  "account": "The Fitbit Air, Google's first faceless fitness tracker, has received a new special edition featuring a Pikachu band and integration with a dedicated Pokémon Sleep app. Priced at $129.99, pre-orders are now available at Google's website.\n\nThe Pokémon Sleep edition of the Fitbit Air sports a sleepy blue colorway, with Pikachu sleeping in a ball on a custom silk-print label. This subtle yet distinctive design appeals to Pokémon fans. Despite occasional missed naps, the tracker offers excellent nighttime sleep tracking and is the most comfortable sleep tracker the reviewer has ever worn.\n\nOnce the Pokémon Sleep app is downloaded and paired with the Google Health app, users can access their sleep activity and unlock interactive rewards. They can form friendships with Pokémons that share similar sleep patterns and collect Berries to boost Snorlax's strength, increasing their Drowsy Power. The app also displays suitable Pokémon based on the user's sleep type.\n\nInterestingly, users do not need to purchase the special Pokémon edition of the Fitbit Air to utilize the app. The sleep experience is compatible with all Google Pixel and Fitbit wearables.",
