Paldean Wooper and Clodsire make their Pokémon Sleep debuts in this year's Valentine's Day event, commencing Monday February 10th

Wooper's Paldean Form, and its evolution Clodsire, will be sleepwalking their way onto player's devices next month, as they make their Pokémon Sleep debut in this year's week-long event celebrating Valentine's Day. The event this year is running from Monday February 10th, through to Monday February 17th at 3:59am local time.

The event will allow Researchers to participate and gain bonuses regardless of where they conduct their sleep research, with the following bonuses active throughout the event period:

• Dishes will be set to Desserts/Drinks for all Researchers
• Strength gains from dishes will be multiplied by ×1.5
  • This bonus is multiplicative, so Extra Tasty dishes will receive a ×3 total bonus through most of the week, and a ×4.5 total bonus on Sunday February 16th
• Researchers can encounter a few Pokémon of different sleep types regardless of their own sleep type for the day.

Starting from this event, Researchers will also be able to unlock two brand new Dessert/Drink recipes. These recipes will are a permanent addition to the game, and will remain available after the event has concluded.

Wooper (Paldean Form) and Clodsire make their Pokémon Sleep debuts alongside the start of this event, from Monday February 10th at 3:00pm local time. Players who are in the middle of Sleep Research at the time it debuts should have a chance of seeing them when they complete their sleep.

As with other Poison-type Pokémon, Wooper (Paldean Form) and Clodsire collect Chesto Berries, and have the Dozing sleep type, which corresponds to the "awake" or "light sleep" phase of a sleep cycle. Wooper (Paldean Form) and Clodsire will appear at Greengrass Isle and Taupe Hollow. While Wooper (Paldean Form) and Clodsire should both have the same Ingredients specialty as Wooper and Quagsire, the precedent set by Vulpix and Ninetales with their Alolan variants suggests that they should have an entirely different Main Skill.

Wooper (Paldean Form) and Clodsire Incense items will also be able to be used from the instant the Pokémon goes live. As with previous Pokémon debuts, it's likely that Rufflet Incense will become available in special bundles available for purchase in-game from shortly before the event.

Additionally, the following Pokémon will appear more frequently during sleep research throughout the event:

• Greater Appearance Rate
  • Greengrass Isle
    • Wooper (Paldean Form), and Clodsire
  • Taupe Hollow
    • Wooper (Paldean Form), and Clodsire

    • Psyduck, Pinsir, Pichu, Absol, Mimikyu, and Fuecoco.

Researchers should also note the following for this event:

• The daily rollover for the Valentine's Day 2025 event is at 4:00am local time.
• Event bonuses for this event apply regardless of which site players conduct their sleep research in.
• Event bonuses apply only for sleep tracking that begins within the event period, and do not apply to sleep tracking during the tutorial, or to sleep data tracked before the event, even if the researcher waits to review their sleep research after the event has started.
• Sleep data tracked during the event will receive event bonuses, regardless of if the researcher waits to review their sleep research until after the event has concluded.
• Event bonuses cannot raise main skill levels beyond the max main skill level. For Pokémon already on a player's team at the start of the event, if their main skill had procced but had not yet been triggered prior to the start of the event, the trigger of the main skill may not include the bonus effect.
