Pikachu and other Pokémon evolve into hydration types with Thermos drinkware collaboration [Pics]

Pikachu and other Pokémon have teamed up with Thermos to create hydration-friendly drinkware. Each Pokémon species comes with its own "type" that represents its powers and abilities. For example, Electric-type Pikachu can use attacks like Thunderbolt and Electro Ball, while Fire-type Charizard can use moves such as Inferno and Heat Wave.

To quench your thirst, the collaboration offers 20.3-ounce (600-mililiter) and 8.8-ounce (800-mililiter) vacuum-insulated drink bottles featuring Pikachu, Eevee, Ditto, and Mew. The larger bottles accommodate jumbo-sized Pokémon, like Charmander and Snorlax, while Gengar and Mimikyu are included for their cool designs. These bottles can keep liquids cool at 8 degrees Celsius (46.4 degrees Fahrenheit) or warm at around 71 degrees Celsius for six hours.

For those who prefer flip tops, carrying straps, and multiple Pokémon per container, the 500-mililiter (500-mililiter) bottles are available. These bottles maintain similar temperature retention capabilities but with a different design approach.

When you're not out and about, Thermos also provides insulated covered mugs featuring Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Snorlax, and Ditto. These mugs are perfect for coffee, cocoa, or lemonade breaks at home or work.

If you're in the mood for something beyond drinks, Thermos offers insulated bags in Pikachu, Psuduck, or Mimikyu designs that measure 9.4 inches in length. These bags can keep your corn soup-flavored fried chicken or your boss' frozen hat insulated for a while. Prices for the bottles range from $28 for the 600-mililiter models to $28 for the 800-mililiter and $28 for the 500-mililiter, while the mugs are $28 and the insulated bags are $28. The entire lineup is now available through the Thermos Japan online store.
