Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s Wiglett is finally getting its own plush at Pokémon Center stores, but fans are seeing something else when they look at the official images of the new Pokémon plush. It turns out, the angle at which you take the photo matters a lot:
No, it’s not a photoshop — that’s the first image listed for the new 10-inch Wiglett Poké Plush on Pokemon Center. If you want to add this to your Pokémon collection, it costs $24.99 and is available to ship now.
Wiglett is the garden eel variation of the classic Pokémon Diglett, and it was first introduced in Scarlet and Violet’s Paldea region last year. But it didn’t take long for Wiglett to earn its reputation as one of the most NSFW Pokémon out there. And the internet is having a field day with this new entry into Wiglett’s lore.
