Slumbering - Pokemon Sleep Database

It withdraws its limbs and head into its shell to sleep. It’s said to do this to protect itself while sleeping when it’s wary of threats. Apparently, it also sometimes rocks contentedly from side to side.

Water

It remains wary of threats as it sleeps with its body tucked into its shell. But even then, its long, furry tail pokes out a bit. Perhaps it’s using the fur on its tail to feel out its surroundings.

Water

This Pokemon normally sleeps soundly, protected by its tough shell, but it’s also been seen sleeping with its belly exposed on very rare occasions. Perhaps this happens when Blastoise feels completely secure in its surroundings and falls fast asleep.

Water

The best swimmer among Pokemon, Golduck has been seen languidly paddling its webbed limbs as it sleeps. Perhaps it’s swimming in its dreams.

Rock

This Pokemon has been seen rocking back and forth as it sleeps, as if about to roll away at any second. Maybe it’s dreaming of rolling down hilly paths.

Rock

It’s been found crying in its sleep. Perhaps the tears come because it’s dreaming of its deceased mother.

Ground

It’s been observed lovingly clutching its bone even in its sleep. You sometimes see Marowak sleeping with its bone as a pillow—perhaps this means the Pokemon feels at ease.

Ground

This Pokemon is known to close one eye and rest just half its brain at a time, a practice called unihemispheric sleep. Perhaps it’s keeping watch against an enemy attack.

Water

It’s known to rest one brain hemisphere at a time, with the eye on the opposite side closed. Perhaps this method of sleeping with alternating halves of its brain is a defense against enemy attacks.

Water

If you listen carefully while it’s sleeping, you can hear the crackle of static electricity. Apparently, it sometimes discharges energy in its sleep—maybe because it’s not yet skilled at storing electricity.

Electric

Its body sways as it sleeps, as if rocked in a cradle. Its swaying silhouette looks just like a star that twinkles in the night sky.

Fairy

Its soft and elastic body makes it bounce even in its sleep. On very rare occasions, it apparently practices its singing in its dreams.

Fairy

It rolls around in its shell as it sleeps. Legend has it that happiness will come to those who can successfully stand up a sleeping Togepi.

Fairy

It seems this Pokemon keeps up its tree mimicry in its sleep to avoid being attacked. But apparently, once in a long while, it lets itself go and sleeps laid out on the ground.

Rock

Larvitar feeds on soil. On very rare occasions you might find one holding a half-eaten clump of earth as it sleeps. Perhaps it grew sleepy after filling its belly.

Asleep or awake, this Pokemon never stays still even though it’s a pupa. It’s said that Pupitar may vent gas from its body and launch itself high into the sky like a rocket even while it sleeps.

Rock

This Pokemon has been seen curled up asleep with its light and fluffy wings folded, looking just like a cottony hat. Perhaps Swablu is dreaming of being perched neatly atop someone’s head.

Flying

Even a sleeping Wynaut will always have a big, happy smile on its face. If it’s slapping the ground with its black tail, it may be feeling restless and angry.

Psychic

It’s been found merrily clapping its fins while asleep on its back. It makes you want to ask Spheal what sort of happy things it was dreaming of after it wakes.

Ice

Sealeo’s nose and the white whiskers around it are very sensitive. It’s said that this Pokemon twitches its whiskers and touches them to the ground even while sleeping to sense the environment around it.

Ice

People have observed Bonsly appearing to cry in its sleep. You may worry that something has happened to it, but there’s no need! Bonsly is just expelling water to adjust its body’s fluid level.

Rock

On rare occasions, it’s been found sleeping atop a pantomimed bed. It’s said that even in its sleep, Mime Jr. is putting its heart and soul into mimicking Mr. Mime, who can pantomime all sorts of things.

Psychic

Riolu is said to be tough and hard-working. The unusual position it takes when it sleeps sitting up—without even lying down—is just how Lucario does it. Perhaps Riolu is pushing itself hard, dreaming of the day it will evolve.

Fighting

It grows berries with the texture of frozen treats around its belly when spring approaches. Even if other Pokemon sneak up to eat berries while it sleeps, Snover doesn’t seem to notice.

Ice

Abomasnow sometimes swings its arms even in its sleep, whipping up blizzards. No consensus has been reached among researchers about whether this is a habit to hide itself, or just some sleepy flailing.
