Detective Pikachu inspired clothing line with Bershka

Pokémon Company - June 2019

We all know that Pokémon has lived on in the minds (and screens) of young and old alike, so Bershka is celebrating the release of the latest movie Pokémon: Detective Pikachu with a fresh new line. As creatures in the Pokémon universe go, Pikachu is one of the most popular and beloved, so why not honour the little pocket monster in style?

It’s all gone Pokémon-crazy over at Bershka with a fresh palette of black, yellow and blue just in. This drop satisfies the appetite for ‘2000s nostalgia, while also tapping into the nowness of total looks. First up is a unisex yellow oversized shirt detailed with tribal tattoo style motifs and Pikachu illustrations; an all-round nod to early noughties aesthetics. Worn with a simple black tee or crop top, cycling shorts, and a pair of skinny sunglasses, you may feel like you have just walked off the set of Dawson’s Creek (which can only ever be a good thing, right?). Next up is a girls’ yellow tribal and Pikachu-printed bodysuit combined with black sweatpants, perfect for both lowkey lounging and summer party vibes. You can even take a dip in the pool with Pikachu by your side, if you fancy.

Co-ords are all the rage right now, so we’ve gone all-in for items that can be worn as a combo. For girls, a loose-fitting black crop top emblazoned with an image of Pikachu and its famous lightning attack can be matched with some casual black nylon shorts for a cute and playful vibe. Another black total look mixes an asymmetric crop top, thigh-hugging cycling shorts with blue lightning and Pikachu detail, and a bucket hat to finish it off. Think of it as streetwear meets Pokémon, and trust us: all your friends will be jealous. Throw on a neon backpack and grab your Nintendo Switch, then it’s game over!

For the guys, it’s also all about black and a pop of vivid colour. You can’t go wrong with tight knee-skimming shorts or a simple pair of black trousers and a T-shirt, especially when the tee comes with the powers bestowed to Pikachu himself. Rock the oversized graphic T-shirt look with an “electrifying” portrait of the character in electric shock mode. And what’s more is it’s unisex, so the girls don’t have to miss out. Win-win.

Whether you’re a diehard Pokémon fan, fleeting visitor, or total novice, don’t sweat it: Bershka’s got you covered. With this new line, you’ll be catching compliments as well as your fav creatures.
