The image was shared by food insider account Snackolator on X (formerly Twitter) on July 25, 2026, and shows a six-pack of assorted doughnuts in branded Pokémon packaging alongside what look like two Original Glazed doughnuts.
Snackolator did not provide confirmed flavors or an official release date, saying the doughnuts' arrival at stores "could be this week, could be a little while yet." In journalistic terms, the leaker suggested the assortment is expected soon but cautioned that timing may vary by market.
Neither Krispy Kreme nor The Pokémon Company has issued an official announcement to confirm the collaboration or supply additional details.
Krispy Kreme has previously produced Pokémon-themed assortments, though those releases were limited to international markets.
The company ran a Pokémon doughnut promotion in Australia in 2021 and a separate collaboration in South Korea in 2016.
To date, Krispy Kreme has not launched an official Pokémon assortment in the United States.
The Pokémon brand is managed by The Pokémon Company and spans video games, trading cards and wide-ranging brand partnerships.
Pokémon video game titles continue to be a major presence on Nintendo platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, and the franchise frequently appears in cross-promotional campaigns with food and retail partners worldwide.
Recent years have seen collaborations between Pokémon and other food brands, underscoring the franchise's global marketing footprint.
At present, the only verified information is the Snackolator image posted on July 25, 2026 and the historical record of Krispy Kreme Pokémon assortments in Australia (2021) and South Korea (2016).
We will monitor official channels from Krispy Kreme and The Pokémon Company for confirmation, release dates, and flavor details and will report back when those details are released.
For readers tracking brand tie-ins, this leak is notable for the characters included—Pikachu, Charmander and Jigglypuff are franchise stalwarts and frequent subjects of merchandising—and for the possibility of a broader rollout should an official announcement follow.
