The Tonies x Pokémon Collab Is Here & We Gotta Catch 'Em All
Screen-free playtime just leveled up!
Tonies and Pokémon have joined forces, and we gotta catch ‘em all!
The Tonies x Pokémon collection is officially available for pre-order starting Aug. 12, giving parents (and aunts, uncles, and anyone else looking to win favorite-adult status) first dibs before it hits shelves later this month.
But you may want to move fast. Pokémon fans are a notoriously dedicated bunch, and between the nostalgia factor and the first-gen starter lineup, this feels like exactly the kind of collab that sells out before naptime is even over.
The line is dropping in celebration of Pokémon's 30th anniversary and features four first-generation favorites reimagined as Tonies: Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander. Each one comes packed with brand-new, audio-first stories and adventures you can't get anywhere else, plus Trainer Academy facts and Pokémon battles.
There's also a Pikachu-inspired Lightning Yellow Toniebox 2 to go with them, because if you're going all in on the fandom, you might as well go all-in!
Here's what you can pre-order right now, starting today at tonies.com and Walmart:
The full squad: the Lightning Yellow Toniebox 2 plus all four character Tonies (Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur), each loaded with new stories, Trainer Academy facts, and battles.
The Lightning Yellow Toniebox 2 plus a Pikachu Tonie, so you can start the collection without committing to all four characters on day one.
A 4-pack of characters is available if you cannot settle on just one! Join Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander for high-energy Pokémon adventures, Trainer Academy facts and exciting battles.
Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle are also sold separately, each with three brand-new stories built around teamwork, curiosity, and courage (and yes, a battle in every one).
Pre-orders open today at tonies.com with the official sale date landing on Aug. 22.
Worth noting: The Toniebox is technically built for ages 1 to 12+, which is Tonies' polite way of saying grown-ups are allowed to get a little too invested in this one too. If your kid has been begging for a screen for the car, the plane, or just five minutes of peace at home, this is about to become your new go-to.
