Where to Find Sneasel and Weavile in *Pokémon Sleep*?

As you might expect from their Ice/Dark typing in the main series games, Sneasel and Weavile appear in Pokémon Sleep's Snowdrop Tundra. However, in Pokémon Sleep, they're classified as Dark-type Pokémon. Conveniently, they also appear on Greengrass Isle, making them accessible to all players, regardless of their research location progress. If you're currently researching on a different island, use an EZ Travel Ticket to switch to either Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle to increase your chances of encountering them.

Both Sneasel and its evolution, Weavile, are Dozing-type Pokémon. This means your chances of finding them on Snowdrop Tundra or Greengrass Isle are significantly higher if you're experiencing a Dozing sleep type during your research. Sneasel is easier to find during Sleep Research and evolves into Weavile using 80 Sneasel Candy and a Razor Claw. However, you'll still need to encounter Weavile in the wild to collect Sleep Research data for it.
