Special Research

Using Pokémon GO Plus + will let you play Pokémon GO without staring at your phone. Using the auto-throw function, you’ll be able to automatically throw Poké Balls at wild Pokémon, while the auto-spin function automatically spins PokéStops. You can also adjust the settings to switch between throwing Great Balls or Ultra Balls.

After you pair the Pokémon GO Plus + with Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to take on Special Research that leads to an encounter with Snorlax wearing a nightcap! This Snorlax looks like it’ll sleep so soundly—we hope catching it makes your own naps even nicer!

You can also use Pokémon GO Plus + to easily track your sleep with Pokémon Sleep. Just press the center button and place it by your pillow.

Connecting your Pokémon GO Plus + to Pokémon GO will allow you to enjoy some new features based on your sleep data!

For more details, please see the Pokémon GO Plus + website.

Trainers may have additional opportunities to encounter Snorlax wearing a nightcap in the future. Stay tuned!

*This Special Research will continue to be available and can be claimed after the Catching Some Z’s event ends.
