Pokemon Sleepstarted with just over a hundred Pokemon, which wasn’t nearly enough for some people. However, the developers released many notes in which they confirmed that they would add new Pokemon in future updates.
Aside from the regular Pokemon, they decided to add a few legendary Pokemon,starting with the thunderous Raikou. The Pokemon’s addition will not only affect the ranking, but it will also add new mechanics. Needless to say, everyPokemon Sleepplayer will try to get their hands on the magnificent beast.
How To Get Raikou In Pokemon Sleep
Players need to follow various steps before they can get ahold of Raikou. First, they must make sure that they are conducting their Sleep Research on Greengrass Island.Going to the other areasmeans that Raikou won’t appear.
Next, players should put several Electric-type Pokemon on their team. Theyshould put Raichu, Jolteon, Ampharos, etc. This is mainly because Grepa Berry will be one of Snorlax’s favorite berries. So, put the best Electric-type Berry specialists on your team. Thanks to the Electric-type event, most players must have caught at least one decent Electric-type.
Finally, players need to gather multiple Raikou Mane and exchange them for Raikou Incense and Biscuits. Raikou Incense ensures that the legendary beast is guaranteed to appear. Meanwhile, the biscuits raise Raikou’s friendship points by six.
How To Get Raikou Mane In Pokemon Sleep
Raikou Manecan be obtained in the following ways:
Once you have obtained enough Raikou Mane exchange for Raikou Incense and other rewards. Raikou has 30 friendship points. So, it will take a while to max it out. An important thing to note is that the first Raikou will have the same subskills for all the players. But any additional Raikou willhave different subskills.
Once the event has ended, players can still encounter Raikou on Greengrass Isle, but the chances will be extremely low.
As it is a special Pokemon, you can only put one Raikou per team.
Can Raikou Be Shiny In Pokemon Sleep?
The in-game announcements don’t state that Raikou is shiny-locked. So there is a good chance that players might be able to snag a shiny Raikou. However, for that, they will have to catch more than one Raikou, as the first one will be the same for everyone.
