The Pokémon Company Brings Quirky Pokémon Sticker Set ‘Team Rascal Pikachu’ To Line App

The Pokémon Company just picked the perfect time to launch a new Pokémon sticker set on the Line Store. Exactly a week after rolling out the Gen 2 Update to Niantic Labs’ “Pokémon GO” app, the marketing firm of the Pokémon franchise introduced the “Team Rascal Pikachu” sticker set for the cross-platform instant messaging app.

On Thursday, The Pokémon Company added the new sticker set that’s made with the help of Illustrator MOGU on the Line Store. Based on the official description of the set it consists of “cute and feisty” stickers of Pikachu and other pocket monsters fromdiffrent egions.

For just $1.99, the sticker set comes with 40 hand-drawn caricatures of several Pokémon. Each sticker is designed to be quirky and very comical. For example, there’s a Koffing belching its toxic gasses and is made to look as though it is erratically shaking to match the “head explodes” text above it. There’s also a cute sticker of Chansey comforting a distraught Pikachu with the words “There, there” above them.

The Pokémon Company ensured that even players of “Pokémon Sun and Moon” would be delighted with the new sticker set as well. Apparently, aside from the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pokémon, some creatures from the Alola Region also star in their own stickers. Starters Litten, Rowlet and Popplio each star in their own sticker. Sad Pokémon Mimikyu, Bewear and Alolan Exeggutor are also present in the new sticker set. Check out the complete set here.
