A High-Voltage Audio Crossover
Apple-owned audio powerhouse Beats has teamed up with The Pokémon Company to introduce an official special-edition version of the Beats Pill portable Bluetooth speaker. Beats highlighted that the collaboration aims to capture the contrast between Pikachu’s vibrant spark and the mysterious charm of Mimikyu.
Design Highlights and Collectible Appeal
The limited-edition Beats Pill Pokémon release brings a refreshed aesthetic to the well-known portable speaker. Retaining the internal acoustic architecture of the standard Pill, the new model introduces a distinctive two-tone finish alongside thoughtful exterior details inspired by both Pokémon characters.

Pairing Pikachu’s vibrant aesthetic with Mimikyu’s darker undertones is such a creative concept for a speaker design. Did they include custom sound effects for powering on or pairing via Bluetooth? I’d love to hear how that two-tone finish looks in person, too.
