Gujarat Titans have partnered with Pokémon for the 2025 league season, which has led to a wave of enthusiasm among fans, junior players and professional players. The partnership has filled new energy in training sessions and home games, in which the presence of Picchu has made the atmosphere shining.
As part of this collaboration, Pokémon was included in the Junior Titans program, which is a leading initiative spreading to five cities of Gujarat promoting sports and active lifestyle among children under the age of 14. During the pre-season, the Pokémon team visited two centers, where exciting Pokémon Gifts were distributed. Picchu's surprise visit was a highlight at Ahmedabad Center, where Picchu led the day-up activities with Radio Taiso number one.
During the season, a booth decorated with Pokémon Art was set up at Narendra Modi Stadium, which was visited by about 42,000 people in seven home game days. Picchu, who was wearing a jersey of Gujarat Titans, attended the booth in most home game days, interacted with fans and took photos. Visitors were also given free picachu stickers as a reminder. Some lucky children of Junior Titans were also given a special invitation to meet Pikachu at the stadium.
Colonel Arvinder Singh, COO of Gujarat Titans, said, “Our partnership with the Pokémon Company shows our attention to the innovative fan connection with a globally recognized brand. From the initiative of Junior Titans to the stadium experiences, the young fans were excited to communicate with Picchu.
Outside the stadium, Picchu, who was wearing a jersey of Gujarat Titans, entertained visitors as part of Pokémon Fiesta at Nexus One, Ahmedabad, including DNCE show, mini-games and other attractions. Gujarat Titans logo was also displayed at Poke Stops in Ahmedabad at the Pokémon Go game.
“We are delighted to partner with Gujarat Titans and congratulate the team for reaching the playoffs. This partnership has given us the opportunity to join the young cricketers, professional league teams and Ahmedabad. Pokémon wants to entertain old fans and continue to attract new fans by creating new contact points. The brand hopes that with this collaboration with Gujarat Titans, the 2025 league season has become more memorable for cricket fans.
