What is with this slate of large Pokémon plushies that keep coming up? We love them, of course — recently we've had Spheal (which you can now buy worldwide) and Altaria, among many others. And now, Cynthia's ace Garchomp is entering the gigantic Pokémon plush ring.
This 160cm long plush was shared online by PokéJungle (via Nintendo Soup) and will be available to pre-order Premium Bandai Japan's store later today, 12th October. 160cm means it's around 5'2", so it's only a little bit shorter that this writer! And, given that Garchomp is laying down and seems to be having a nap, it looks like it's the perfect sleeping buddy.
You can check out some snaps from Hobby Dengeki to see how to get perfect use out of your sleepy Garchomp:
Garchomp isn't the first Pokémon we'd think about giving a cuddle, but we can get behind this! Let's just hope it's not as brutal as Cynthia's and that the little nap is calming it down a bit.
Of course, as you'd expect with a giant plushie, Garchomp also comes with a pretty hefty price tag — just below $400. The big dragon is due to ship in February 2023, and maybe — like many other giant plushies — we'll see Garchomp made available in the US or UK.
Don't forget, later today we'll be getting a brand new Pokémon Scarlet & Violet trailer at 6am PDT / 2pm BST / 11pm AEST.
Do you want to give Garchomp a hug? Roar in the comments to let us know!

A little trivia, this is a female Garchomp.
You can tell by the lack of a notch on its dorsal fin!
The Pokémon Company's been killing it with these jumbo plushies lately.
@RupeeClock
They likely chose the female model because the lack of the notch makes it slightly easier to manufacture.
That's not to say the rest of Garchomp is an easy shape either, though.
I like these big plushies, but I'm never going to be able to buy one. They looks really fun though!
Actually I want to hug Sawk live size plushie.
@RupeeClock What if it’s Cynthia’s garchomp! Probably not, but would be cool if that was the case.
Oof. I would honestly be embarrassed to own something like that.
@SonOfDracula sucks to be you then
This is the scene after Garchomp gets hit by a single snowflake.
Love this trend they're doing with Pokemon and giving them comically oversized (and overpriced) plushes. Hoping for Wooloo sooner rather than later (we've already had Mareep, may as well get the other sheep as well!).
Also, does this count as Pokemon's rendition of Blahaj?
@SonOfDracula I guess when your dad is Dracula, you have to grow up fast.
@its_luke_c looooool
@Fiskern Totally sucks not spending $400 on a plush, ya got me there champ.
Garchomp is one of my favorite Pokemon, so this was an insta buy...until the price scared me off. I can't justify $400 for a plushie, even if it IS beautiful....
