Reward for Pairing Pokemon Sleep With Pokemon GO Plus

Once you have paired Pokemon Sleep with the Pokemon GO Plus device, you will be rewarded with an adorable version of Pikachu wearing a little sleep nightcap. They will level up your Snorlax along with you and I believe that is highly worth pairing the device for. You can also have your Pokemon GO Plus device track your sleep data in Pokemon GO via the Pokemon Sleep app if you so wish.

If you want to enable this feature, open up Pokemon GO and navigate to the “Accessory Devices” menu again. Scroll down until you reach “Sleep Data” and then simply tap on “Share Sleep Data With Pokemon GO” and you will be ready to go. Of course, you will likely want to do that after you have the cute Pokemon Sleep Pikachu secured as your Snorlax leveling friend.
