Balatro teases a Pokemon Makeship crossover

Balatro is a roguelike card game that took the world by storm when it was released earlier this year. Since then, their list of collaborations has grown to include some major titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Stardew Valley, and more. Now, Balatro has teased partnering up with video game giant, Pokémon, in a new collaboration through Makeship. More details below.

Balatro has teased a collaboration with Pokémon in a Nov. 5 post to X with the text reading, "Who's that Pokemon???" The post also has an image of what appears to be a Balatro Joker that turned into a Pokémon. With the text "Coming Soon" at the top of the post, our best guess is that the details of this collaboration will arrive soon.

This collaboration also comes via Makeship, a brand that has made several themed plushies in the past with other gaming and entertainment franchises. So, you can safely bet that this crossover will come in the form of a Pokémon blended with the Balatro Joker mascot. Who knows — perhaps a Mr. Mime Balatro Joker plushie?

Since Balatro has launched on mobile, a huge move for the game, the crossovers with large IPs have been rolling in. This has included some of the following major titles in gaming and entertainment:

And now, Pokémon joins that list. Once we have more details on what this collaboration will be, we will update here with the latest.
