Pokemon might be known for their combat abilities, but let's be honest, most Pocket Monsters are downright adorable--who wouldn't want to snuggle a Pikachu if given the chance? Well, you can make that dream a reality with Pokemon Squishmallows. Amazon has a handful of these cuddly friends available for retail price right now, including Pikachu and Piplup variants that the retailer only recently started carrying. Amazon also has a fresh restock of the popular Snorlax and Togepi 14-inch plushies, and Walmart is selling Pikachu and Piplup 10-inch plushies for only $15 (down from $20).

　　If you're interested in any of these, we'd recommend buying as soon as possible--Pokemon Squishmallows are out of stock far more often than not. Any of the Pokemon Squishmallows would make for great gifts this holiday.

Both the winking Pikachu and Piplup plushes are available in 14-inch and 20-inch sizes. The 14-inch figures are $25, while the 20-inch versions are $50, and all four plushes are available at Amazon.

　　The winking Pikachu isn't the only Squishmallow based on the popular electric-type Pokemon. Another design featuring a smiling Pikachu is also available at Amazon, as are several other Pokemon Squishmallows based on Snorlax, Gengar, and Togepi. Prices on Pokemon Squishmallows tend to vary quite dramatically on Amazon, as they often sell out quickly and are then resold by third-party sellers.
