Pokemon x SPAM Collab Is the Weirdest Thing You'll See Today

Ever looked at a can of SPAM and thought, "You know what this needs? More Snorlax." No? Well, Pokemon went ahead and did it anyway.

That's right, the Pokemon Company has officially teamed up with SPAM for one of the most unexpected food collaborations we've seen in a while. The partnership brings us collectible sets based on three fan-favorite Pokemon: Snorlax, Ditto, and Charmander.

If you're scratching your head right now, you're not alone. SPAM and Pokemon aren't exactly the pairing you'd expect to see on a grocery store shelf. But honestly, once you think about it for a second, it kind of works. Snorlax is basically the Pokemon world's biggest fan of lying around and eating, so sticking him on a canned meat product feels weirdly on brand.

Ditto and Charmander rounding out the lineup is a fun touch too. Ditto's whole gimmick is transforming into anything, so a collab that mashes up two completely different brands feels like the perfect fit for the little pink blob. And Charmander? Well, everyone loves Charmander, so why not.

Details on exactly what these collectible sets include are still pretty slim, but the core idea is clear: you'll be able to grab Pokemon-themed SPAM sets featuring these three characters. Whether that means special packaging, collectible tins, or something else entirely, we'll have to wait and see.

What we do know is that this is the kind of collaboration that gets people talking. Pokemon has done plenty of food tie-ins before, but teaming up with a pantry staple like SPAM is a whole different vibe. It's the sort of thing that sounds like a joke until you realize it's actually happening.

For collectors, this could be one of those oddball items that becomes a must-have simply because it's so strange. For everyone else, it's just a fun reminder that Pokemon will partner with pretty much anyone, and somehow it usually works out.

So, would you actually buy a Snorlax-branded can of SPAM? Or is this one collab you're happy to leave on the shelf? Let us know what you think!
