Apple and The Pokémon Company have come together to release a special item for its 30th anniversary: a new Pokémon Beats Pill.

Featuring both beloved Pokémon on its grill, the front and back of the speaker incorporate the unmistakable electric yellow of Pikachu and a grayscale interpretation of the mysterious Mimikyu. This is the first time Beats has released a Pill with charms. The speaker comes with bespoke Pokémon charms including the iconic Poké Ball and the Beats “b” logo, as well as lightning bolts — a signature symbol for Pikachu. The special-edition Pill also features its own playfully interactive packaging design.
And just like the two powerful Pokémon featured on its exterior, this portable Bluetooth speaker’s sound packs an electric punch. The Beats Pill has a bespoke acoustic system that delivers a deep, full bass and booming, room-filling sound. Listeners can also plug inessly pair two Beats Pills together in Amplify Mode or Stereo Mode
The special-edition Pokémon x Beats Pill offers up to 24 hours of battery life and is rated IP67 for dust and water resistance, making it perfect for inside the home, at the gym, on the beach, or anywhere else fans want to take it. Its color-matched removable lanyard and soft-grip silicone backing make it easy to bring along wherever the adventure leads. Users can even charge a compatible phone directly from the speaker
“Pokémon Trainers are some of the most passionate in the world, and we saw an opportunity to channel that energy into something fun, unexpected, and created especially for fans,” said Chris Thorne, Beats CMO. “This collaboration unites two brands rooted in culture, giving fans a new way to express their love of Pokémon through sound.”
