Entei Research Event is in Late May 2024

|---|---|
| Event Dates | Start Date: TBD End Date: TBD |
| Event Mechanics and Bonuses |
| Event Islands | TBD Fixed favorite Berry: Possibly Leppa Berry |
The Entei Research event is expected to last for two weeks similar to the Raikou Research event. It will likely take place either from May 20 to June 3 or from May 27 to June 10.
Like many events, this may take place only on Greengrass Isle. The Leppa Berry may also be a fixed favorite Berry for the duration of the event to further strengthen the Fire-type Pokemon during this week.
More details as well as the specific event dates will be announced at a later time. We will update this page once more information is made available.
New Pokemon: Entei!
After Raikou was added during the Raikou Research event back in March, now the second Pokemon of the trio is making its way to Pokemon Sleep during the Entei Research event!
Entei can be encountered starting at 3 PM local time on the first day of the event. The specific event dates are yet to be announced, however.
Entei Sleep Type, Helping Stats, and All Sleep Styles
Fire Type Week Expected Beforehand
To prepare for the Entei Research Event, the Fire Type Week event is expected to occur a week or two beforehand, similar to how the Electric Type Week event was held before the Raikou Research event. The Fire Type Week event should allow us to befriend lots of Fire-type Pokemon and gather a lot of their Candy.
Possible New Island to be Added
Instead of a Fire Type Week event, we may get an event centered around a brand new island for Fire-type Pokemon. Several Fire types such as Arcanine and Typhlosion cannot be encountered in any of the current research areas.
It seems difficult to hold a Fire Type Week event when several Fire-type Pokemon cannot be encountered in the first place, so a new Fire-themed island may be just the pre-Entei event we need.

Collect Entei Mane for Entei Incense

This information is from the Raikou Research event.
If this event is similar to the Raikou Research Event, you will need to collect Entei Mane through sleep research, event missions, or Research Community reports during the event. Entei Mane can then be used in the Event Exchange to get items such as Entei Incense and Entei Biscuits.
Collecting Entei Mane and exchanging them for Entei Incense may be the easiest way to encounter Entei. However, the developers are planning on adding more features and rewards that will make befriending Entei much easier.
Raikou Research Event
Fire-Type Helper Pokemon Bonuses
During the Entei Research Event, Fire-type Pokemon will be more helpful. If they work similarly to the Electric-type Pokemon during the Raikou Research event, the Fire types will be able to pick up one extra ingredient and have an increased main skill chance at 1.5x the normal rate.

Snorlax May Start at Ultra 4 on Week 2
At the beginning of week two of the Raikou Research Event, Snorlax was automatically promoted to Ultra 4 after selecting Greengrass Isle as the research area, which was the event location for Raikou.
We can expect this to happen again during the Entei Research Event.

Entei Research Event Bundles
Entei Research Bundles to Be Announced
As with every Pokemon Sleep event, bundles will be available alongside the Entei Research Event. An announcement regarding the bundle contents and prices is expcted to be made available closer to the start of the event.
The Entei Research Bundles Vol. 1 are expected to arrive at the General Store a day before the event begins.
Best Pokemon to Use During the Entei Research Event
Fire-Type Pokemon
| Pokemon | Berry | Ingredients | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Charmander | | Ingredients Specialty | Ingredient Magnet S |
| Charmeleon | | Ingredients Specialty | Ingredient Magnet S |
| Charizard | | Ingredients Specialty | Ingredient Magnet S |
| Growlithe | | Skills Specialty | Extra Helpful S |
| Arcanine | | Skills Specialty | Extra Helpful S |
| Flareon | | Skills Specialty | Cooking Power-Up S |
| Cyndaquil | | Berries Specialty | Charge Strength S |
| Quilava | | Berries Specialty | Charge Strength S |
| Typhlosion | | Berries Specialty | Charge Strength S |
| Entei | | TBD TBD | TBD |
Fire-type Pokemon will be more effective during the Entei Research Event. They will all also have an increased encounter rate during this event.
Charizard and Typhlosion in particular are some of the best Fire-type Pokemon you can use in the game. Flareon is also an excellent Pokemon to use if you find yourself lacking in cooking pot space because of its Main Skill. Once you befriend Entei, it can also be a valuable member of your team.
Catch and level up these Pokemon before and during the event in order to help you raise Snorlax quickly! Take note that you can only have up to one Entei on your team at a time, though you can have multiple in your Box.
