These new Baskin Robbins x Pokémon treats are being offered by the brand at participating locations in Japan to provide fans with a delicious way to indulge their fandom. The ice cream brand is offering such treats as the Pikachu and Fuecoco Fruit Ice and the Pokémon Double Cup alongside a series of smaller accoutrements. The treats are each themed with a different aspect of the anime franchise in mind and are accented by an array of imagery on the packaging that nods to several of the most popular characters.
The Baskin Robbins x Pokémon treats are arriving alongside the Baskin-Robbins Fresh Pack, the Special Set and more that will all be arriving August 1 through September 4, 2024.
