BOSS Coffee Unveils Limited Edition Pokédex-Themed Pokémon 30th Anniversary Cans

Japanese beverage manufacturer Suntory has revealed a new collaboration between its popular “BOSS Coffee” brand and Pokémon.

This exciting crossover introduces a special collection of “Pokémon Pokédex Cans” to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the monster-catching title.

Since the original release of the games in February 1996, the series has grown into a massive global phenomenon.

Players explore diverse regions, battling and befriending a huge variety of unique creatures on their journey to become a champion.

To celebrate this incredible thirty-year milestone, Suntory is completely revamping the packaging of its five core canned coffee blends.

The theme of this special event encourages fans to “discover something new” in their everyday coffee.

The sides of these special cans feature colorful illustrations alongside detailed Pokédex information for various iconic creatures.

Fans will be able to find Pikachu and Eevee alongside the fan-favorite starter trios from the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova regions.

Coffee lovers will also be pleased to know that the Rainbow Mountain Blend and Luxurious Slightly Sweet varieties are receiving a flavor renewal alongside the packaging update.

In addition to the new can designs, Suntory is running exciting promotional campaigns offering exclusive themed merchandise.

By purchasing eligible six-packs, buyers can enter a lottery to win one of three highly unique “Boss-jan” jackets.

These incredibly rare clothing items are inspired by Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, featuring creative built-in accessories like a flower-carrying backpack, a glowing LED light, and a functional water gun.

A separate QR code campaign will also offer fans the chance to win special footprint-themed t-shirts.
