Pokemon<\/strong><\/em> has just revealed new forms for Pikachu and Snorlax, both of which will be introduced in the upcoming cozy life sim Pokemon Pokopia<\/em>. Pokemon<\/em> has a long history of giving its most iconic creatures variant designs, ranging from Mega Evolutions to unique regional-exclusives like Alolan and Hisuian forms. But these new Pikachu and Snorlax forms might go down as some of the franchise’s best alternate designs, especially in recent years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Announced during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, Pokemon Pokopia<\/em> looks like an exciting mashup of Pokemon<\/em>, Minecraft<\/em>, and Animal Crossing<\/em>, with its gameplay seeing players team up with Pokemon to create an island paradise. Pokemon Pokopia<\/em> is set to launch on March 5, 2026, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2, though original Switch owners can join their friend’s game via GameShare.<\/p>\n

A new Pokemon Pokopia<\/em> deep-dive has just been uploaded to the official Pokemon YouTube channel. This lengthy trailer showcases a plethora of new gameplay features heading to the cozy Pokemon<\/em> game, such as the player-character Ditto’s ability to transform into Lapras to surf across water and turn into Dragonite to fly through the air. At the end of the 10-minute Pokemon Pokopia<\/em> breakdown, three new Pokemon forms are shown. The first is a colorful, paint-splattered Smeargle form named ‘Smearguru.’ The second is a droopy-eared, pale Pikachu called ‘Peakychu.’ And the third is a grass-covered Snorlax with a blooming flower on its head named Mosslax.<\/p>\n

Being the Pokemon<\/em> franchise’s most prominent mascot, Pikachu has had countless redesigns and special variants over the years, ranging from recolored shiny variations to a bevy of costumed iterations. That said, aside from its Gigantamax version introduced in Pokemon Sword & Shield<\/em>, Pikachu has never been given an entirely new form before. The same is true for Snorlax. But while Pikachu and Snorlax have at least had Gigantamax forms, Pokemon Pokopia<\/em>‘s Smearguru is the very first alternate design that Smeargle has ever been given.<\/p>\n

Developer Koei Tecmo hasn’t confirmed Peakychu, Mosslax, or Smearguru’s roles in Pokemon Pokopia<\/em>‘s gameplay, though it seems likely that the new forms will grant the player-character’s Ditto some new abilities, similar to how Bulbasaur allows the player to grow grass and Squirtle lets them water crops. Alternatively, these special forms could be some of Pokemon Pokopia<\/em>‘s newly confirmed quest-givers, who ask the player to complete specific tasks in exchange for rewards that go towards the island’s progress.<\/p>\n
