Like we have been doing for the past few new Pokémon releases, we would like to have all posts about the new Pokémon collected into this megathread. The new Pokémon include:

* Latios
* Latias (although not new, mentions of Latias will still trigger the Automod)

For the Latios and the Soul Dew event, any individual posts about the new Pokémon will be removed by the Automod, with a link pointing to this megathread. This includes all questions, discussions, rate my 'mon requests, infographics, and shiny / showing off posts.

**If you have a post, in particular a deep dive analysis discussion or infographic, that you believe deserves its own thread on the main sub, please modmail us. We can easily restore any posts the Automod has removed.**

We hope that this will:

* Make it easier to find the information we're looking for about the new Pokémon, by curating an index of significant posts (both in this megathread and on the main sub), and by having one place to look for answers to questions that may have already been asked, and
* Reduce the clutter in the main sub that normally comes with new Pokémon releases.

Based on additional feedback we've gathered, these restrictions will continue to end when the weekend begins, in conjunction with when the normal Rule 6 restrictions are lifted. Since this is a two-week event, the restrictions will resume when the second week begins.

Happy Sleeping, and best of luck with your hunt for the new Pokémon! 😄

For more information, check the discussion in [the "Where are you going next week?" thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonSleep/comments/1txkmta/the_weekend_is_here_where_are_you_going_for/).
* **Q:** Why can't I use my new Pokémon incense? **A:** Pokémon incense for the new arrival can be used starting Jun. 8, 2026, at 3:00 p.m.
* **Q:** How many friendship points are needed to catch the Pokémon? **A:** Latias and Latios both require thirty friendship points.
* **Q:** What are Latias and Latios Biscuits? **A:** These are special biscuits available in the Event Exchange that will give 6 friendship points when fed to Latias or Latios. They cannot be used on other Pokémon. After the event ends, they will turn into Great Biscuits.
* **Q:** Can the new Pokémon be shiny? **A:** Yes. It takes only one regular Pokébiscuit to catch a shiny Pokémon.
* **Q:** I just caught my first Latias / Latios. Is it good? **A:** For each species of legendary Pokémon, the nature and sub skills will be identical for the first one befriended by each researcher.
* **Q:** Will Latias and Latios show up organically? Or is incense the only way to see them? **A:** They can spawn organically, but the drowsy power requirements are high and the chance is low, even during the event.
* **Q:** Can I use Latias and Latios Incense after the event is over? **A:** Yes, after the event you can use Latias and Latios Incense on islands on which they can spawn. You will still only be able to hold only one of each in your item bag.
* **Q:** Will I be able to use the Event Exchange after the event is over? **A:** Yes, you will be able to use the Event Exchange until Jun. 24 (Wed) at 3:59 a.m.
