Throughout your adventure, you’ll catch and train a variety of Pokémon, and you’ll get to know a lot of them and what makes them move. Due to the sheer number of individual species, it is not surprising that some of them will have overlapping properties, just like many real animals we see every day.
If you think about it, most Pokémon’s sleeping habits go undiscussed. Some of them, whether in the Pokedex description or not, are definitely more nappy than others. some pokemon too avoid As they all sleep, it makes the two groups stand out among hundreds of Pokemon in the same crowd.
Updated by Gabrielle Huston on April 16, 2023: Any die-hard Pokemon fan knows that the Pokemon list is always getting longer. We’ve added a few of our other favorite Sleepy Pokemon to this list!
10 Abra: Close your eyes and teleport
While not particularly rare, the Psychic-type Abra has proven to be a difficult Pokemon to catch, despite many Pokedex entries detailing it. 18-hour sleep cycle. Abra’s teleport avoidance move has a reputation for being irritating as it tries to get away from you as quickly as possible.
Abra obviously likes to sleep, but You know the danger is still looming. Even if it is deep in a dream, waiting for it to doze off will do you no good. Onlookers may not know what those dreams are about, but they have to wonder what a lucid dream of a psychic-type Pokémon might feel like.
9 Jigglypuff: Twirling soft lullabies
Jigglypuff is not known for sleeping per se. put others to sleep! It has tremendous lung capacity as it can be inflated to absurd proportions. When you start singing lullabies, anyone who hears them will find their eyes mysteriously heavy. Pokemon scientists have discovered that this is because the music’s wavelength matches your brainwaves when you’re asleep. Talk about adapting!
you can Resist this sleepy song, but be warned. Put Jigglypuff’s life in danger If you do! It will literally keep singing until you fall asleep or run out of air.
8 Slakoth: Normal, but unusually slow
A native of the Hoenn region, Slakoth shares a sleepy demeanor with many common types. However, most of the similarities end there. The Slacker Pokemon has a lot more in common with its actual inspiration, the sloth. You certainly never saw it coming.
sleeping 20 hours a day, Slakoth don’t need many nutrients to live, and will lie down all day if allowed. Nonetheless, this Pokemon also shares the sloth’s unusually fast swimming speed, and oddly enough, its first evolution takes the form of the rambunctious Vigoroth, reversing Slakoth’s traits on its head.
7 Drowzee: Eat your dreams. yes really
The English name for this Pokemon is A pun on the word “drowsy”, So it’s no surprise that sleep is of interest. Like the Jigglypuff, it is better known for putting others to sleep rather than putting them to sleep.
draw It feeds on human dreams. Especially children’s (they seem to prefer the taste). If you are not yet asleep when Drowzee finds you, Drowzee can put you to sleep. It then detects your dreams to see if they are good. Bad dreams hurt Drowzee. Then suck the dream out of your nose! Yeah, try to get that mental image out of your head.
6 Jirachi: The pajama you’ve only heard of in mythology
The Hoenn area has another heavy sleeper from the Wish Pokemon, Jirachi. Its status as a Mythical Pokemon is extremely rare and earned it that title. 1,000 years, that It only wakes up for 7 days at a time. Jirachi is also an incredibly powerful fighter with a signature move, the Doom Desire, in his powerful arsenal.
Putting aside the unimaginably long sleep cycles, Jirachi can defend itself while sleeping, similar to Abra. It also has the power to grant the wishes people ask for. You’ll be incredibly lucky to find it, but this slumbering mythical Pokemon is an unforgettable encounter.
5 Musharna: You are what you eat
Musharna, where you can learn Dream Eater moves and concepts essential to dieting, is another Psychic type of sleeper. Many Pokemon of this type involve a strong spirit in almost everything they do, but Musharna and its previous evolution, Munna, have shaken things up a bit. Enjoy the dreams of both sleepers and Pokémon to the fullest.
As for Musharna’s legacy strong connection with the dream world; Pokemon itself and Dream Mist are linked to the mechanics of Pokemon Black & White. This sets it apart from Drowzee, another dream-eating baku-like Pokemon that doesn’t doze off as much as you’d expect.
4 Delcatty: Make you feel at home wherever you are
Of course, this cat Prim Pokémon I like to eat and sleep when I want to eat, All schedules go out the window. Delcatty spends a lot of time doing the latter, and plods out of nowhere to get a few Z’s. If attacked during this action, it is content to simply move elsewhere without making a fuss. Not fantastic in combat anyway.
The thick hair on Delcatty’s neck It looks like a neck pillow So, the chances of being uncomfortable are very slim. This Pokémon, always on the move, doesn’t even maintain a nest. So I put more energy into finding another place to nap.
three Arceus: Wake up and play the flute
Arceus is basically The Pokémon God. Legend has it that they created the continents Sinnoh and Ransei, if not the entire Pokemon world! Wouldn’t you be tired after all that work? (Ignore the fact that I also had help from Giratina, Palkia, Dialga, Uxie, Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf.)
Anyway, we know from Arceus’ film that after creating the world and protecting it from meteors, Arceus fell into a deep sleep. Arceus in the game is actually Awakened by a special item, the Azure Flute. Players have to work really hard to get it and challenge Arceus. Exactly how long Arceus is asleep is debatable, given that Arceus interacts with the world, such as taking players back in time for Pokemon Legends: Arceus. At least we can say that his body is asleep even if his consciousness is not asleep.
2 Komala: “Comatose” is a strong but apt word.
With an ability like this, you can guess what Komala’s defining trait is. never wakes up Another example of being classified as a “sleeping Pokémon”, but unique in that it has the ability to prevent being burned, frozen, or paralyzed without the adverse effect of skipping turns that a sleep state would normally bring.
Pokedex entries include Komala’s The diet consists of leaves with soothing properties, But that’s not all restful sleep. Komala can always be affected by moves powered by Sleep, like Hex or Dream Eater, so choose your battles wisely. Lay the sleeping koalas down, but keep an eye on them.
One Snorlax: Really, how obvious can you be?
one of The franchise’s most recognizable sleeping giant, Snorlax’s favorite things are clear and transparent: sleeping and eating. It’s also classified as a sleeping Pokémon in the Pokedex, not to mention its English name was coined with the word “snoring” in mind.
While other sleepy Pokemon place less importance on everyday food, Snorlax makes up for Pokemon that don’t themselves. Pokemon Sword & Shield’s Gigantamax form emphasizes the food element with a berry berry tree appearing on a huge belly, but Your preference for sleep couldn’t grow much bigger.
