The Pokemon Sleep Helper tier list sifts through the currently available pocket monsters in-game and provides trainers with a sketch of which one is more valuable.

Currently, there are over 100 different Pocket Monsters in Pokemon Sleep. But what do you have to do with them if you can’t use them in any form of battle? The basic objective of the creatures that you catch in Pokemon Sleep is to increase Snorlax’s strength. Not all do this effectively, though.

If you want to know which creatures are the best in this game, you need to know their ability to increase Snorlax’s strength. Every Pocket Monster has a set number of abilities that determine how well they can assist Snorlax in this game. Some of them also come with traits and special abilities.

In Sleep, you can increase Snorlax’s strength in one of the following ways:

  • Snorlax’s strength will increase if you feed it berries. There is currently one berry for each elemental typing in the Pokemon franchise.
  • Snorlax can eat meals that you cook for it. This will help increase its strength much more than eating raw berries.
  • Pocket Monsters like Gengar have special skills that will let them directly increase Snorlax’s strength.

Helper Pokemon assists you with these tasks. The more useful a creature is in assisting Snorlax in Sleep, the better its overall ranking. In this tier list, you will find the top-tier creatures in the S-tier. The usefulness of the Helper Pokemon will decrease as you descend below.

The more you sleep, the better creatures you will find in the game.
