Cresselia Joins Pokémon Sleep to Battle Darkrai

• The Cresselia vs Darkrai event will take place between March 31st and April 14th
• You can encounter Cresselia during your sleep
• Collect Cresselia Down and exchange it for special items

The world of Pokémon Sleep is about to get a magical twist as Cresselia, the Lunar Pokémon, makes its long-awaited debut. Known for spreading peaceful dreams across the land, Cresselia isn’t arriving alone—she’s stepping into a two-week battle of light versus darkness as the Cresselia vs Darkrai event runs from March 31st to April 14th.

From March 31st through April 14th, players will have an increased chance to encounter Cresselia during their sleep sessions, particularly while researching in Greengrass Isle, Snowdrop Tundra, or Lapis Lakeside. Keep your pillow ready—catching her requires a good night’s rest and a bit of luck.

If you manage to befriend Cresselia, her unique Lunar Blessing skill will come in handy, restoring your team’s energy and boosting Berry collection. The effect grows stronger with more Psychic-type Pokémon on your team, so consider your lineup carefully. Remember, only one Special Pokémon like Cresselia can be part of your team at a time, so choose your dream squad wisely.

This event unites trainers around the globe in a shared mission: to overcome the nightmares spread by Darkrai. As the lunar duo takes center stage, Cresselia’s calming presence will help rescue Pokémon trapped in restless dreams. The more players who join with Cresselia on their team, the higher the collective Drowsy Power climbs—bringing the world closer to peace.

During the event, you can collect Cresselia Down, a special item dropped when Cresselia appears. Trade it in for exclusive rewards like Cresselia Incense and Biscuits, which enhance your chances of encountering her and improve your sleep sessions.

There’s also a glimmer of hope—if global Drowsy Power reaches a high enough threshold, trainers might just earn the rare opportunity to befriend Darkrai. Turning the Prince of Darkness into a loyal companion? Now that’s a dream worth chasing.
