Pokémon fans visiting Birmingham's Bullring now have a sweet new reason to stop by, as Krispy Kreme has launched a limited-edition collaboration featuring Pokémon-inspired doughnuts. The collection, which includes designs based on Pikachu, Charmander, Jigglypuff, and a Poké Ball, is available for a limited time only.

The Charmander option features a dulce de leche and marshmallow filling, dipped in caramel icing with a Charmander decoration. The Jigglypuff doughnut is an Original Glazed variety, topped with strawberry-flavoured frosting and a strawberry biscuit crumb, finished with a Jigglypuff plaque. Finally, the Poké Ball doughnut is an Original Glazed doughnut dipped in white icing and decorated with Poké Ball-inspired sprinkles.
Golden Boxes and Availability
According to Krispy Kreme, a limited number of golden boxes are available each day across Krispy Kreme shops, online, and in selected supermarket cabinets. The company encouraged fans to "get in early for your chance to receive your Pokémon dozen in one." The Bullring shared the news on Instagram, stating: "The Pokémon x Krispy Kreme doughnuts have officially landed at Krispy Kreme, Bullring!
