The latest Pokémon has ed the lineup of Build-A-Bear Poké-Plushes, and it's an absolutely adorable eighth-generation dog-like Pokémon.

Each keychain is a soft plushie that stands at about 3-4 by 6-8 inches and utilizes a sturdy plastic clasp of a matching color. This makes the soft keychains the perfect size to hang from a bag or keychain to keep you company on your travels. The sets cost $29.99, which includes both keychains, resulting in a slight discount based on the similar current line of single Adventure Partners keychains, which are $16.99 each.

If You Can Decide Which One You Want To Keep

Good things come in pairs, and these adorable little critter duos certainly prove this fact. The Parallel Pairs keychains are like the Pokémon version of BFF keychains, with the two regional variations forming a pair together. The email introducing the line of tiny plushies suggests that fans can "clip your plush together to keep their bond, or spread the love and share one with a friend."

The idea seems to be that fans can buy the set to keep one for themselves and give one away to a friend or significant other. And while this is definitely an adorable idea, I know I personally wouldn't be able to choose which one to keep. Besides, it seems cruel to separate these terrific duos, doesn't it? Pokémon fans can snag a pair of these cuties right now for immediate shipping, while supplies last.
