It is the first Legendary Pok\u00e9mon to bring a brand-new gameplay skill to the app, and for long-time researchers in Singapore, that means one thing: start building a Psychic-type team right now.<\/p>\n<h2>Mewtwo Heads to Greengrass Isle \u2014 What the Pok\u00e9mon Sleep Event Involves<\/h2>\n<p>The Pok\u00e9mon Sleep Mewtwo event will be held at Greengrass Isle and Greengrass Isle (Expert), with Psychic-type helper Pok\u00e9mon performing particularly well throughout the encounter window. Mewtwo arrives carrying a brand-new Main Skill called <strong>Psystrike (Berry Zone)<\/strong>: when it procs, Snorlax gains strength and a Berry Zone is created at your current sleep research location. While that zone is active, Mago Berries collected by Psychic-type helpers generate bonus energy \u2014 and the effect persists even after Mewtwo leaves the party, so long as you stay put.<\/p>\n<p>Mewtwo is classed as a Special Pok\u00e9mon, meaning only one can be active on a team at a time (Latias and Latios are the sole exceptions to this rule). Full event details, including the exact start date within September, will be published in a future update on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemonsleep.net\/en\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official Pok\u00e9mon Sleep news page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/11sUJJIwVbY\" title=\"Pok\u00e9mon Sleep | Mewtwo Event Coming Soon!\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Pok\u00e9mon Sleep | Mewtwo Event Coming Soon! \u2014 via The Official Pok\u00e9mon YouTube channel on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Mew Gets a Second Chance \u2014 Good News for Newer Researchers<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside the Mewtwo announcement, the Pok\u00e9mon Sleep team confirmed a separate New Moon Day event that will let researchers who have not yet befriended Mew encounter the Mythical Pok\u00e9mon before the Mewtwo event goes live. The announcement notes that Mew will be assisting in researching Mewtwo&#8217;s sleep style, so having Mew on your roster beforehand may well be relevant to the event mechanics. The developers are also exploring a quality-of-life feature to prevent friendship points from being wasted once Mew is finally befriended \u2014 a much-requested fix from the community.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Prepare in Singapore Before September<\/h2>\n<p>Pok\u00e9mon Sleep is free on iOS and Android worldwide, Singapore included. If you have been away from the app, now is the right time to return: log back in, check which Psychic-type helpers you have accumulated, and start levelling them up. The Psystrike Berry Zone mechanic rewards depth in your Psychic roster \u2014 Ralts, Drowzee, Gardevoir, and Espeon are good starting points. More team-building details will follow once the full event guide drops closer to September.<\/p>\n<p>For the exact event date and any bonus mechanics revealed in future patches, follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemonsleep.net\/en\/news\/343234373533313039373839353733313233\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official announcement<\/a>.
