Jumping out of the tall grass and surprising fans, Oreo might have just unveiled its most exciting cookie pack yet, and you’ll want to munch ’em all.
The company has joined forces with The Pokémon Company to bring limited-edition cookies. After all, Oreos are incidentally Pokéball-shaped.

It would behoove you to take a look at the cookies before you nibble into them, though. There are a total of 16 distinct embossments representing 16 different Pokémon, and—true to the Pokémon collectible card packs and video games—some aren’t as easy to discover.

It’s actually not guaranteed you’ll find all 16 characters in your bag, and trainers may wish to collect more snack packs to eventually catch ’em all. Oreo told DesignTAXI that the Pokémon x Oreo collaboration marks the brand’s first-ever “cookie rarity scheme.” Further, snack reviewer The Junk Food Aisle received just 12 out of 16 of the designs.

Here are the characters to look out for: Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Mew, Jigglypuff, Dratini, Piplup, Sableye, Sandshrew, Cyndaquil, Pancham, Snivy, Grookey, Rowlet, and Lapras.

The announcement video is just as dynamic, and presents the collaboration in a pixelated, retro video game-style aesthetic nodding at black and white Oreos.
Preorders have just opened on OREO.com, and the cookie packs will officially make their debut nationwide from September 13. It’s while stocks last, so be sure to blast off at the speed of light to be able to grab one.
But before you go, check out these incredible 3D billboards that Oreo and The Pokémon Company created to commemorate the collaborative cookies, constructed entirely with Pokémon-embossed Oreos.
