Gotta Drink ‘Em All! Pilkul 400 Celebrates Pokémon with 22 Limited-Edition Packages
Japanese probiotic drink brand Pilkul 400 (produced by Nissin York) has announced an exciting new collaboration with Pokémon! In celebration of the franchise’s upcoming 30th anniversary, a total of 51 Kanto region Pokémon will grace 22 limited-edition package designs hitting supermarket shelves across Japan starting November 2.
Classic Kanto Favorites and a Clever Pokédex Cameo
This release marks the largest package lineup in Pilkul’s history. Fans can look forward to seeing iconic pocket monsters on their daily probiotic drinks, including:
- Original Starters: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle
- Fan-Favorite Icons: Pikachu, Gengar, and Eevee
- Special Guest: Bibarel, cleverly included because its National Pokédex number is #400 to match Pilkul 400!
Lineup & Campaign Details
The special packaging will be available across multiple Pilkul 400 product lines, including 10-pack 65ml bottle sets and 455ml cartons. Alongside the release, Nissin York is hosting a campaign offering exclusive merchandise—such as branded blankets, cooler bags, and sticker sets—to lucky winners who purchase the collaboration products in Japan.
