Croagunk Appears on Pokemon Kerorin Crossover Products

The Pokemon Company in Japan announced that it will release bath products featuring Croagunk as part of a collaboration with painkiller company Kerorin. This is the first time the two companies are working together, and it’s also part of the 100th anniversary celebrations for Kerorin. All the products feature the same image of a Croagunk enjoying a bath while saying that it’s effective against toxins. Beneath the Kerorin logo is one for Pokemon Sento, which is a new line of merchandise featuring Pokemon relaxing in traditional Japanese public baths. Though Kerorin is a company that specializes in painkillers, it’s a household name for those who frequent public baths and onsen. According to the website, the Kerorin bucket was born in 1963 (Showa 38) after the current CEO (then a normal sales worker) suggested advertising Kerorin on public baths buckets. At the time, baths in Japan had shifted to using plastic instead of wood out of health concerns. The buckets first appeared in the Tokyo onsen before expanding to baths all across the country due to the positive reception. As for the Kerorin and Pokemon goods that are part of the collaboration line-up, you can buy: Bucket: 1800 JPY Clear pouch: 1500 JPY Cloth bag: 1200 JPY Keyholder: 800 JPY All the items are ones you might bring with you if you’re visiting a public bath. The Kerorin and Pokemon goods will appear in Pokemon Center stores from March 29, 2025. The online store will get them earlier on March 27, 2025.
