For the eighth year running, Pokémon fans can treat their taste buds to sweet delights themed after the beloved franchise. Mister Donut has revealed the latest designs and merchandise for its upcoming annual collaboration, with the fifth-generation Foongus coming in as the featured creature alongside mascot Pikachu.
The collaboration will launch on 5 November in Japan, accompanied by the catchphrase “tamage ta, which translates roughly to “it’s amazing!”, and is a play on the critter’s Japanese name, Tamagatake. The Grass/Poison-type debuted in Pokémon Black & White, and follows in the footsteps of 2020’s Chansey, Eevee (2021), Jigglypuff and Snow Pikachu (2022), Psyduck (2023), and Diglett (2024) as the headliner.
Here’s the full lineup of the menu offerings:
- Fluffy Pikachu Donut (¥341 / S$2.90): a fluffy yeast doughnut filled with whipped cream and topped with custard-flavored flakes and chocolate crunch.
- Amazing Tamagetake Donut (¥341 / S$2.90): a cake doughnut coated with white chocolate and strawberry chocolate, sitting on top of a whipped cream-filled choux pastry glazed in white chocolate.
- Crunchy Pikachu Tail Donut (¥264 / S$2.25): choux pastry coated in white chocolate and yellow crunchy toppings and a pick (not edible) Pikachu tail decoration.
- Amazing Mimikkyu Chocolate Donut (¥231 / S$1.97): a chocolate cake doughnut, filled with custard and whipped cream, and served in a special Mimikyu-themed sleeve.
- Voltorb Donut White (¥226 / S$1.92): cake doughnut sandwiched with custard and whipped cream and covered in white chocolate.
Additionally, the Mister Donut and Pokémon tie-up will offer exclusive merchandise available through two special bundles — the regular goods set (¥2,114 / S$18) and the children’s set (¥1,100 / S$9.37). The former includes two doughnuts of your choice from the collection, one of the outlet’s flagship Pon de Ring doughnuts and your choice of blanket pattern, all wrapped in an original Pokémon paper bag.
As for the latter, the combo comes with one Pokémon doughnut, one Pon de Ring, and a 9cm-tall Pokémon glass packaged in an original paper bag.
The new Pokémon collaboration doughnuts will be available at Mister Donut outlets across Japan starting 5 November until late December, and the goods sets are up for grabs while supplies last.
