New Krispy Kreme Pokemon Doughnuts Announced, And You’re Gonna Wanna Eat ‘Em All
Krispy Kreme will launch a limited-time Pokémon Doughnut Collection on August 18, 2026, featuring six themed pastries exclusive to U.S. and Canadian locations. The collection includes five doughnuts based on Pokémon characters—Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Jigglypuff—plus a Poké Ball-inspired design. All five Pokémon represent Generation 1 favorites from the Kanto region.
The Pikachu doughnut features a lemon crème filling topped with “electrifying drizzle” and Pikachu decoration. Charmander offers a chocolate and toasted marshmallow filling, while Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Jigglypuff are rendered as customized original glazed doughnuts. The doughnuts will be sold individually or as a “Specialty Dozen Pack” for approximately $21 at select Krispy Kreme stores and via the mobile app. A variant six-pack available at retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and Publix replaces some Pokémon designs with plain glazed alternatives.
The collaboration exemplifies the growing trend of major food and consumer brands partnering with established entertainment franchises to drive brand engagement and consumer interest.
