Get Pokemon on Your Yogurt in Japan

Morinaga Milk will release four-packs of Bifidas yogurt featuring various Pokemon species from March 31, 2025 in Japan. They will only be available until mid-May 2025, though Morinaga warned that it may end sales early if it runs out of product due to demand.

Each flavor type will have a different Pokemon on it, making for a total of seven variations. Pikachu is always on the packaging. Some of the packages focus on matching the Pokemon type to the flavor. The aloe flavor has Sprigatito, Petilil, and Oddish, which are all Grass Pokemon. However, the four-flavor variety pack has Eevee, Flareon, Espeon, and Leafeon. While they don’t share the same Type, they’re all part of the same evolutionary family. The mixed juice flavor only has Pikachu, which is likely because of its yellow fur. Though there are other yellow Pokemon in the franchise, they likely lack the sheer marketability Pikachu boasts.

Morinaga also teases three more products to receive Pokemon packaging in the future. Two of the silhouettes are boxes, and one of them has a Pino-like shape next to it. Compared to a yogurt cup with the Pokemon on the lid, it’s likely far easier for collectors to preserve a box.

Pokemon Legends Z-A, which will be the newest game in the franchise, will come out on the Nintendo Switch in Fall 2025. The Bifidas yogurt with Pokemon designs will appear in Japan starting on March 31, 2025.
