Snoozing - Pokemon Sleep Database

When it curls up to sleep, it’s thought to be drawing warmth from the flame on its tail. On quiet nights, it feels like you can almost hear the sound of the flame burning if you listen hard enough.

Fire

Apparently, Charmeleon sometimes sleeps in a very laid-back posture when relaxed, using its hands as a pillow. It seems its battle fervor completely wears off when it sleeps.

Fire

Its long, sharp fangs grow continuously throughout its life. If it doesn’t maintain these fangs, Rattata will apparently grind them in its sleep and wake itself up with the sound.

Normal

Its sturdy fangs grow steadily, so it grinds its teeth even in its sleep to keep them trimmed. But this may not always be enough—Raticate apparently also gnaws on trees in its sleep sometimes.

Normal

While sleeping, it generates electricity in its cheek sacs. Apparently, it may also discharge electricity while it dozes, as if firing off electric shocks in its dreams.

Electric

Clefairy rarely shows itself, but there have been many sightings on the mornings after a full moon. It is said that happiness will come to those who see a Clefairy using Metronome in its sleep—a particularly unusual sight.

Fairy

Jigglypuff is always singing—even in its sleep! You must take care not to be inadvertently put to sleep by the sound of its soothing singing.

Fairy

It usually lives underground, so at night, it tends to sleep there as well. If you happen to see one asleep above ground, it may be a sign of good luck.

Ground

These triplets never get separated and they sleep all together. Their teamwork as a trio stays steadfast even when they sleep.

Ground

Meowth loves anything that shines. If you happen to find it sleeping while fondly clutching the coins it’s gathered, just watch over it quietly.

Normal

It is very protective of its territory. If you see a cute Growlithe asleep and approach it without caution, you may end up on the receiving end of some dozy barking—and learn your lesson the painful way.

Fire

This Pokemon is always idle, so it’s hard to tell if it’s awake or asleep. Even researchers are divided on whether Slowpoke sleeps, but Slowpoke doesn’t seem bothered either way.

Water

Slowbro mostly sleeps at the same time as the Shel!der biting its tail. Once in a while, though, Slowbro has been found sleeping with the Shellder still awake.

Water

The units at its side generate electromagnetic waves that keep it airborne. On rare occasions, perhaps when it sleepily muddles the direction of its waves, it does loops through the air while asleep.

Steel

The three Magnemite are usually linked by a strong magnetic force. They have been spotted sleeping stuck together and drifting apart. Perhaps their magnetism is unstable during sleep.

Steel

To keep itself from being attacked while asleep, Doduo’s two heads take turns staying awake. You’ll only see both heads asleep together very rarely—perhaps only when Doduo feels completely safe.

Flying

Kangaskhan protects its child by keeping it in its pouch, even while sleeping. If the child wakes before its mother and leaves the pouch to play, you’d best not approach it or you may end up in trouble with its mother.

Normal

It is a master of pantomime. No one can tell if it’s miming being asleep, or if it’s actually asleep and pantomiming in its dreams.

Psychic

There have been reports from around the world of Ditto falling asleep while still transformed into another Pokemon. Yet Ditto usually returns to normal when it relaxes, so this is a very rare sight.

Normal

Thanks to its unstable genetic makeup, Eevee can evolve into a variety of forms. Perhaps in its sleep, it dreams about which form it will evolve into.

Normal

It sleeps contentedly wrapped in its fluffy fur, which releases heat into the air to cool down Flareon’s body. Perhaps Flareon is regulating its body temperature even while sleeping.

Fire

Apparently, it often sleeps curled up. On very rare occasions, a sleep-befuddled Cyndaquil will spout flames from its back while sleeping.

Fire

It sometimes sleeps while floating and apparently only moves its wings intermittently while doing so. Perhaps some sort of mysterious power is keeping it in the air.

Fairy

When Mareep rolls over in its sleep, its fluffy coat of wool rubs together and builds a static charge. This apparently turns into an electric current that flows into Mareep’s tail, sometimes causing it to heat rapidly and start glowing at the tip.

Electric

If its coat becomes fully charged with electricity, its tail lights up. You can see this happen very rarely while it sleeps, too. But be careful—Flaaffy can fire off hairs that zap on impact!

Electric

The light from its tail can be seen from space. It’s said that this Pokemon usually keeps the light off, but if you see a light shining far off in the distance at night, perhaps it’s a soundly sleeping Ampharos.

Electric

It bathes in the sunshine during the day and builds up psychic power in the orb on its forehead. It’s said to be averse to battling at night, so it might be easier than you’d expect to come across an Espeon deep in sleep.

Psychic

It desperately tries to keep its black tail hidden. Though it keeps up the effort even while asleep, it’s said that when Wobbuffet sleeps deeply and drops its guard, its tail can be seen on full display.

Psychic

Slakoth spends nearly all its time in a day sprawled out, trying to use as little energy as possible. Drowsy Power is the only thing that can successfully lure it to come and sleep by Snorlax’s side.

Normal

It is the world’s laziest Pokemon, spending all day lying down and lolling about. On very rare occasions you might even see a Slaking that dozed off while snacking on the grass around it.

Normal

It sends a soothing aura from its ribbonlike feelers. Trainers that sleep beside a Sylveon are likely get a great night’s sleep every time they hit the hay.
