The Catching Some Z's Event Introduces Komala Today In Pokémon GO
Niantic introduces Nightcap Snorlax, new species Komala, and bonuses for the GO Plus+ in the new Pokémon GO Catching Some Z's event.
A new costumed Snorlax wearing a nightcap and Komala, a species from the Alola region, make their debut in Pokémon GO today. This is all for the Catching Some Z's event which ties into the release of Pokémon Sleep and the GO Plus+ device. If you have said device, be sure to key into bonus Research that you can obtain. Let's get into the details.
Here's what's happening starting today in the Catching Some Z's event in Pokémon GO:

- Special Research: Niantic writes:
- "Using Pokémon GO Plus + will let you play Pokémon GO without staring at your phone. Using the auto-throw function, you'll be able to automatically throw Poké Balls at wild Pokémon, while the auto-spin function automatically spins PokéStops. You can also adjust the settings to switch between throwing Great Balls or Ultra Balls. After you pair the Pokémon GO Plus + with Pokémon GO, you'll be able to take on Special Research that leads to an encounter with Snorlax wearing a nightcap! This Snorlax looks like it'll sleep so soundly—we hope catching it makes your own naps even nicer! You can also use Pokémon GO Plus + to easily track your sleep with Pokémon Sleep. Just press the center button and place it by your pillow. Connecting your Pokémon GO Plus + to Pokémon GO will allow you to enjoy some new features based on your sleep data! For more details, please see the Pokémon GO Plus + website. This Special Research will continue to be available and can be claimed after the Catching Some Z's event ends.
