Beats has teamed up with The Pokemon Company for a limited-edition Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker inspired by Pikachu and Mimikyu. Priced at $150, the speaker launches on October 15, 2026, as the latest tech collaboration celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pokemon.
Both Pokemon make their mark on the speaker’s design. One side comes in Pikachu’s signature electric yellow, while the other features a grayscale look inspired by Mimikyu, all wrapped up in interactive packaging. For the first time in the Pill series, Beats is also including decorative charms shaped like a Poké Ball, the Beats logo, and a Pikachu-themed lightning bolt.
Beats Chief Marketing Officer Chris Thorne said Pokemon Trainers are among the world’s most passionate fan communities. The team wanted to channel that enthusiasm into a product made specifically for fans, giving them a new way to express their love for Pokemon through sound.
Under the hood, the collaboration retains the standard model’s acoustic system, with support for high-resolution lossless audio playback over USB-C. Two speakers can also be paired wirelessly in Amplify or Stereo mode. The battery lasts up to 24 hours, while IP67 dust and water resistance adds extra durability. Other features include a removable lanyard, silicone backing, and the ability to charge compatible phones via USB-C.
Earlier this year, Pokemon also teamed up with Polaroid on limited-edition instant cameras featuring Pikachu, Sylveon, and Poké Ball designs, alongside matching film and accessories—further expanding its anniversary collaboration lineup.
