Gotta munch ‘em all: I tried the new Pokémon x Krispy Kreme donuts to find out if they’re actually worth buying

It’s my job to review all sorts of things here at TechRadar, whether that be phones, speakers, video games, chargers…you name it.

But today, I’m taking a journey into the unknown.

I’m reviewing some donuts.

Not just any donuts, though.

I’m talking about the Pokémon x Krispy Kreme collaboration.

The new donuts are available now across a number of markets, including the US, Canada, and here in the UK, with a number of options to choose from.

In the UK, you’re able to try out a Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Charmander, or Poké Ball donut, though some markets also get the Gen 1 icons Bulbasaur and Squirtle… lucky.

So, are the new Pokémon x Krispy Kreme donuts any good? I’ve tried all of the available options in the UK, and my answer is clear.

I’ll break down all of the designs, flavors, and more, and give my rating for each donut as we go.

So, gotta munch ‘em all? Here’s what I think.

Pikachu (Image credit: Future) It only seems right to kick things off with the series mascot, Pikachu.

This is a filled donut, with lemon sherbet cream inside, lemon-flavored icing, ‘fizzy’ thunderbolt sprinkles, and an edible Pikachu plaque.

The design has plenty of flair and personality, and captures Pikachu’s signature move nicely, making it arguably the most eye-catching in the set.
