Pokemon Sleep Is Adding Mew

Pokemon Sleep is adding one of the franchise’s most iconic Mythical Pokemon to the sleeping app, allowing fans to find Mew. The mobile game, created by developer Select Button in cooperation with The Pokemon Company, certainly serves as one of the most unique Pokemon games available from the franchise, designed to help players track their sleeping habits. A variety of creatures visit the player and their Snorlax companion while they sleep within the game, also providing helpful information about their sleep patterns. Pokemon Sleep has featured multiple Legendaries and Mythical Pokemon as nighttime visitors as well.

Pokemon Sleep has added many new creatures to the game since its original debut in July 2023. Pokemon Sleep regularly features events with featured Pokemon visiting the player in their sleep, including 2025’s Darkrai vs. Cresselia event, tasking players with stacking up Drowsy Power to defeat the Dark-type Legendary. The game has proven to be a surprisingly popular app for many fans, with The Pokemon Company confirming Pokemon Sleep had surpassed 28 million downloads during its second anniversary in 2025. Now, one of Pokemon‘s most recognizable creatures is coming to Pokemon Sleep for the franchise’s 30th anniversary.
