The Pokémon Center has just rolled outa whopping 20 newPokémonplushesfor fans to get their hands on. There’s a lot of diversity in the new class, but the vast majority originates from the Alola region.
Four out of the 20 new options are fresh Alolan form Pokémon plushes that were reinvented inPokémon SunandPokémon Moon. If you’re unfamiliar, these titles take place in Alola, an in-universe region based upon Hawaii. Because of the geological differences, many Pokémon from Alola evolved differently,giving players a unique take on a ton of previously known species. Now, you’re able to get a select number of these Alolan Pokémon in plush form.
Alolan Form Pokémon Plushes
Alolan Marowak, Alolan Dugtrio, Alolan Persian, and Alolan Sandshrew
Of the four new Alolan form Pokémon plushes,the Alolan Marowakhasto be the coolest. This take on the “Bone Keeper Pokémon” is an inspired one. The creature takes the bone it normally carries and lights both ends on fire to replicate that of a Samoan Siva Afi (fire dance).This iteration of Marowakis a fire/ghost type instead of its typical ground type.
TheAlolan Dugtriois also a radical diversion from the original “Mole Pokémon”.TheSunandMooncreation takes on the tone of some blonde-haired surfer bros. In addition to the Pokémon’s typical ground type, it also has steel abilities in this Alola form.
TheAlolan Persian Poke Plushis sure to be a fan favorite. This take on the “Classy Cat Pokémon” is dramatically different from the original normal type.It seems modeled after the Cheshire CatfromAlice in Wonderland, which would make sense, seeing as this Alolan version is a dark type.
Finally, the last new Alolan Poke plush isAlolan Sandshrew. Instead of featuring its normal yellow/brown coloring and ground-type abilities, this Pokémon now sports beautiful white coloring and is an ice and steel type.It’s one of the most adorable Poke plushes out there.
