🎃 Sleep It Off Ep. 29 — Trick-or-Sleep! Pumpkaboo Pops Early & Legends ZA Review (Spoiler-Free) It’s spooky season, Sleep Researchers! 👻 Justin and Luis are back after a short hibernation to talk all things Pokémon Sleep Halloween 2025, including the surprise early release of Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist, a new plump pumpkin ingredient, and meta-defining recipes for the event! We dig into how to prep your Sleep teams, whether to farm in Greengrass Isle or Expert, and why your ghost Pokémon are about to shine brighter (and carry more ingredients than ever). Then, in a special spoiler-free segment, we dive into Pokémon Legends Z-A, giving our honest thoughts on the story, world design, and real-time battle system — plus, what makes it feel fresh even compared to the main series. Finally, we close with our fan-favorite DreamDex Detective, where Justin tries to solve this week’s mystery Pokémon. 🌙 Grab your extra candy, a good camping ticket, and settle in for a cozy, pumpkin-spiced episode of Sleep It Off. 02:00 Pokémon Sleep Halloween Event Overview 04:30 New Pokémon: Pumpkaboo & Gourgeist Reveal 06:30 Early Sightings & Event Details 08:30 New Ingredient: Plump Pumpkin + Recipes 10:00 Catching Strategy: Regular vs. Expert Islands 14:00 Pumpkaboo Sizes & Carry Limits Explained 15:00 Data-Mined Recipes & Meta Implications 18:30 Skill Triggers, Cooking Tips & Optimization 21:00 Ghost-Type Boosts & Candy Bonuses 24:00 Shiny Ghost Flexes & Candy Investments 29:30 Inventory & Pot Expansion Updates 32:00 Mid-Episode Nap Break 35:00 DreamDex Detective: Guess the Grass Type 40:00 Pokémon Legends Z-A Spoiler-Free Review 50:30 Future DLC & Final Thoughts Pokémon Sleep Halloween 2025 News: pokemonsleep.net Pokémon Legends Z-A Official Site: pokemon.com Join the community: patreon.com/pokemonprofessor [e-mail] Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639 https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork Music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com Intro Music The Pokémon Center https://gamechops.com/pokemon-center/ Produced by Super Lofi 64 https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ziVhjovm4K0d5CLqpHsQG Mastered by Dj Cutman https://soundcloud.com/DjCUTMAN Composed by Junichi Matsuda Originally from Pokémon (series) Outro Music Jedi Vibes Produced by Helynt Mastered by Ohad Nissim Composed by John Williams, Kevin Kiner, Ludwig Göransson Originally from Star Wars https://gamechops.com/jedi-vibes/ https://www.instagram.com/ohadnissimmastering/ https://www.youtube.com/user/helynt1 Hosts Luis Palacios Justin Keller Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2024Pokémon Professor and Sleep It Off are not affiliated with Select Button, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or Nintendo #pokemon #pokemonsleep #podcast Learn more about your ad choices.
