The starter trio for Pokémon Sword & Shield are a pretty unusual bunch. You have Rillaboom, a taiko-drumming gorilla; Cinderace, a soccer-playing bunny; and lastly, Inteleon, a secret agent. Inteleon quickly became a pretty meme-able Pokémon back when the games were released in 2019, but we think it's time to give this lanky lizard some more time in the spotlight.
And The Pokémon Center in Japan seems to agree because it's just announced a four-foot-tall Inteleon plush. Yes, that's right — at around 120cm tall, this plush is almost four feet tall. Nintendo Soup shared details of the plush, which will be made to order, as well as fully posable.
And, look, we have nothing against Intelon at all — it's a really fun, creative Pokémon — but look at these press shots and tell us that you don't feel threatened.
Those eyes seem so smug all the time! But it's like Intelon is always watching us, always staring us down, ready to take us out of we make so much as a wrong move.
The fact that you can pose it too so it looks like it's sitting down, chilling out with a cup of coffee? Hmm. Okay, that could be a lot of fun. But we're definitely wary of those eyes...
Currently, the plush is only available in Japan, and it's scheduled to be shipped out to willing buyers in January 2023. And if you want one, then you need to get in quick, as pre-orders are open until 21st August! And who knows, perhaps Inteleon could make for a good friend for our favourite little round buddy?
For all of us not living in Japan, there is thankfully a (much smaller) alternative. This 18-inch Inteleon plush is available to buy right now:

It's not quite life-sized, as Inteleon is 6'03" according to the Pokédex. But it's still really cool how they're making these bigger Poké plushies along with that Spheal one from earlier.
Inteleon is absolutely, unironically, one of my favorite designs in the whole series. I love it!
I think I may need this 🤩
Such a big boy. Kinda sucks how expensive these big ones tend to be though.
Oh well, I have a big Yoshi plush and that's good enough for me!
If you’ve ever been threatened by a soft toy, please call the action against menacing plushies helpline.
It should be as tall as mine (180 cm)
It's the hands that weird me out.
@EarthboundBenjy Oh no Inteleon is taller than me
Is everyone forgetting this Pokémon has water that acts like a sniper? Yeah this thing could be a hitman if it wanted too, What if it isn’t really even my friend!😰
Now that Xenoblade 3 has officially released, I've had to wipe all my cookies and stop going to all news/gaming/streaming sites to get any daily info on gaming. NintendoLife is the only site that I can visit without fear of spoilers for the next few weeks.
I know this comment is totally unrelated to Pokemon, but I didn't want to post it in a Xeno article and here seemed like an innocent-enough place.
The name's Leon. Inteleon.
Yeah that Amazon linked plush is super janky. Look at those hands! And the line between the eyes?
threatening?
that Inteleon looks awsome!
The one sitting on the chair needs a glass of scotch.
