Today (February 27) is Pokémon Day. It commemorates the immensely popular monster-catching franchise that has its electric-powered paws in almost every form of media, including anime, movies, trading cards, and of course, video games.
During the Pokémon Day presentation, Game Freak announced new updates to popular mobile games like Pokémon Go and Pokémon Unite, as well as an upcoming Pokémon Trading card game. Perhaps most enticing, is a new entry in the Pokémon Legends series, which is set to launch on Switch next year. And while the fanfare is slowly dying down, there's no better way to keep the spirit of Pokémon Day alive all year round than by picking up one, two, or five of these Pokémon Squishmallows. Because Pikachu and his monster brood have never looked as adorable as when they are in Squishmallow form.
It was only a matter of time before the coziest monsters from the wide world of Pokémon became cozy and huggable Squishmallows. It's the toy collab of the century! These Pokémon Squishmallows are just as popular and universally coveted as other Squishmallows. Some of these plush toys have a hard time staying in stock. Luckily, we've compiled the best Pokemon Squishmallows as well as the various retailers where you can secure one, as a gift or for yourself.
1. Snorlax Squishmallows Plush
Perfect for nap time, and available in 14 and 20-inch sizes.
Snorlax is one of the most iconic Pokémon if only because he's one your mom can likely recognize. Like Pikachu and Meowth, you don't have to be a die-hard fan to appreciate this Pokémon Squishmallow. You can opt for the smaller 14-inch plush or the massive 20-inch plush, and have it take over a small bed or couch.
2. Pikachu Squishmallows Plush
Iconic (and cozy). Available in 14 and 20-inch sizes.
You'll love this Squishmallow. He's wearing a jaunty wink, and his iconic ears poke out just like the "real" mon. Like Snorlax, you can opt for the soft and cuddly 14-inch plush or the Gigantimax-looking 20-inch version.
3. Gengar 10-inch Squishmallows Plush
Intensely popular, intensely adorable.
Gengar, man. The Squishmallows inspired by this ghost-type Pokémon are nearly as rare as Gengar itself. They never stay on store shelves long, and you can almost always expect some markup on Gengar Squishmallows because of it. If you see it in stock, and you want one, make sure to nab it quick.
4. Togepi 14-inch Squishmallows Plush
An egg-cellent cuddle buddy.
There are few Pokémon more suited to become Squishmallows like Togepi. The dude is already egg-shaped! His head is nice and rounded, with spiky tips that smack of a freshly cracked egg.
5. Piplup Squishmallows Plush
Super adorable, and available in 14 and 20-inch sizes.
The water starter Pokémon from Generation IV doesn't have the cultural cache of a Pikachu or a Snorlax, but its cuteness can't be denied. This penguin mon is almost stupid adorable when shrunk down into a 14-inch Squishmallow. He's also available as a massive 20-inch plush, if you're into that sort of thing.
6. Teddiursa Squishmallows Plush
You'll love the squishy version of this normal type teddy bear.
Like Togepi, there are few Pokémon as well suited to becoming Squishmallow like Teddiursa. It's a teddy bear, after all. The most adorable facet of this offering is its adorable round tail.
7. Clefairy Squishmallows Plush
This pink and powerful Squishmallow comes complete with swirly tail.
Back when Pokémon was being conceived, Clefairy was initially going to be the franchise mascot. There was even a tentative Pokémon Pink Version in the works. Clefairy is secretly one of the most iconic mons for this reason, and its equally iconic tail is featured in this Squishmallow.
