Krispy Kreme Is Getting 6 New Pokémon-Themed Donuts

Krispy Kreme is rolling out a limited-time collection of 6 Pokémon-themed donuts, beginning August 18 for U.S. and Canadian locations. Five of the doughnuts are inspired by specific Pokémon, including all three Gen 1 starters and two Kanto region favorites. The sixth doughnut takes the form of a classic Poké Ball. These treats will be available as individual purchases or in a 'Specialty Dozen Pack' in select Krispy Kreme stores and via the Krispy Kreme app.

A separate six-pack, omitting Squirtle and Bulbasaur, will be sold at other retailers such as Walmart, Kroger, and Publix.

The full Specialty Dozen comes with a limited-edition Pokémon box, and Krispy Kreme is offering five Pokémon-themed cups for Original Glazed Gold Dots. On August 22, customers donning Pokémon merchandise at a participating Krispy Kreme location will receive a free Original Glazed doughnut. The limited-time collection is part of Pokémon's 30th anniversary celebrations throughout 2026, which include collaborations with companies like Puma, new guide books, and 20 Pokémon-themed LEGO sets. The Pokémon trading card game will also receive a special 30th anniversary release later this year.
