The ones from the Pokémon Center store will come with a Pokémon Center badge on the back, a distinction that only Squishmallows sold from the official store have. Target, Walmart, and Amazon are three confirmed retailers for several different sizes of both new plushies, too. Box Lunch and Hot Topic are expected to get the new Squishmallows, too.

The Pokémon Company and Jazwares officially announced the new additions to the Squishmallow line in late February, promising a release date in the spring. The companies shared an adorable video with all four Pokémon Squishmallows FaceTiming each other.
