Here’s what’s coming:
-
Tree-kachu — Pikachu went all-out this year and straight-up dressed as a holiday tree. The floppy-eared fit features pastel ornaments, a glittery red bow, and a shiny golden Minior sitting on top instead of a regular star.
-
Clodsire Sleigh — Stantler and Sawsbuck can take the year off because Pikachu has a very gallant Clodsire pulling its sleigh this time around. Both of them are rocking matching winter hats, and the back of the golden-trimmed sleigh even sports Pikachu’s signature ears and lightning-bolt tail.
-
Porygon-mobile — Pikachu apparently got its top wishlist item this year and is now flexing on everyone while cruising around in a toy car modeled after an upgraded Porygon.
-
Tangela Cookie — Easily the most relatable one of the batch, this plush catches Pikachu in full holiday snack mode. It’s blissfully munching on a cream-filled Tangela cookie with its eyes closed in pure happiness.
-
Snowman Pikachu — Channeling classic Santa vibes with a floppy cap and a fluffy white beard, Pikachu gets rolled up into a perfect little snowball with its bright red cheeks poking out.
Keep your eyes peeled on the Pokémon Center site over the next few weeks so you can scoop these up before the holiday rush sells them out.
