As announced on Pokemon Day, the Legendary Pokemon Raikou will soon be arriving inPokemon Sleep. Electric-type Pokemon are going to help get Raikou to appear during this event, so players determined to meet this Johto legend should start training their Electric helpers now.

Luckily, Electric-type Week is meant to help players do just that. Not only will Electric-type Pokemon be more likely to appear, but a new one has been added to the in-game roster: Dedenne. Even if you’re not interested in raising your Electric-types, you may still benefit from the boost to experience candies and help filling their Sleep Style Dex.

Once per day, a Pokemon in your sleep sessionis guaranteed to be hungry,but it may not be an Electric-type. This stacks with Friend incense and the Good Camp Ticket.

Introducing Dedenne

With this event, Dedenne has been officially added to the game and canappear on Greengrass Isle and Lapis Lakeside. To befriend Dedenne,you will need 16 friendship points, so stock up on Great Biscuits or hope that one arrives hungry.

You can use aMaster Biscuitto befriend Dedenne instantly, however,you can only purchase one a month and Raikou also joins the game in March, so it may be better to save for that.
