Pokemon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d and Pichu Will Be Exclusive to Disney+

The upcoming stop-motion animated series, Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d and Pichu, has been revealed to be exclusive to Disney+ and DisneyXD. This charming and humorous show follows the two Pokémon as they embark on a quest to protect Pokémon across Galar, with their adventures often taking unexpected turns. The series is a collaboration between The Pokémon Company International and Aardman Animations, a British stop-motion animation studio renowned for their work on Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep.

With a team of 262 people working on the project, each animator contributes around 13.5 frames per week, and an episode takes approximately 110 weeks to complete. Three episodes are in production at any given time to maximize efficiency. The series is set to premiere on Disney+ and DisneyXD in 2027, accompanied by an official trailer and animation tests.

The main antagonist, Escavalier, is described as a knight who can challenge and compete with Sirfetch’d.
