Pokémon Batteries were produced by Maxell and began retailing in Japan on May 25, 2010 after first being announced on April 19 that same year[1]. They were available in the sizes of AA and AAA. They were encased in blister packs which contained four batteries each, and also in shrink wrap packaging which contained eight batteries each. The alkaline batteries have a new zinc-alloy casing which claims to be more child-friendly than previous batteries produced by Maxell.
On the first batteries released, Raikou was featured on the AAs along with Electivire on the AAAs. With each pack of batteries came one of seven collectible stickers, showcasing individual Pokémon.
