Slapping Pokémon onto frosting isn't exactly new territory, but rounding up six classic characters at once—complete with limited-edition cups and packaging—is Krispy Kreme going all in. This collab celebrating Pokémon's 30th anniversary stars Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Jigglypuff, and a Poké Ball-shaped doughnut—six uniquely decorated treats that together read like a mini Pokédex.
Beyond the individual doughnuts, the lineup has another highlight: five collectible cups featuring different character designs, each filled with ten Original Glazed Gold Dots. These will roll out as 12-count boxed sets, with some retail locations also offering 6-count packs for anyone who just wants a quick taste.
For die-hard fans, Saturday, August 22 is where the real Easter egg drops—show up at participating locations in Pokémon-themed cosplay and get a free Original Glazed Doughnut. It's the kind of "you have to dress up to unlock it" deal that feels less like a discount and more like a secret handshake for longtime trainers.
The Krispy Kreme x Pokémon doughnut lineup officially launches August 18, 2026 at participating U.S. locations, online, and via the app, with pre-orders opening early on August 13.
