Pokemon Squishmallows Are Beginning to Pop Up in the Wild

By Megan Peters

The new year is here, the holidays are over, and the world wants nothing more than more Squishmallows. The collectibles are getting bigger by the day, and Pokemon only made demand skyrocket with its big partnership. As January gets into gear, fans everywhere are looking to nab Pokemon's sold-out squishes, and scalpers are trying to turn over their stock while they can. But at last, it seems reports have surfaced of the plushes showing up in select stores...!

As you can see below, some lucky fans managed to spot Pokemon's new line of plushes in stores. For those who have not kept up with the Squishmallows saga, well – you should know it has been a wild journey. Last summer, fans were told Pokemon and Squishmallows were teaming up to release a line of huggable pillows. As you can imagine, fans were hyped given how popular both brands are, and that excitement grew when the collection sold out in minutes months ago.

Of course, Pokemon's line of Squishmallows hit the secondhand market, and prices were gouged ASAP. Pikachu and Gengar plushes were selling for absurd prices with some pillows going for $200 USD or higher ahead of the holidays. However, plenty of fans have been waiting for the Squishes to hit stores, and it seems some Walmarts are now getting stock.

As you can see above, the plushes are joining the floor's regular stock, so the Squishmallows are with all its brethren. At this point, there is no surefire way to know whether your local store has stock, but social media sleuths are narrowing down markets where these in-store items are appearing. Currently, Ohio and Washington netizens have found stock at Walmart locations across the state. And if you can find one of these plushes, they retail for $17 USD.

Right now, Gengar and Pikachu are the only Squishmallows out. Previous reports have suggested Pokemon will release more plushes as 2023 rolls through. Currently, these rumored additions include favorites like Snorlax and Togepi.
