With the newly launched Pokémon x Oreo collaboration, Oreo is introducing its first "cookie rarity scheme" and fans will need to collect different packs to capture all the characters. The sandwich cookies are stamped with different Pokémon designs, including favorites like Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur. In all, there are 16 different embossed designs, each of which represents a different character, and some of them are more difficult to come by than others.
Fans will also want to be on the lookout for characters like Grookey, Rowlet and Lapras, as well as the 3D billboards launched in cities to celebrate the special collaborative cookies. Perfect for back-to-school, the cookies promise to make Oreos an even more special treat to look forward to in lunchboxes.
