Plushes are a major brand of merchandise for the Pokémon Company and are available in a range of shapes and sizes. while certain fan favorites like Pikachu are offered more frequently, players can also find adorable toys based on the nearly 1000 different Pokémon species available. Currently, the focus for merchandise appears to be set on the spin-off game Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which introduced fans to ancient Hisuian variants of numerous Pokémon, including Arcanine and Stantler. These two Pokémon have been part of a release of special collectible Hisuian form plushes available from the Pokémon Center in recent months.

It has now been revealed the Water-type starter Inteleon will be receiving a super-sized plush toy. As reported by NintendoSoup, the new plush stands significantly shorter than Inteleon's canonical height of 6' 3" (190cm), but it is still no pushover at around 4' (120cm) tall. Although apparently incapable of standing by itself, the Pokémon Center store demonstrates that the Inteleon plush's limbs can be moved to create a variety of poses. The plush is currently on preorder in Japan until August 21 and is priced at 16,500 yen, which equates to about 120 USD. This makes the enormous Pokémon plush a fairly costly piece of merchandise, although this is understandable given its size.
