Pokemon Reveals Amazon-Exclusive Espeon Backpack

Pokemon fans will soon be able to accessorize with an Amazon-exclusive backpack themed after Espeon. This new gear is being released courtesy of fashion and apparel company Loungefly, which has collaborated with Nintendo in the past for a variety of Pokemon-themed backpacks and accessories, including a few modeled after Eevee and its many different alternate evolutions.

One of these so-called “Eeveelutions” is Espeon, a Psychic-type form introduced in Pokemon Gold and Silver. Trainers can transform their Eevee into this catlike Sun Pokemon by either leveling it up with a high Friendship stat during the daytime in the mainline Pokemon games or exposing it to a Sun Shard in the Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness spin-off. Like the rest of Eevee’s evolutions, Espeon is fairly popular among Pokemon players, with some even making custom clothing like Espeon-themed shoes in addition to various works of fan art.

Now these fans will have an Espeon backpack to go with them, thanks to the latest crossover between Pokemon and Loungefly. The new backpack will be exclusive to Amazon, and will be released on December 23, 2024. The front is modeled after Espeon’s face, complete with pointy, cat-like ears sticking out from the sides. The back is etched with the number 196, which is Espeon’s official designation in the Pokedex. Inside the backpack is a pattern of Espeon against a dark purple background, with a crystal ball-like symbol that also decorates the outer zippers.

Loungefly Espeon Backpack is Coming to Amazon

As noted before, Eevee and its Eeveelutions remain a popular subject of speculation for Pokemon fans, who often try to predict when a new one will be added to the ever-growing list. There are plenty of elemental types that haven’t been represented by an Eeveelution yet, inspiring gamers to create their own custom Eevee forms. Sadly, there haven’t been any new Eevee evolutions since the Fairy-type Sylveon in Generation 6, though the recent Game Freak data breach revealed that a Flying-type Eeveelution was planned for Pokemon Sun and Moon before being cut.

As fans wait for yet another Eeveelution to appear in a new Pokemon game, there are plenty of ways to accessorize based on the ones that already exist, including the Psychic-type Espeon. Loungefly’s Espeon backpack will only be available to order at Amazon, and while the stylish item isn’t set to launch until late next month, players who want a unique pack for their next journey can pre-order one now.
