Event Tips
It may seem like you’ll need to be lucky to see more sleep styles, especially if youconsistently have one sleep type. However, there are some things you’re able to do to generate more opportunities.
There area handful of itemsthat will help. Of course, the ones in the bundles are nice,especially that Good Camp Ticket. ButIncense is your best friendwhen trying to ensure you’ll see more Pokemon.
Incense that focuses on a certain Pokemon is great, of course.Pick ones based on Pokemon you’ve seen fewer timesor fall outside of your usual sleep type. And, even if you’ve seen a lot of Bulbasaur, their Incensecan still draw their other evolutionsto your research site.
If you’ve seen a lot of the first evolution, such as Bulbasaur, but not many of their other evolutions,wait to use that incenseuntil Snorlax is at a much higher level. It could still draw a Bulbasaur, but it then also has a chanceof bringing Ivysaur and Venusaurto your research site.
Friend Incense pairs perfectly with this eventas it will guarantee a Pokemon will show up. The added bonus to that is the Pokemonwill arrive Hungry. That doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to be a Pokemon you haven’t studied before, but it willincrease your odds naturallyas there’s at least one more Pokemon showing up than would have otherwise.
