and Magearna! Although at first glance, the line-up for this batch of plush seems a little random, actually all of the Pokemon included will have larger parts in the up-coming 2016 summer movie.

Fun fact: Psyduck is Junichi Masuda‘s favorite Pokemon.

I was the most excited for the newest batch of Pokemon With You charms, mainly because I love metal charms and I love the Pokemon With You series.

This batch of charms included…
