Have you ever wanted to fly in a jumbo jet emblazoned with the face of your favorite Pokémon? Well, your chance is coming with the launch of a new All Nippon Airways (ANA) plane next month.
The national Japanese carrier will officially usher into service a new Boeing 787-9, titled the “Green Pokémon Jet”, featuring decals of grass starter Pokémon from tip to tail (thanks Essential Japan). Well-known creatures such as Treecko, Chikorita, Grookey and Bulbasaur appear along both sides of the plane in playful scenes, with brand mascot Pikachu also featuring.
The themed plane will connect Japan to select North American hub cities (in both the U.S. and Canada) from September 2026 to March 2027 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the partnership between ANA and Pokémon. Eager plane watchers can follow its progress around the world using its tail number JA923A.
Coming after the earlier successful launches of the “Red Pokémon Jet” and “Blue Pokémon Jet”, featuring an array of fire and water-types respectively, the “Green Pokémon Jet” celebrates the final starter type available in the Pokémon games. You can see full images of the planes below.
