Umbreon and Espeon Are Finally Getting Squishmallows, And It's About Time
If you've been staring at your shelf of Pokemon Squishmallows wondering why the best Eeveelutions were ghosting you — relief is here. Umbreon and Espeon are finally getting the plush treatment, marking the first time any evolved form of Eevee has joined the Squishmallow lineup. And honestly? It took way too long.
The reveal dropped quietly, but the internet did what it does best: immediately start planning which one gets the prime pillow spot on the bed. Umbreon's dark, ring-accented design translates perfectly to that soft, round Squishmallow silhouette, and Espeon's sleek purple and red jewel look is going to be an instant collector's target. Both are Eevee's Gen 2 evolutions, so they hit that perfect mid-2000s nostalgia sweet spot for anyone who grew up with Gold and Silver.
No official release date or retailer list yet, but based on how past Pokemon Squishmallows have rolled out — think Pikachu, Gengar, and the original Eevee — expect these to drop through major retailers like Target and Amazon sometime in the coming months. And yes, they will sell out fast.
This is one of those moves that feels obvious in hindsight: Umbreon and Espeon are perennially fan-favorite Pokemon with distinct, simple designs that were basically made for the Squishmallow form factor. The surprise isn't that they're happening — it's that it took this long.
