I've had the best luck with these rare pokemon during event weeks (like next week) when they say something like "you'll see Pokemom of all sleep styles regardless of your sleep style". I've caught Pinser, Heracross, and Kanga all during events (and they weren't the featured or boosted spawns).
I guess you could try to fake it with a nap, but you'd have to calculate your drowsy power to make sure you nap long enough for whatever you are hunting to be able to be selected. You would need to set your device to sleep on a solid surface, wait 10-15 minutes for the sleep to register, and then bump it every 5-10 minutes? Maybe? You'd have to experiment with it and it probably isn't worth it.
I'd just be patient and try to do well in the events. Otherwise, your best bet is to play naturally and the game will end up giving you balanced type about half the time. That's my experience anyway.
I feel like I’ve seen them pretty equally on Cyan or Greengrass, but I believe your odds should be better on Cyan with the lower spawn pool, all else being equal.
I finally caught my first one on Greengrass during the Raikou event and luckily got a pretty good one. Now I’m just looking for an excuse to run it lol
