Pokémon Sleep

Pokémon Sleep is where the Pokémon GO Plus + comes into its own. With this device synced to the Pokémon Sleep app, it will be able to track sleep patterns without the need for your phone to be n the bed with you. By tapping the button, it will start the cycle and tap the button again to the end the sleep cycle and re-sync to the game

There is a Pikachu in the Pokémon GO Plus + which will react to you, sing to you and more with more interactions becoming possible as you get more days of sleep. This Pikachu will also appear as a Helper Pokémon in the game and has a Night Cap

If you have also been using the GO Plus + with Pokémon GO, then you will receive a certain amount of Berries based upon how many PokéStops you have spun with the GO Plus + since you last connected the device.
