Pokemon Sleep is getting its own line of snoozing plushes to celebrate the app’s second anniversary

It’s been two years since Pokemon Sleep, the app that took so long to release following its reveal that many of us assumed we’d dreamed it, launched, and Pokemon has revealed some very special plushes to mark the occasion. A quintet of sleeping Pokemon plushes that have been designed to look exactly like their sleep styles in Pokemon Sleep.

Yes, I know; Pokémon already has a range of sleeping plushes that predate the arrival of Pokémon Sleep. These are a little different, though, as rather than simply having them lying on their front, or their side like the heartbreaking Cubone plush, these plushes look exactly like the Pokemon as they appear in the game.

Can I call Pokemon Sleep a game? It’s been two years and I’m still not sure I should.

Pokemon Sleep is turning two, and it’s getting its own range of plushes to celebrate

Each Pokemon has a variety of sleeping styles in Pokemon Sleep, giving The Pokemon Company a lot to choose from for its plushes. It has chosen well, though, particularly when it comes to Quaxly. The Paldean partner Pokemon’s sleeping plush has given the little duck bedhead, meaning it’s lying flat on its back with the blue feathers on its head ruffled and covering its eyes. Turns out Quaxly and I have the same sleep style. Who’d have known?

If Quaxly isn’t your Scarlet & Violet starter of choice, even with its adorable bedhead, then no fear, all three of the Pokemon you’re given to choose from when you begin your journey through Paldea are part of this collection. Like Quaxly, Fuecoco is also fast asleep while lying flat on its back, and the Sprigatito plush is lying on its side.

None of the partner Pokemon are my favorite from this quintet of new plushes. That award goes to Bewear. If I had known Pokemon Sleep plushes were in the pipeline, then a Bewear plush that has the sleeping ‘mon hugging a log would have been right at the top of my wishlist. The sleeping Dedenne completes the collection, curled up on its side like Sprigatito with its tail tucked up so it’s almost tickling its face.

All five plushes will be available in Japan starting from July 12, but as is often the case with Pokemon plushes, it will hopefully be a matter of time until they’re made available worldwide. There will be ways to get them shipped from Japan, too, of course, it will just make the plushes significantly more expensive than they would be if you waited. If and when the plushes do arrive in the US, hopefully, the stickers being handed out with them come too. Pokemon fans buying the plushes in Japan are also being given stickers to scan so they can guarantee encounters with Quaxly, Fuecoco, and Sprigatito in Pokemon Sleep.
