Pokémon x Beats Collaboration Launches Special Edition Beats Pill Speaker
Pokémon is teaming up with Beats for a special-edition Bluetooth speaker featuring Pikachu and Mimikyu. The Pokémon x Beats Pill combines the brand’s portable audio hardware with exclusive Pokémon artwork, themed accessories and custom packaging.
Announced in October 2026, the collaboration gives fans a new piece of Pokémon merchandise that is designed to be used as well as collected.
Pikachu and Mimikyu Take Centre Stage
The special-edition Beats Pill features Pikachu and Mimikyu on its speaker grille, with the design using Pikachu’s bright yellow alongside a grey colour scheme inspired by Mimikyu’s mysterious appearance.
The collaboration also introduces a first for Beats Pill releases: themed charms. The speaker comes with a colour-matched grey carry lanyard featuring a Poké Ball charm, while additional Pokémon-inspired details include the Beats logo and lightning bolt symbols associated with Pikachu.
The packaging has also received its own Pokémon makeover, including a movable interactive feature.
Features of the Pokémon Beats Pill
Although the exterior has been redesigned for Pokémon fans, the speaker retains the core features of the standard Beats Pill.
Key features include:
- Up to 24 hours of battery life, depending on usage and conditions.
- IP67 dust and water resistance, making it suitable for use in a range of environments.
- USB-C audio support for high-resolution lossless audio when connected to a compatible source.
- Amplify and Stereo modes, allowing two compatible Beats Pill speakers to be paired wirelessly.
- Phone charging, allowing users to charge a compatible device through the speaker’s USB-C connection.
- A removable carry lanyard and themed charm.
The package also includes special-edition Beats x Pokémon stickers.
