of the Level Up screen. Consider using Mini Candy Boost when you want to level up your helper Pokémon. This function will be set to ON by default during the event.
