HERSHEY'S KISSES Teams Up with Pokémon for a Collector's Dream

The enticing combination of Hershey's Kisses and Pokémon is making a grand return, and this time there's an adventurous twist that fans can't resist. The Hershey Company has announced its partnership with The Pokémon Company International for a new limited-edition collection that introduces a fun narrative involving the mischievous villains known as Team Rocket.

Celebrating 30 Years of Pokémon

In honor of Pokémon's 30th anniversary, this year's exclusive collection features an eclectic mix of 151 collectible Poké Ball foil designs along with 10 new foils dedicated to Team Rocket.

The storyline sees Team Rocket making a spirited effort to “steal” every Kisses foil design, thereby adding a layer of playfulness that will enthrall collectors. Fans and enthusiasts can once again immerse themselves in a nostalgic experience that encourages them to engage in both fun and competition, as they hunt for the rare foils amidst the collection.
