Biscuit

A biscuit (Japanese: サブレ Sable) is a type of item in Pokémon Sleep used to befriend Pokémon during sleep research. The main obtainable biscuits have designs based on the different types of Poké Balls. Special event biscuits with unique designs help players befriend specific Pokémon and are generally more effective. By feeding Pokémon biscuits and befriending them, that specific species' friendship level will increase, which allows the player to befriend stronger Pokémon of that species in the future; species friendship resets after a Pokémon of that species reaches max friendship points.

A Poké Biscuit in Pokémon Sleep

Uses

Snack Time in Pokémon Sleep

After the player completes a sleep session, the game will proceed to "Snack Time", in which the player is allowed to give biscuits to the Pokémon that have gathered around Snorlax. Each Pokémon has a friendship gauge, which is filled by giving them biscuits. If a Pokémon's friendship gauge is completely filled, the prompt "Max Friendship Points!" will appear, and the Pokémon will be added to the player's Pokémon Box.

Each biscuit provides the amount of friendship points indicated on their item descriptions, although there is a rare chance for each biscuit to have a 3× multiplier applied to its friendship point yield. Occasionally, a Pokémon will have the "Hungry" (Japanese: チャンス Chance) notice above their head, which guarantees that the next biscuit fed to it will have its friendship point yield multiplied by 3. These Pokémon also have an increased chance of having their meter completely filled when fed. Shiny Pokémon encountered during sleep research will always be hungry, and their friendship gauge will max out instantly if fed, regardless of the type of biscuit used.

There is no limit to the number of biscuits that can be fed to a Pokémon each day. However, there is a chance for each Pokémon to be full (indicated by the "All Full!" notice above the Pokémon) after the second biscuit fed to it, indicating that the Pokémon can no longer be fed biscuits.

Once the friendship gauge is filled for a Pokémon, it will be reset for other Pokémon of its kind. If a biscuit overfills the gauge, any leftover points will not be carried over to the next gauge. Multiples of the same Pokémon appearing during Snack Time share the same friendship gauge; thus, if a player feeds a biscuit to one of them, the others will have their gauges filled as well, which will also carry over to future sessions. This mechanic allows the player to befriend a Pokémon if another of its kind is already full.

Bonus Biscuit mechanics

Every day during the first sleep session, the player is given one Bonus Biscuit, which gives 3 friendship points when fed to a Pokémon. If the player has the Premium Pass active, the Bonus Biscuit will be replaced by the visually identical Premium Bonus Biscuit, which gives 4 friendship points instead. No Bonus Biscuits are given for the second sleep session of the day.

If a player forgets to track their sleep during a given day, the player may log their sleep manually from the menu. If they do, they are eligible to receive an extra Bonus Biscuit on the next day they do sleep research, making them receive two Bonus Biscuits. However, if the player then tracks their sleep on the same day they manually log their sleep (effectively making it a second sleep session), the extra Bonus Biscuit will be voided. (A day in Pokémon Sleep is a 24-hour period of time from 4:00 a.m. to 3:59 a.m.)

Bonus Biscuits cannot be stored in the inventory. If a player finishes a Snack Time session without using their Bonus Biscuit, the game will automatically feed it to one of the encountered Pokémon at random.

Event-exclusive biscuits

Event-exclusive biscuits are named after specific Pokémon, and can only be fed to those Pokémon. These event-exclusive biscuits give 6 friendship points when fed to this species. These biscuits are stored in the inventory only for the duration of the event; any event-exclusive biscuits left in the inventory when the event finishes will be automatically converted to Great Biscuits. As of present, these biscuits have only been used during legendary research events. Their designs are based on the Pokémon's type, such as Raikou Biscuit's being based on lightning bolts, or Entei biscuits being based on a flame.
