Pokémon Doughnuts Hit Krispy Kreme on August 18, 2026

Pokémon and Krispy Kreme Team Up for a Limited-Time Collection

Krispy Kreme is bringing Pokémon fans a new themed treat lineup beginning Tuesday, August 18, 2026. The limited-time collection celebrates 30 years of Pokémon with a series of doughnuts inspired by Pikachu and other familiar characters, along with limited-edition doughnut dots.

The assortment will be available at participating Krispy Kreme locations for a limited time. Fans will also be able to order through the Krispy Kreme app and website for pickup or delivery, with options sold individually and by the dozen.

What Is in the Pokémon Doughnut Collection

The collection includes six doughnuts, each built around a different Pokémon theme. Krispy Kreme outlined the full lineup as follows:

• Bulbasaur Doughnut - An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in vanilla-flavored icing and topped with frosting and a Bulbasaur piece.
• Charmander Doughnut - An unglazed shell doughnut filled with chocolate and toasted marshmallow-flavored filling, dipped in orange-colored caramel icing and sparks of red and gold sugar, and topped with a Charmander piece.
• Squirtle Doughnut - An Original Glazed doughnut piped with cotton candy-flavored buttercreme, dipped in sanding sugar and nonpareils, and topped with a surfing Squirtle piece.
• Pikachu Doughnut - An unglazed shell doughnut filled with lemon-flavored Kreme filling, dipped in vanilla icing, decorated with electrifying drizzle and nonpareils, and topped with a Pikachu piece.
• Jigglypuff Doughnut - An Original Glazed doughnut piped with strawberry-flavored buttercreme, sprinkled with strawberry-flavored cookie, and topped with a Jigglypuff piece.
• Poké Ball Doughnut - An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in vanilla-flavored icing and red sprinkles and piped with chocolate icing.

The collection gives each doughnut a distinct color scheme and flavor profile tied to the featured Pokémon, with a mix of Original Glazed bases, filled shells, and decorated toppings.

Original Glazed Gold Pokémon Dots Also Join the Release

In addition to the doughnuts, Krispy Kreme will offer Original Glazed Gold Pokémon Dots. These bite-sized treats will be served in a limited-edition Pokémon cup with rotating designs.

The source announcement does not provide additional details on the cup designs or whether the dots will be sold separately from the main doughnut lineup, beyond noting that they are part of the overall Pokémon offering.

How the Pokémon Doughnuts Will Be Sold

Krispy Kreme says the Pokémon Doughnut Collection will be available in-shop and through pickup or delivery via the Krispy Kreme app and website. The doughnuts will be sold individually and by the dozen.

Fans will also be able to preorder the dozen through Krispy Kreme catering, which the company notes is exclusive to catering sizes only. The preorder option is available at Krispy Kreme's catering site.

For customers looking for a smaller bundled option, Krispy Kreme will offer a six-pack box featuring one Charmander Doughnut, one Pikachu Doughnut, one Jigglypuff Doughnut, one Poké Ball Doughnut, and two Original Glazed Doughnuts.

Limited-Time Pokémon Promotion Ties Into 30th Anniversary Plans

The collaboration is part of Pokémon's 30th anniversary celebration, giving the brand another food-themed promotion tied to one of the world's most recognizable entertainment franchises. The Krispy Kreme announcement highlights the connection to beloved Pokémon characters while centering the product around a limited-time bakery release.

For collectors and fans of branded collaborations, the release adds another example of how major pop culture properties continue to expand beyond traditional merchandise into food and retail promotions. In this case, the focus is on a dessert lineup built around character recognition, bright colors, and familiar Krispy Kreme doughnut styles.

Availability Notes for Fans Planning a Visit

The collection begins on August 18, 2026, and will be offered for a limited time at participating Krispy Kreme shops. Because availability is limited, the exact selection may vary by location, and the company directs customers to participating stores, the app, the website, and catering for ordering options.

With six themed doughnuts, limited-edition Pokémon Dots, and a six-pack box built around the character lineup, the promotion gives Pokémon fans several ways to try the release while it lasts.
