This year's Pokémon Sleep winter holiday event brings two adorable additions: Eevee in a Santa hat, Pawmi, and Alolan Vulpix! Let's dive into how to catch them.
Pawmi and Alolan Vulpix Debut in Pokémon Sleep
The December 2024 Holiday Dream Shard Research event, running the week of December 23rd, marks the arrival of Pawmi and Alolan Vulpix. Expect boosted encounter rates and bonus Dream Shards throughout the event. Shiny versions will also be available.
Catching Pawmi
Pawmi appears from 3 PM on December 23rd on Greengrass Isle, Snowdrop Tundra, and Old Gold Power Plant. Its sleep type is Snoozing, a common sleep type easily achieved. A Balanced sleep type might also attract Pawmi, but with lower odds. Remember, Pawmi, Pawmo, and Pawmot can only be studied in the wild, not evolved ones.
Catching Alolan Vulpix
Alolan Vulpix, also debuting at 3 PM on December 23rd, is rarer, appearing only on Snowdrop Tundra. Its Slumbering sleep type requires a deep, 8-hour sleep. While a Balanced sleep type might work, the chances are slim.
Best Island for the Holiday Event
For the best chance at both Pawmi and Alolan Vulpix, head to Snowdrop Tundra. However, be prepared – this island has high team requirements, so strengthening your Snowdrop team beforehand is recommended.
Pokémon GO is available on iOS and Android.
