Pokemon GO: How to Get Nightcap Snorlax
Discover how to get the limited Nightcap Snorlax during the Slumbering Sands event in Pokemon GO in this guide.
The limited-time Pokemon variant, Snorlax wearing a Nightcap is available during the Slumbering Sands event from June 7 to June 12, 2024. This article breaks down how to get the Nightcap Snorlax in Pokemon GO.
How to get Nightcap Snorlax in Pokemon GO
Unlike the Visor Slakoth family appearing more frequently in the wild, you can’t encounter Nightcap Snorlax roaming around.
The only way to get this sleepy fellow is by connecting a Pokemon GO Plus device to your account. Doing so unlocks a Timed Research line with Stardust rewards and encounters including:
- Nightcap Snorlax
- Visor Slakoth
- Komala
Completing this research is crucial if you want to add Nightcap Snorlax to your Pokedex in Pokemon GO.
Can Pokemon GO Nightcap Snorlax Be Shiny?
The big question is, can you find a shiny variant of this costumed Snorlax? Luckily, the answer is yes! A shiny Nightcap Snorlax does exist in Pokemon GO.
However, scoring one in Pokemon GO won’t be easy. You only get one Nightcap Snorlax encounter from the research, making the low shiny odds even tougher to overcome.
The Visor Slakoth family has slightly better shiny chances since Visor Slakoth appears more frequently.
Event Bonuses and Activities
During Pokemon GO Slumbering Sands, you’ll also enjoy:
- Increased spawns of the Slakoth line wearing visors
- Special Pokestop designs and Field Research tasks
- Collection Challenges with rewards
So get ready to explore, catch, and complete goals for extra event-exclusive items!
Don’t let this opportunity pass you by, Trainer. Connect that Pokemon GO Plus, finish the research, and maybe you’ll get lucky with a shiny Nightcap Snorlax!
The Pokemon GO Slumbering Sands event runs until June 12th, so make the most of it.
