Pokémon Sleep
The next update for Pokémon Sleep has been announced. This is version 1.0.7 and comes with a variety of fixes. First, you can now use multiple Dream Shards at once rather than one at a time. You can also go straight to the bag screen when you try to receive mission rewards when your bag is full.
There is also a fix where the Pokémon's energy may appear over 100 and a bug where the Helper Pikachu may not give you a higher reward amount despite being at a higher level and a bug where if you do research with the GO Plus + after moving to a new island and cooking, the Sleep Research wouldn't match the energy
