Pokemon Go Nightcap Snorlax Locked Behind Sleep Data

Trainers, Niantic and Pokemon Go are commemorating the launch of the new Go Plus+ device with an exciting in-game event called “Catching Some Z’s.” This event introduces Nightcap Snorlax into the game. However, obtaining it is not immediate, as Nightcap Snorlax is locked behind sleep data.
The star attraction of the event is undoubtedly Nightcap Snorlax, which can only be acquired through a Special Research quest. To embark on this quest, players need to have a Go Plus+ device and connect it to the Pokemon Go app. Once connected, a new Special Research featuring Komala and Nightcap Snorlax will become available in their inventory.
The Catching Some Z’s Special Research is divided into two stages. However, to successfully complete it and obtain all five Nightcap Snorlax, players must utilize the Go Plus+ device to monitor their sleep patterns for an entire month. This approach reveals that Niantic and Pokemon Go have introduced an exclusive Pokemon that can only be obtained by incorporating sleep data.
Catching Some Z’s Special Research Step 1/2
- Catch 20 Pokemon in Poke Balls using Pokemon Go Plus +: 25 Poke Balls
- Catch 10 Pokemon in Great Balls or Ultra Balls using Pokemon Go Plus +: 25 Great Ball

In order to get all 5 encounters with Sleeping Snorlax, players need to track their sleep for 1 MONTH with the GO Plus +
but this doesn't make sense….

Please keep in mind that the Catching Some Z’s event has concluded, but the Nightcap Snorlax Special Research is still accessible.
