Pokemon Sleep has been making waves with its innovative gameplay. This game tracks your sleep, forms a healthy and consistent sleeping pattern, and the most attractive part is that it gives you rewards for sleeping. You just have to set the target bedtime, place your device near your pillow, and you will get Pokemon as a reward when you wake up.

If you want the special Nightcap Snorlax costume in Pokemon Go, you have to track your sleep data with Pokemon Sleep for seven consecutive days. However, if you have Pokemon Go Plus+, then you can easily get the costume without any hassle. All you have to do is record the minimum necessary sleep data of 90 minutes and change your phone’s date. After that, record the data again. Repeating this cycle for a few hours will be enough to accumulate the whole week’s sleep data. And this loophole will lead you to the Snorlax costume.

Allure of Reward vs. Point of The Game

The reason people are taking this easy and unethical path is because of the irresistible, ultra-rare Shiny version of the Nightcap Snorlax as their ultimate reward. This exclusive costumed Snorlax is only available if you have access to Pokemon Go Plus+. And the most exciting part is that the odds of finding a Shiny Pokemon are 1/520, which has made people more desperate to use that loophole method. Even though we know the rarity of a Shiny Pokemon, we still don’t know what it takes to find a Shiny Nightcap Snorlax.

Although people are doing this for fun and in the rush of the rewards, they should not forget the main point of Pokemon Sleep. This game is based on the idea of maintaining a sound and healthy sleep schedule. And changing your device’s time repeatedly nullifies the whole concept of the game. By using unethical means, this nap-tracking app has become fast track rewards app.
