Trekking around anyPokémonregion can be tiring. With all that walking (and sometimes it takes a while to find the bike shop), it’s understandable if you’re looking for a new way to get around. The Pokémon Company has you covered, teaming up with renownedhigh-end skateboard company Bear Walkerto bring trainersfour new Dragon-inspired skateboards. These hand-crafted boards are available now onthePokémonwebsitefor a limited time.
The four Dragons to choose from areDragonite, Tyranitar, Garchomp, and Dragapult. Each board is 30 inches long and made frommaple wood, with a milled grip patternfor a built-in surface with texture. This means that you won’t have to use grip tape and mess up your board. Each board comes with matching wheels and trucks, as well asa hanging mount in case you wish to display it, as opposed to taking it out on yournextPokémon Goraid weekend. Each board runs about 4 LB in weight.
These Bear Walker designs are limited edition,with only 250 of the Tyranitar, Garchomp, and Dragapult designs being made. However, the original Generation 1 Mon, Dragonite, got more love, with 310 created for its design. Each board will come with a certificate of authenticity andrun for $299.99, with a limit of two per purchase.

While theDragonite design has already sold out, the other three beasts are still up for grabs. First up is the Generation 2 favorite, Tyranitar. This Mon showcases its Rock Typing with craggily stone-like coloring behind it. Next isthe Generation 4 terrorwho ended many Nuzlock attempts for fans, Garchomp. The land shark’s gold and orange complimentary colors are on display in crackling lightning behind it.
