Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Warner Bros. has unleashed a new teaser trailer for POKEMON: DETECTIVE PIKACHU this afternoon that provides us with our best look yet at the imaginative redesigns for many of the franchises adorable and potentially faint-inducing pocket monsters. The footage includes a roll call setup where we come face to furry face with some of the franchise's most beloved Pokemon, such as Jigglypuff, Pancham, Aipom, Dodrio, Venusaur, Eevee, Charizard, Pikachu, and Psyduck. We also get a great look at some other creatures of Ryme City, including Lickitung, Snubble, Marowak, Flareon, Sneasel, and of course, Mewtwo.

Alongside the new teaser, Warner Bros. also announced that North American audience members will be given the chance to collect a limited edition Detective Pokemon trading card during the film's early screenins on Thursday, May 9. Through this first weekend and while supplies last, each guest will receive an exciting two-card pack from the new Pokémon TCG: Detective Pikachu series of collectible trading cards from The Pokémon Company International. One card will be randomly selected from the series currently available at retail locations and featuring select Pokémon in their CGI likeness as seen in the movie.  The second is guaranteed to be a limited-edition Detective Pikachu card available to those early-bird fans who are among the very first to catch this first-ever live-action Pokémon adventure on the big screen.

You can preview the card below:

Starring Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu, the upcoming big screen adventure from director Rob Letterman also features Justice Smith as Tim, and Kathryn Newton as Lucy a junior reporter following her first big story; as well as Suki Waterhouse, Omar Chaparro, Chris Geere, and Rita Ora, with Oscar nominee Ken Watanabe and Bill Nighy. Dan Hernandez & Benji Samit and Nicole Perlman wrote the story, which Dan Hernandez & Benji Samit and Rob Letterman and Derek Connolly then transformed into a rousing screenplay, based on the “Detective Pikachu” video game developed by Creatures Inc.
