At this point, the Pokemon franchise is no stranger to some wild collaborations. Those pesky Pocket Monsters have already teamed up with some established brands and institutions such as the Van Gogh Museum, Santa Cruz Skateboards, fashion company Fendi, and even the bespoke jewelry brand Tiffany & Co.
Well, it seems things are heating up in the Pokemon world, as the latest collaboration is with established kitchenware company Le Creuset. The companies have unveiled a special Pokemon x Le Creuset line including, pots, cups, and even a Pikachu-themed kettle.
The announcement was shared by multiple outlets including Pokeshopper.net, and reactions to the crossover have been overwhelmingly positive from eager Pokemon fans. Underneath one post, comments call the release “beautiful” while another person added, “oh my god i need them all.”
Another comment excitedly adds, “screaming crying throwing up I need this” before someone else commented, “I NEED THAT KETTLE.” However, any people in the US hoping to get their hands on these exclusive items may be in for a bit of a shock.
At the time of writing, this Pokemon X Le Creuset collaboration is only confirmed for Japan and select Asian and Oceanic countries (via PokeJungle) and will be released on July 17, 2024.

While some of the more unique Pokemon collaborations occasionally make their way to Western shores, Japan-exclusive items often remain exactly that, leaving only select import shops such as Meccha Japan the only option for any hopeful Pokemon fans.
After a post from Pokemon Restocks clarified that the set is only planned for Japan, Pokemon fans added some deflated comments, seemingly let down by the news. “Japan gets all the cool stuff, damn” said one comment, while a comment underneath a separate post said, “Will this make its way to the states? I need those mugs.”
While Pokemon fans outside of Japan can’t get hold of the Le Creuset collaboration right now, be sure to check out our guides covering the next TCG set heading to the West like our article explaining where to buy the Pokemon TCG Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box.
