Gotta collect ‘em all—Le Creuset’s Pokémon collab is a dream for fans.
As one of the premier cookware brands, Le Creuset’s collections never go unnoticed. Whether they’re launching a new color, bringing back an old favorite, or debuting a completely new line of cookware, you can guarantee there will be lots of commotion.
Recently, Le Creuset teamed up with Japanese snack subscription box service Bokksu to create a line of Pokémon-themed products, including cookware and dinnerware. While it’s not what longtime fans of the brand may have expected, it is generating significant excitement.
If you’re of a certain age, you likely remember the Pokémon craze that swept the United States in the mid-1990s. The card game, originally created in Japan, led to several animated series and movies during that time and remained popular throughout the 2000s. Beyond its TV appeal, Pokémon spawned a vast array of memorabilia and collectibles, making it a perfect inspiration for collaborations.
The mash-up with Le Creuset is arguably one of the most chic of the bunch. Even better? It includes something for every kind of Pokémon fan. There are mugs and plates fashioned after different colored Poké Balls for super fans. Then there are the mini plates and cups that incorporate Pokémon characters with more traditional Japanese designs.
Still, no Le Creuset collection would be complete without some of the brand’s staple items. In this lineup, fans can find a large Pikachu-colored Dutch oven and miniature versions. There’s also a set of mini enameled bowls and stackable mugs in classic Pokémon colors.
Bokksu is known for its authenticity and attention to detail when curating Japanese products. The site’s Bokksu Snack Box subscriptions have become popular for their rare treats and unique selections. The success led to creating the Bokksu Market—a place to find tasty and hard-to-get Japanese groceries—and Bokksu Boutique for lifestyle items and gifts. So, it only seemed fitting that the Le Creuset Pokémon collection be exclusively sold through Bokksu Boutique.
As with any Le Creuset or Pokémon collection, these items are bound to sell out fast. See our favorites to shop below.
This is a great piece if you're a fan of the show or simply love Le Creuset pots. The brand's signature Cocotte Ronde pot gets a fun upgrade with a bold yellow color and stamped emblem of Pikachu on the lid. Use it to cook and serve stews, soups, or hearty meat dishes for parties or weeknight dinners.
Hosting a fun party soon? These are the perfect plates for appetizers, finger foods, and light fare. Or bring them out for a Pokémon-themed kids birthday party for cake, snacks, and cool Japanese treats.
These stackable mugs bring together the best of both brands. The functional design is great for hot beverages or serving ice-cream sundaes, and the colors embrace the Pokémon motif without going overboard.
