Pokémon Supports 4v4 Soccer! Cinderace and Gengar Appear

PR TIMES

Now Do Co., Ltd. will implement the "Aim for the JAPAN CUP! Challenge Rival Teams" campaign in cooperation with The Pokémon Company!
In this project, for official 4v4 tournaments held from Saturday, November 1 to Sunday, November 30, 2025, Pokémon will cheer for the "Challenge Teams" aiming for a spot in JAPAN CUP 2025 and the "Rival Teams" who have already qualified!

This collaboration was realized because the philosophy of 4v4, which is to "challenge repeatedly and grow," resonated with the Pokémon theme of "getting stronger through battles."
Each team will be provided with a special Pokémon-designed bib, with the Striker Pokémon "Cinderace" supporting the Challenge Teams, and the Shadow Pokémon "Gengar" supporting the Rival Teams!

Benefits for Each Team and Limited-Design Items
