==Candy Cram-o-matic==
The Candy Cram-o-matic (Japanese: アメウッウロボ Candy Uurobo) is an event-exclusive feature introduced during the from June 17 - 24, 2024. The Candy Cram-o-matic allows players to convert 40 of any Pokémon candies into 1 Type Candy M item of a random Pokémon type. Rarely, the Candy Cram-o-matic has a chance to have a "Great Success", yielding 2 Type Candy M instead of 1.(June 6, 2024). "Event: Summer Festival." Pokémon Sleep Official Webpage (archived June 16, 2024).
The Type Candy M received from the Candy Cram-o-matic can be influenced by the type of Pokémon candy used. For example, using 40 Bulbasaur Candies (Grass-type) makes a slightly better chance of yielding a Grass-Type Candy M, while using 30 Bulbasaur Candies and 10 Pikachu Candies (Electric-type) makes a slightly better chance of yielding a Grass-Type Candy M and a very slightly better chance of yielding an Electric-Type Candy M.
The Candy Cram-o-matic can be used up to 4 times each day. When the player taps on the Candy Cram-o-matic for the first time, Professor Neroli will explain how the feature works and gift the player 40 Pikachu Candies and 1,000 Dream Shards to start with. Dream Shards are required to be paid in order to use the Cram-o-matic, the amount of which increases after each use (resetting daily), as follows.

The Candy Cram-o-matic visually and functionally resembles the Cram-o-matic from the games.
==Trivia==
* Unused sprites for Candy previously existed in the game's files, although the Pokémon itself is currently not available. This sprite was removed sometime prior to version 1.0.12. A sprite for Dratini Candy was also similarly unused until the Pokémon was added to the game in version 1.1.0.
