Vacuum-sealing your Squishmallows turns them into Pokemon jerky
Even before I started packing for my upcoming move, the thought of packing my Pokémon Squishmallow collection haunted me. I was already feeling some resentment due to the sheer amount of space they take up. (It’s mostly the 20-inch ones that are simply too big.)

Bring out the vacuum. To my surprise, it was not only horrifying, but also hilarious. My fluffy Squishmallows are now Pokémon jerky.

Some have said this is likely what it would look like to be inside a Pokéball. Either way, enjoy.

I can hear it now: “We cannot escape, we cannot get out.”
Supposedly, the Squishmallows will puff right back up even after being vacuum-sealed for weeks — albeit with a few
