The Pokemon Company has announced a partnership with music superstar Ed Sheeran, and the two sides have teamed up with a new song, “Celestial”. This will appear in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.

The “Celestial” video, which was directed by the award-winning Yuichi Kodama, is inspired by Ed’s childhood fascination with the franchise. It features some of his favorite Pokemon such as Pikachu, Squirtle, Machamp, Snorlax, and more.
