Pokémon Sleep Adds Latios in June Event With Dragon-Type Bonuses
The event introduces Latios as a new special Pokémon and pairs it with Latias for the first time, while the Dragon-type bonuses make the two-week period the most favorable window for Dragon-type teams since launch.
Reporting from 1 sources: 4Gamer.net.
Pokémon announced the "Latios and the Tear of the Heart" event for Pokémon Sleep, running June 8-22. Latios appears for the first time alongside Latias. Dragon-type helpers get ingredient, skill, and Drowsy Power bonuses. Players accumulate Event Drowsy Power to restore the Tear of the Heart.
The event splits into two weeks. Week 1 (June 8-14) gives Dragon-type helpers a main skill level +2 bonus when their skill activates. Week 2 (June 15-22) raises that to +5 and introduces a large Snorlax that starts at a higher energy level. The final day, June 22, applies a 1.5x multiplier to all Drowsy Power.
Latios is a Snoozing-type encounter available on Greengrass Isle, Lapis Lakeside, Amber Valley, and Greengrass Isle EX. Its main skill, Draco Meteor, is a Berry Burst that scales with the number of different Dragon-types on the team and gets an extra boost if Latias is also present. Normally only one special Pokémon can be on a team, but Latias and Latios can be placed together.
Players earn Latios's Feather through sleep research and exchange it for Latios's Incense, Latias/Latios Biscuit, and Latias's Incense. The event fields fix one of Snorlax's favorite berries to Yache Berry (Dragon-type) for the duration.
