The lifestyle and gaming organization [100 Thieves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100-thieves-5) has entered into a second collaborative endeavor with [The Pokémon Company International](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pottery-barn-kids-2) to produce a new range of apparel. This collection integrates the aesthetic of contemporary streetwear with characters and themes from the Pokémon franchise.

The 100 Thieves x The Pokémon Company International product line consists of a variety of chic, fashion-forward garments, including double-kneed carpenter pants, jerseys, a reversible vest, a flannel jacket, t-shirts, hoodies, and a crewneck sweatshirt. The designs incorporate numerous fan-favorite Pokémon — from Pikachu and Gengar to Mewtwo and Charizard.

The 100 Thieves x The Pokémon Company International capsule was first made available through a temporary retail location in Los Angeles on October 24th and a digital release on the 100 Thieves website followed on October 25th, 2025.
