22 Unique Pokeman Food Ideas

Pokemon parties are what many kids want for their birthday or block social party theme. The decorations are easy enough to find but have you thought about the menu? Peerspace wants to help with 22 of our most unique Pokemon food ideas that will have everyone excited to try them all!

1. Toss out some Pokeball cupcakes

Regardless of whether you go chocolate, vanilla, or red velvet, these Pokeball cupcakes are guaranteed to put a smile on people’s faces. The only part that takes more work than standard cupcakes is painting them with red, black, and white frosting. That said, the pattern is quite easy and one of the most creative Pokemon food ideas!

2. Set out a bowl of Jigglypuff cheese puffs

Pokemon food ideas don’t have to be super-involved recipes. If you need an idea that’s quick and easy, a bowl of cheese puffs with Jigglypuff on the label is the way to go! Crunchy cheese puffs are especially good if you want to let kids pass a snack bowl around while watching Pokemon cartoons. 

A Pokemon TV or movie party should also have a venue with a big-screen TV or even a theater screen. Did you know Peerspace has venues like that, complete with surround sound and 4K projectors? Imagine hosting a Pokemon viewing party at this private theater in Los Angeles, CA, instead of your living room!

3. Surprise and delight with a Pokemon pinata cake

A Pokeball cake is already an amazing idea for a Pokemon-themed birthday event. But what if we made it even more amazing by adding a punch of Pokemon inside? Check out the detailed instructions here from Red Ted Art for a cake that will unleash a squad of fight-ready Pokemon when cut!

4. Puree some Bulbasaur broccoli dip for a healthy snack

Pokemon like Bulbasaur remind us to eat our vegetables. So let’s bring some of that to the snack table with a blended broccoli dip! It’s a healthy alternative to the many snacks and sweets at the party and goes great with chips or vegetable sticks.

5. Whip up a Togepi egg salad

Deviled eggs are a savory dish that deserves a spot at any special occasion! The egg-shaped Togepi Pokemon makes this an easy food idea to work with. Add some splashes of color using food dye during the boiling process if you want a slightly more realistic take on your deviled Togepi eggs.

6. Bake a platter of hot and spicy Charizard wings

You can have a platter of spicy hot wings ready to go in a single hour for an upcoming Pokemon party! Since these are Charizard-themed, they should have at least a little kick to them but feel free to substitute the hot sauce with something sweet and mild like sriracha for pickier eaters.

7. Arrange a Pokeball fruit and dip platter

Don’t go with a boring mixture of fruits or vegetables when making snack platters for the party. Make a Pokeball platter instead! Start with a selection of red fruits or vegetables like strawberries or red sweet peppers. Underneath that, use a pale fruit like bananas, and in the center, a black bowl with a white dip.

8. Serve some bright yellow pineapple Pikachu mocktails

Our list of Pokemon food ideas needs a few drinks to wash it all down. What could be better than some yellow pineapple-flavored drinks that remind us of Pikachu, the most popular Pokemon of all? Pineapple mocktails are the way to go if your Pokemon party is for youngsters. Fortunately, there are all kinds of ways to mix a tasty mocktail; check out these recipes from My Bartender for inspiration.

How adorable are these Pikachu pancakes? Unless you’re an absolute wizard in the kitchen, you’ll need some help with a Pikachu pancake mold. Otherwise, these are a fun Pokemon food idea that will instantly upgrade your pancakes.

11. Decorate some ice cream cones into your favorite Pokemon

Pokemon come in bright colors like orange, yellow, and blue. So how about taking single scoops of ice cream and using some quick touches of candy and frosting to make Pokemon faces? These can even be a fun DIY crafts activity that doubles as a snack at the party!

12. Make some cheese Pokeballs for a savory snack

Many lists of Pokemon food ideas get a little heavy on the sweets. So how about some simple cheese Pokeballs? All you need to do is remove half of the red wax wrapping from some Babybel cheese rounds before touching them up with black and white fondant.

14. Shape an adorable Pikachu rice ball

Sushi rice is wonderful for more than just sushi. It’s pretty sticky, so you can mold it into all kinds of shapes. Like, say, a mini edible Pikachu! Use a little nori (seaweed) and carrot rounds for the cheeks. You’ll need some yellow food coloring as well when boiling the rice.

15. Decorate some Pokeball Rice Krispie treats

Rice Krispie treats have been delighting kids for generations! Not only are they easy and delicious snacks to make, but you can also decorate them to match any party theme. For a Pokemon party, try using a Pokeball-shaped cookie cutter for just the right shape. From there, use red, black, and white frosting to touch up the details before serving.
