Good morning and good sleep, researchers — welcome back to Sleep It Off Episode 34! Justin and Luis break down the Pokémon Sleep Valentine’s Day event (hello Cutiefly & Ribombee), what the bonuses mean for cooking, and what ingredient Pokémon you should expect to see more often.

Then we make things spicy: introducing the Roulette Challenge (aka the Wheel of Misfortune) where the wheel decides our islands and specialist focus—and we talk through how we’ll build teams around the results. We also get into real progression talk: level 60 realities, ingredient metas, and how to keep the game fun when you’ve been playing for a long time.

As always: if you enjoy the show, you can find us on YouTube (Pokémon Professor), Spotify, and your favorite podcast app. You can support the network via the Patreon, hop into the Discord, and leaving a review helps a ton — and remember: five stars are the best stars.

Event reminder: The Valentine’s event starts Monday, February 9 (4:00 AM local reset). We’ll be chasing the new Pokémon, cooking hard, and seeing if the Roulette Challenge makes us regret everything.
