A limited-edition Beats Pill speaker co-branded with The Pokémon Company is now available for purchase. The collaboration features designs inspired by Pikachu and Mimikyu, including a two-tone finish, lightning bolt accents, and a dual-sided lanyard charm displaying both the Beats logo and a Poké Ball. The speaker retains the standard Beats Pill specifications: a custom racetrack woofer, dedicated tweeter, up to 24 hours of battery life, 10-minute quick charge capability, IP67 dust and water resistance, lossless playback via wired connection, and USB-C charging for compatible smartphones. One-tap pairing works with Apple and Android devices.

The product launches October 15 at 11 AM EST through Apple and Target stores, priced at $149. This matches the standard Beats Pill retail price, though a separate Kim Kardashian-themed Beats Pill is listed at $85 on Amazon. The collaboration emphasizes collectible appeal alongside functional audio features, with the design elements presented as complementary to the speaker's core specifications rather than transformative.

The release follows no announced partnership between Beats and The Pokémon Company beyond this product line. No additional collaborations have been confirmed by either party. The article includes no claims about future releases, sales projections, or market impact beyond the product's availability and physical attributes.
