The Sandshrew Bundle Breakdown Whether you are a casual sleeper logging a few hours or a hardcore sleep researcher maximizing your Snorlax’s Drowsy Power, there is a bundle tier tailored for every diamond budget.
| Bundle Tier | Cost | Key Contents | Purchase Limit |
| Small (S) | 250 Diamonds | 5x Poké Biscuits, 5x Handy Candy S | 3 per user |
| Medium (M) | 1,200 Diamonds | 6x Great Biscuits, 2x Sandshrew Incense, 50x Sandshrew Candy | 1 per user |
| Large (L) | 3,000 Diamonds | 10x Great Biscuits, 4x Sandshrew Incense, 1x Main Skill Seed, 130x Sandshrew Candy | 1 per user |
Quick Take: Which Bundle Is Actually Worth It? To help you spend your hard-earned Diamonds wisely, here is our strategic breakdown of each tier:
- For The Sandshrew Hunter (Bundle M): If you are dying to find a rare Shiny Sandshrew or one with the perfect sub-skills, the Medium Bundle is your absolute best middle-ground. It guarantees direct encounters through the included Incense and provides you with enough specific candy to evolve it into Sandslash quickly.
- For The Power Player (Bundle L): While the Large Bundle is undeniably pricey, the inclusion of a highly coveted Main Skill Seed is a massive game-changer for high-level competitive play. This makes it the premium “whale” choice of the festival for those looking to max out their top-tier Pokémon.
- For The Budget Researcher (Bundle S): Grab the Small Bundles if you just want to top up on those essential extra biscuits. Any experienced player knows that you can never have enough Poké Biscuits when a super rare, hungry spawn decides to show up after a good night’s sleep!
TrainerLoot Pro Tip: Remember that Sandshrew only appears in specific research areas. Make sure to set your Sandshrew Incense in the correct map location to ensure he actually pops up for a nap!
Happy sleeping, and good luck with your Spring Festival research!
