Pokemon Sleep is a fun new project developed by Niantic and Select Button. There have been concerns over whether the game is safe because of its necessity to access the microphone. But this has not dampened the fans' spirits in the least bit, and they have been busy exploring all kinds of new mechanics in the game.
Pokemon Sleep has two types of currency: Sleep Points and Diamonds. Sleep Points are easily obtainable, and they can be considered a free-to-play currency. Pokemon Sleep players can acquire sleep points by sleeping, and they get 100 additional points via the Premium Pass. Diamonds, though, are a bit more complicated to obtain.
Buying Diamonds
Diamonds are more of a luxury currency that players can find in Pokemon Sleep. The easiest way to get diamonds is by purchasing them from the shop. Players can simply click on Shops, then General Store, where they will find all the items that can be purchased with diamonds. After scrolling all the way down to the bottom, they will find diamond packs.
Diamond packs start at 60 diamonds and go up to 7,000 diamonds. In the table below, players can find diamond packs along with their rates in the US, Europe, and the United Kingdom.
Diamonds | US | UK | Europe |
|---|---|---|---|
60 | $1.19 | £0.99 | €1.19 |
260 | $4.79 | £3.99 | €4.79 |
620 | $10.99 | £9.19 | €10.99 |
1500 | $23.99 | £19.99 | €23.99 |
3100 | $47.99 | £39.99 | €47.99 |
7000 | $97.99 | £80.99 | €97.99 |
Given the prices, players are advised to avoid buying diamonds even if the items in the General Shop look appealing. So, how can players get diamonds instead of buying them?
How To Get Diamonds For Free
By being dedicated, players can actually rack up a lot of diamonds in a short time. These are the easiest ways to obtain diamonds:
- Completing Sleep Style Dex Missions
- Finding New Berries and New Ingredients
- Cooking New Dishes
- Completing Regular Missions
Sleep Style Dex Missions
The first method requires players to go to sleep and try to hit 100 points daily. This helps to attract different types of Pokemon, making it easier to fill up the Sleep Style Dex.
Berries, Ingredients, & Dishes
Finding berries and ingredients, and cooking dishes, are linked to befriending new Pokemon. Each Pokemon picks up a specific type of berry and ingredient. By assigning newly caught Pokemon to the helper teams, players can ensure that they will get access to fresh berries and other items. Using the ingredients, players can cook new dishes for their Snorlax.
Once players find a berry or an ingredient for the first time, they have to simply head to the Main Menu, click on Notes, and select Berries or Ingredients. Players will immediately get a pop-up message stating the number of diamonds they have acquired. Registering a new berry, ingredient, or dish gives players 20 diamonds. Making a dish for the first time also gives diamonds.
Regular Missions
The regular missions icon can be found beside the Sleep Pass on the left side of the screen. Upon clicking on the icon, players will find different tasks that they have to complete to earn diamonds.
In conclusion, it is better to avoid purchasing diamonds, as players can get a decent amount from just playing the game regularly. Also, it is better to buy the Premium Pass, which provides a lot more benefits.
Pokemon Sleep is now available on iOS and Android.
