Baskin‑Robbins Pokémon ice‑cream promotion in Japan

Entities: Pokémon franchise · Baskin‑Robbins Japan · Isezaki City Akahori History and Folklore Museum · Pikachu · Pokémon

Overview

In late July 2026, Baskin‑Robbins Japan launched a month‑long “31 Poké Summer!” campaign (August 1‑31) to mark the 30th anniversary of the original Pokémon games. The promotion introduced a Pikachu‑themed pineapple‑sorbet flavor, special dual‑scoop cups featuring both classic and newer Pokémon partners, collectible stickers, and themed toppings such as a “Monster Ball” sundae.

A follow‑up report two days later reiterated the same flavor lineup and collectible items, while placing the campaign alongside other summer attractions, including an Isezaki pottery exhibit. The repeated coverage confirms that the ice‑cream promotion remained the central feature of Baskin‑Robbins’ summer marketing in Japan during this period.
