If you are new to this game, it is important to note your main goal in Pokemon Sleep is to increase Snorlax’s strength and climb the Ratings. There are four ways you can increase this Pokemon's strength:

• Feeding it berries
• Cooking delicious dishes for Snorlax
• Keeping Pokemon with special abilities to increase Snorlax’s strength
• By sleeping

The faster you increase its strength, the quicker you will cruise through the Snorlax Ratings in Pokemon Sleep. As of this writing, there are four major Ratings in the game:

• Basic
• Great
• Ultra
• Master

Each of these has divisions that can be thought of as milestones. As you progress through the game, you will hit those by increasing Snorlax’s strength. There are 35 milestones or divisions in this title:

How to increase Snorlax’s strength and Rating in Pokemon Sleep

Feeding berries to Snorlax

There is a small box next to Snorlax. If you tap on that, it will tell you what this entity's favorite berries are. Depending on which island you are on, Snorlax will prefer a specific set of berries:

• Greengrass Isle: Randomized berries
• Cyan Beach: Pamtre (Flying), Pecha (Fairy), and Oran (Water)
• Taupe Hollow: Sitrus (Rock), Figy (Ground), and Leppa (Fire)
• Snowdrop Tundra: Wiki (Dark), Persim (Normal), and Rawst (Ice)

(Note: There are 18 types of berries, one for each elemental typing in the Pokemon franchise.)

Once you find out what Snorlax’s favorite berries are, you will have to go to your Pokemon Box and find creatures that specialize in those berries. Feeding the entity its favorite berries will increase its strength twice as fast as making it consume normal berries.

Cooking special dishes for Snorlax

You can cook a wide assortment of dishes for Snorlax in Pokemon Sleep. They include:

• Curries
• Salads
• Desserts

When you cook a special dish for Snorlax, it will gain strength much faster than it would by consuming raw berries and other items that Helper Pokemon gather for it. Each week, Snorlax will prefer a different type of dish, and if you know a few recipes from each food category, you can level up pretty quickly.
