Pokémon Sleep announced that they will be giving out a Returning Researcher Bonus to players who are coming back to play Pokémon Sleep after being away for a while.

Outline

We’re giving out a Returning Researcher Bonus to players who are coming back to play Pokémon Sleep after being away for a while! In addition to special gifts—including 10 Poké Biscuits—each qualifying researcher will get perks, such as a hungry Pokémon showing up during sleep research!

And as a token of our gratitude, we’ll also be sending special gifts to all the researchers who have been playing Pokémon Sleep regularly! We hope these perks and gifts help you out and that you’ll continue to enjoy sleep research with Snorlax and other Pokémon.
