Poison

It’s been seen displaying its belly while sleeping. Perhaps Arbok is showing its fearsome markings on purpose to keep other Pokemon from coming near it.

Poison

Psyduck is always tormented by headaches—its head seems to cause it pain even during sleep. A Psyduck sleeping peacefully, not clutching its head, is a very rare sight.

Water

It’s been found sleeping on trees, hanging by the hook on its rear end. Apparently, it sometimes falls to the ground and carries on sleeping, undisturbed.

It always floats while it sleeps—perhaps because its body is 95% gaseous. If you approach a Gastly that you think is fast asleep, it may give you a sudden surprise as it dreams!

Ghost

This Pokemon fears the light and revels in the dark. You must never approach it, even when it’s asleep. If a sleep-fogged Haunter licks you with its gaseous tongue, it may end up stealing your life-force.

Ghost

If you feel a sudden chill, a Gengar may be sleeping close by. Apparently, it sometimes falls into a deep sleep while hiding in the shadow of a target it intends to curse.

Bug

Houndour communicates with its fellows using a variety of cries. It has also been found howling in its sleep, as if perhaps dreaming that it is out hunting with the rest of the pack.

Dark

This Pokemon is incapable of sitting still. It’s said that Vigoroth’s blood is so agitated that it’s unable to sleep deeply, even when it seems at first glance to be fast asleep.

Normal

Sableye feeds on gemstone crystals. You sometimes see it sleeping while fondly clutching the gemstones it has gathered. Perhaps it’s dreaming of eating them until its belly is stuffed.

Dark

You often see Gulpin moving its mouth in its sleep. Since almost all its body is its stomach, it’s said that when Gulpin sleeps with its mouth shut, that means it’s digesting, and when its mouth is wide open, its stomach is empty.

Poison

It sometimes falls asleep with its cavernous mouth wide open. Perhaps it’s dreaming that it found a huge meal and is trying to swallow it whole.

Poison

It sleeps wrapped inside its wings, looking like a cottony cloud. Nestled within such soft, beautiful wings, the soundly snoozing Altaria may well be enjoying the most comfortable sleep ever.

Dragon

This Pokemon grows by eating dark emotions such as envy and malice. If you wake up in the morning with your mood improved, it could be that a Shuppet sleeping nearby ate up your dark feelings.

Ghost

A Pokemon born of a grudge that took up residence in an abandoned stuffed toy. Sometimes it appears to laugh happily while it sleeps. Perhaps it’s remembering a time when it was loved and cared for.

Ghost

It’s been seen inflating the poison sacs on its cheeks as it sleeps. Apparently, Croagunk is sometimes startled awake by the sound the poison sacs make as they inflate.

Poison

It sometimes uses the poison sac at its throat as a cushion while it sleeps. Be careful—Toxicroak may suddenly punch its fists out even when sleeping contentedly. Perhaps it’s practicing its Poison Jab in its dreams.

Poison

Its curved, bow-like horn remains vigilant even while Absol sleeps. It’s said that this Pokemon’s ability to detect danger is strong even as it slumbers.
