Pokemon Sleep Suicune Research Event Dates
Suicune Research Event is in Early September!
 | |
|---|---|
| Event Dates | Start Date: TBD End Date: TBD |
The Suicune Research event is expected to be held for two weeks similar to the Entei and Raikou Research events. However, no specific event dates have been announced yet.
This event has been confirmed for early September 2024, so it will likely take place from September 2 to 16.
New Pokemon: Suicune!
To round out the Legendary trio from the Johto region, Suicune should be able to start appearing in the game at 3 PM local time on the first day of the Suicune Research event.

Suicune Research Event and Bonuses Only On Greengrass Isle
All previous research events were only held on Greengrass Isle, and the Suicune Research event is expected to do the same.
During both event weeks, the Snorlax on this island is also expected to have the Berry matching the Legendary Pokemon's type—the Oran Berry in this case—as one of its favorite Berries.

Collect Suicune Mane for Suicune Incense
| Entei Mane Collection Methods |
|---|
|
This is based on the Entei Research event and will be updated once Suicune Research is available.
Collecting Suicune Mane should be possible through sleep research, event missions, Research Community reports, and event bundles during the Suicune Research event. Suicune Mane can then be used at the Event Exchange to get items such as Suicune Incense and Suicune Biscuits.
Collecting Suicune Mane and exchanging them for Suicune Incense may be the easiest way to encounter Suicune.

Water-Type Helper Pokemon Bonuses
| Week 1 | Week 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Ingredients | 1 | 1 |
| Main Skill Chance | 1.5 | 1.5 |
| Main Skill Level | +1 | +3 |
During the Suicune Research event, Water-type Pokemon will be more helpful. If the bonuses are the same as previous research event bonuses, Water-type Pokemon will be able to pick up one extra ingredient and have an increased main skill chance at 1.5x the normal rate.
The Main Skill level for Water-type Pokemon are also expected to be increased. For the first week, Main Skill levels may be increased by 1. During the second week, skills could possibly increase by 3 levels, which will make Suicune an especially excellent helper to add to your team.

Drowsy Power is 1.5x on Second Sunday
Drowsy Power is expected to be multiplied by 1.5x on the second Sunday, which is also the last full day, of the event. This is the best time to find Suicune's rarer Sleep Styles!

Snorlax Starts at Ultra 4 on Week 2
Following the format of both the Raikou and Entei Research events, we can expect a large Snorlax at an Ultra 4 Snorlax rating to appear during the start of the second week of the Suicune Research event.

This table is based on the Entei Research event. It will be updated once Suicune Research is live.
A special event store called the Event Exchange will be open during the Suicune Research Event. This is where you can exchange your Suicune Mane for items such as Suicune Incense.
Additional Suicune Incense and Suicune Biscuits are expected to be added to the Event Exchange during the second week of the event, at lower prices.
Event Exchange Store Items and Prices
Suicune Incense
Suicune Incense cannot be purchased if you already have one in your bag. You can only have a maximum of one Suicune Incense in your inventory at a time. Placing the Incense on a stump still counts as having it in your inventory until it is consumed after a completed sleep session.
Suicune Biscuits
Suicune Biscuits will only be usable during the Suicune Research Event. Once the event is over, any Suicune Biscuits you have in your inventory will turn into Great Biscuits.
Suicune Research Event Missions and Rewards
Possible Week 1 Suicune Research Missions

| Get Snorlax to Ultra 1 | TBD |
| Get Snorlax to Ultra 4 | TBD |
| Give out 15 Biscuits | TBD |
| Use 7 Incenses | TBD |
| Stick to your bedtime 3 times | TBD |
This table is based on the previous Entei Research event. It will be updated once Suicune Research is live.
There are two sets of missions during the Suicune Research Event, one for each week. Suicune Mane of varying amounts are expected to be the rewards for the missions during this event.
Possible Week 2 Suicune Research Missions
| Mission | Week 2 Reward |
|---|---|
| Get Snorlax to Ultra 5 | TBD |
| Get Snorlax to Master 2 | TBD |
| Get Snorlax to Master 5 | TBD |
| Use 100 Candies | TBD |
| Stick to your bedtime 3 times | TBD |
| Cook 12 times | TBD |
This table is based on the previous Entei Research event. It will be updated once Suicune Research is live.
Since Snorlax may start at Ultra 4 for the second week, the Snorlax Strength missions are higher for this week. Rewards will still be Suicune Mane of varying amounts.
All Weekly Missions and Rewards
Suicune Research Event Bundles
No Announcement Yet
No bundles have been announced yet for the event, but every Pokemon Sleep event comes with at least one bundle. Research events usually have two different bundle sets—one released right before the start of the event and another released during the second week.
We will update this page once the bundles have been announced.

Best Pokemon to Use During the Suicune Research Event
Water-Type Pokemon
| List of Pokemon | ||
|---|---|---|
| Squirtle | Wartortle | Blastoise |
| Psyduck | Golduck | Slowpoke |
| Slowbro | Vaporeon | Totodile |
| Croconaw | Feraligatr | Slowking |
| Suicune | Quaxly | Quaxwell |
Water-type Pokemon will be more effective during the Entei Research Event. They will all also have an increased encounter rate during this event.
Blastoise, Feraligatr, and Suicune are Best
Blastoise and Feraligatr are the strongest Water-type Pokemon in the game, so you can't go wrong by adding them to your team during the event.
Although we don't know much about Suicune yet, if it's as strong as Entei, it should be a useful Skills Specialty Pokemon during this event.
