Pikachu and Fuecoco are on their way to save us from the heat wave . It’s become a summertime tradition in Japan for Pokémon -themed ice cream flavors and other goodies to appear at Baskin-Robbins , and with a heat wave hitting the country, we’re more than ready to start stuffing ourselves with the frozen treats. Thankfully the wait is almost over, as Baskin-Robbins Japan has announced the details of this year’s Pokémon tie-up, which starts in just a few days! Being granted a spot among the chain’s 31 flavors is the brand-new Pikachu and Fuecoco Fruit Ice , in the bold colors of the series’ Electric-type mascot and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet starter.
The ingredients contain no fewer than seven different fruit flavors, with two types of sorbet swirled together, one with golden kiwi, passionfruit, and pieces of pineapple and the other a blood orange and pink grapefruit sorbet with bits of strawberry . Add in the ribbon of mango ice cream, and you’ve got a luxurious mix of sweet and tart flavors that’s sure to be extra-refreshing on a hot afternoon. Also joining the menu is a new addition to Baskin-Robbins Japan’s The Crush Soda line, the Pikachu Pineapple and Apple flavor.
This is a blended ice beverage to which you add a scoop of ice cream of your choice, though doubling up on the Poké-fun by making it a scoop of Pikachu and Fuecoco Fruit Ice seems like the most appropriate pick. Even if you’ve got your heart set on one of Baskin-Robbins’ preexistin.
