Pokemon Sleep – How to Get Green Snorlax, Explained

Green Snorlax isn’t some strange bug or a new shiny variation of the iconic, lazy Pokemon. Rather, it seems Pokemon Sleep may contain several different forms of Snorlax for players to discover and capture, as this Snorlax is native to a specific Search Area that can be visited for your week of Sleep Research within the game.

To discover the Green Snorlax in your own Pokemon Sleep journey, you must unlock and travel to the Research Area known as Cyan Beach. The Green Snorlax appears to be native to this area, meaning that to receive one for your weekly Sleep Research, all you have to do is select Cyan Beach. Then, when your Snorlax wanders in to arrive as your research test subject, it’ll be showing off these unique colors.

To unlock the Cyan Beach Research Area, you will need to discover 20 different Sleep Styles in the Greengrass Isles area. After making the required 20 discoveries, Cyan Beach will be available in your list of choices whenever a new week of research occurs on Mondays.

If this green Snorlax is any indicator, Pokemon Sleep may have even more unique Snorlax species, similar to the Magikarp in Magikarp Jump. This wouldn’t be too big of a surprise either, as the games are both created by SELECT BUTTON.

I’m all for discovering these unique Snorlax forms, and who knows what’s next? Pink? Orange? Maybe even purple! I certainly can’t wait to see which interesting Snorlax subjects you researchers meet along the way!
