Another Pokemon is coming to Build-A-Bear Workshop. The popular plush company announced that they would begin selling Squirtle plushes beginning next month. Squirtle is the fourth Pokemon to appear at Build-A-Bear Workshop, following Pikachu, Eevee, and Charmander.

Each Squirtle plush will come with an Build-A-Bear Workshop Exclusive Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) card emblazoned with the Build-A-Bear logos. Like other Pokemon plushes, Squirtle will come with two outfits: a Ultra Ball Hoodie that can be bought in stores and a Poke Ball Slicker that is only available through Build-A-Bear’s website. Fans can also choose to buy an online exclusive set that comes with a 6-in-1 Squirtle Sound chip, both outfits, and the Pokemon Trading Card in addition to the Squirtle plush. The sound chip and the rain slicker are both only available as part of Build-A-Bear’s online exclusive set.

You can buy just the Squirtle plush for $28, while the “deluxe edition” sells for $60. You can also buy the Ultra Ball Hoodie separately for $10.50.

The Squirtle will be available at stores and online beginning on June 1. Fans can also receive Pokemon notifications by signing up at Build-A-Bear’s website, so they can be alerted the moment that Squirtle’s available for purchase.

Although Build-A-Bear didn’t say if any other Pokemon would follow Squirtle’s arrival, it seems likely that Bulbasaur will be the next Pokemon to wind up on the store’s shelves later this year.
