Pokemon TCG Pocket Sleep Status Explained

Author : David Update：Mar 04,2025

In Pokémon TCG Pocket, Sleep is a significant hindrance, rendering a Pokémon unable to attack, use abilities, or retreat. While easily cured, its impact can be game-altering. This guide details Sleep's effects and cures.

What is Sleep in Pokémon TCG Pocket?

Sleep prevents a Pokémon from performing any actions until cured. An active Pokémon afflicted with Sleep becomes a vulnerable target.

Curing Sleep

There are primarily two methods for curing Sleep:

  1. Coin Toss: Each turn, a coin toss determines if the Pokémon awakens. This offers a chance of immediate recovery but also the possibility of prolonged Sleep.

  2. Evolution: Evolving a sleeping Pokémon instantly cures the status.

A less common method involves the Koga Trainer card, which returns a sleeping Weezing or Muk to the hand. This is Pokémon-specific.

Sleep-Inducing Cards

Eight cards currently inflict Sleep:

Vileplume (A1 013) Side effect of "Soothing Scent" Genetic Apex (Charizard)
Wigglytuff ex (A1 195) Additional effect of "Sleepy Song" attack Genetic Apex (Pikachu)

Hypno stands out due to its ability to induce Sleep from the bench, making it a powerful support card for Psychic decks. While Frosmoth and Wigglytuff ex are viable, Hypno's effectiveness without hindering other strategies makes it currently the most competitive Sleep-inducing card.
