The Pokémon Company has confirmed a cross-promotion between Pokémon Sleep and the anime Pokémon Horizons: The Series, bringing new in-app Pokémon and anniversary rewards to mobile players.
The announcement, shared via the official Pokémon Sleep social channels on July 20–21, 2026, details additions to the iOS and Android app tied to the anime collaboration and the app’s third anniversary.
Pokémon Sleep, developed by Select Button and published by The Pokémon Company, launched on iOS and Android in July 2023 as a sleep-tracking mobile game that converts users’ sleep data into in-game progress.
For this collaboration, the company says new Pokémon will appear in the app and that players can claim special third-anniversary gifts.
Notable additions listed in the announcement include Captain Pikachu and the Fairy-type Tinkatink.
In an official social update, the Pokémon Sleep account summarized the initiative by inviting players to enjoy both the anime and the app: the message encouraged fans to watch Pokémon Horizons, rest well, and encounter Pokémon inside Pokémon Sleep.
That statement frames the collaboration as both a promotional tie-in for the series and an in-app event for fans.
