Pokémon Sleep 1st Anniversary News: Day 7
Good-Night Ribbons: In early August, you'll be able to place a Good-Night Ribbon on your helper Pokémon to improve their abilities. Pre-evolved Pokémon will also be more effective!

YouTube Clip - Good-Night Ribbon | Pokémon Sleep

First Anniversary Announcement Day 7: A New Feature Is Coming Soon—Good-Night Ribbons!

As part of the First Anniversary Fest, we’ve been announcing new information about Pokémon Sleep each day for a week.

Our announcement for day seven is about the new Good-Night Ribbon feature. This new feature is meant to help you feel closer to your helper Pokémon. We plan to add it during an update in early August. Please see below for more details.

What Is a Good-Night Ribbon?

Helper Pokémon can now get Good-Night Ribbons based on the amount of sleeping time you’ve shared.
Note: You can see a Pokémon’s Good-Night Ribbon, along with its effects, and your shared sleep time on the Pokémon’s details screen (from the home screen, tap Pokémon, then Pokémon Box, and then on the individual Pokémon).

Getting a Good-Night Ribbon will raise some of a Pokémon’s helping stats. The effects it has on stats depend on which of four levels of Good-Night Ribbon it is, and these levels are unlocked based on the amount of sleeping time shared with that helper Pokémon.

Also, if you reach the third ribbon level, you’ll get a special profile icon of that Pokémon!

In addition, if that helper Pokémon is still able to evolve, then it will get an additional boost to its helping stats. With the effects of the Good-Night Ribbon, it may be easier to include unevolved Pokémon that couldn’t help much before on your team.
Note: The number of times a Pokémon can evolve depends on which Pokémon are included in Pokémon Sleep.

Good-Night Ribbon Effects

• Ribbon level 1: 200 hours of sleeping time shared
　• Carry limit +1
• Ribbon level 2: 500 hours of sleeping time shared
　• Carry limit +2
　• If the Pokémon can still evolve once (example: Pikachu), its helping frequency is shortened by 5%
　• If the Pokémon can still evolve twice (example: Pichu), its helping frequency is shortened by 11%
• Ribbon level 3: 1,000 hours of sleeping time shared
　• Carry limit +3
　• Special profile icon of that helper Pokémon
• Ribbon level 4: 2,000 hours of sleeping time shared
　• Carry limit +2
　• If the Pokémon can still evolve once (example: Pikachu), its helping frequency is shortened by 7% (for a total of 12% shorter)
　• If the Pokémon can still evolve twice (example: Pichu), its helping frequency is shortened by 14% (for a total of 25% shorter)

Note: Each level’s effects will be added as you unlock them.
Example: If you unlock ribbon level 2 with Pichu (a Pokémon that can still evolve twice), you’ll get the effects of ribbon level 2 in addition to the effects of ribbon level 1.
Therefore, that particular Pokémon will get three effects from the ribbon: +1 to its carry limit from the ribbon level 1 bonus, plus an additional +2 to its carry limit and 11% shorter helping frequency from the ribbon level 2 bonus.

Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh Soars into Pokémon UNITE to Celebrate 3rd Anniversary

New Battle Pass, Activities and Celebratory Game Mode Also Available Now

Bellevue, Wash. — July 19, 2024 – Today, the Pokémon Company International announced that exciting in-game events and activities are now available to mark the third anniversary of Pokémon UNITE on both Nintendo Switch™ systems and mobile devices.

Ho-Oh Joins the Fray in Pokémon UNITE

Fan-favourite Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh makes its Pokémon UNITE debut today as a ranged Defender. Ho-Oh’s exciting Ability, Regenerator, allows it to gradually recover HP if it does not take damage from Pokémon on the opposing team for a set amount of time.

Ho-Oh’s moves will keep players on their toes the entire match, and its Unite Move, Rekindling Flame, allows it to spread its wings wide and consume all the Aeos energy in its possession to revive knocked-out allied Pokémon. The more Aeos energy Ho-Oh consumes, the more ally Pokémon are revived and returned to battle.

Time-Limited Events to Celebrate Three Years of Pokémon UNITE

Trainers can take part in a host of thrilling activities to celebrate three years of Pokémon UNITE, including:


Ho-Oh Commemorative Event (From July 19 at 00:00 UTC to August 11 at 23:59 UTC) – Trainers can obtain one free die each day during the event period. Roll the die to advance a number of spaces on a game board, then complete the corresponding mission on space you land on to be able to roll another die. Trainers who collect 1000 Divine Forest coins can exchange these coins for Ho-Oh’s Unite license!


Panic Parade Revival (From July 19 at 00:00 UTC to September 4 at 23:59 UTC) – The thrilling tower-defense game mode returns! Protect Tinkaton from an onslaught of attacks from advancing wild Pokémon. Some Pokémon can even be called back to provide a quick burst of help to turn the tide of battle!


Charizard Unite License Distribution (From July 19 at 00:00 UTC to September 2 at 23:59 UTC) – Trainers can obtain either a Charizard-themed hat fashion item, Charizard’s Unite license, or 100 Aeos coins the first time they log in during the event period.
