We’re pleased to announce the development of Pokémon Sleep, a new app from @Pokemon_cojp that tracks a user’s time sleeping and brings a gameplay experience unlike any other!

Adding to this announcement was the reveal of a new device: Pokémon GO Plus +. This new accessory can be used as a regular Pokémon GO Plus during the day and then at night time it will track sleep with its embedded accelerometer, sending information to a smartphone device via Bluetooth. It was also confirmed Nintendo of America and Niantic are helping out.

To celebrate this announcement, Pokémon GO on mobile is running a special sleeping Snorlax event.
