Pokemon Sleep Halloween 2023 Double Candy Research: Schedule, event bonuses, and more 

Pokemon Sleep Halloween 2023 Double Candy Research will mark the celebration of the festive season in the unique mobile game. The developer recently announced the schedule, how to progress, event bonuses, and other important notes so that players can prepare accordingly beforehand.

Unlike other available Pokemon games, Pokemon Sleep took a different approach to the global franchise. Its gameplay revolves around the simple mechanic of its user sleeping, after which it grades your sleep and spawns pocket monsters you can interact with.

While this may sound relatively straightforward, the game does have quite a few layers to its gameplay that are surprisingly robust. This also helped it to quickly become popular among the masses, with the devs regularly providing fresh patches and new updates, like the Halloween 2023 Double Candy Research.
