McDonald’s Japan is collaborating with The Pokémon Company for a limited-time campaign that introduces a new collection called “Sweets Trio Furuchu” featuring Pikachu. The new collection is a play on the Japanese pronunciation of “fruit” (furutsu) combined with Pikachu to make Furuchu.
The first new item from the “Sweets Trio Furuchu” menu is a yellow peach-flavored McShake with a total of six different designs. The small size has three different designs to collect and will cost 120 yen ($1.10 USD). While the medium size also has three different designs to collect and will cost 200 yen ($1.83 USD).
The second item is a chocolate banana McFlurry that costs 290 yen ($2.65 USD) with three different designs. The iconic vanilla-flavored ice cream in a cup is topped with sweet banana and rich chocolate sauce, and sprinkled with crushed crispy banana-flavored corn pieces.
Lastly, the hot apple custard pie costs 150 yen ($1.37 USD) and has a total of three different designs. The Pikachu-themed hot apple pie is made with apples, custard cream, cinnamon, and vanilla beans.
