Razer just dropped three new Pokémon-inspired headsets.
The new colorways, which form part of Pokémon’s ongoing 30th anniversary celebrations, are for two of the tech company’s most popular gaming headsets: the Kraken V4 and the Blackshark V3 X Hyperspeed. In typical collab fashion, each design is based on a specific Pokémon. This particular collection puts the spotlight on Sylveon, Charizard, and Lucario.
The headsets are now available directly from Razer and Target, though with a significant markup at the latter.
3 New Razer x Pokémon Gaming Headsets Now Available
The Razer Kraken V4 is getting the Sylveon Edition treatment. This wired headset sports a retractable mic, 7.1 surround sound, and customizable RGB with Razer Chroma. The Sylveon design is all about the pastels, with an image of Sylveon printed on the headband and soft blue details on the earcups. Razer’s own official listing calls the new edition “coquette-style.”
The base model headset costs $79.99, and the Sylveon Edition is currently listed at Razer for the same price.
The Razer Blackshark V3 X Hyperspeed headset is getting two new colorways based on some of the coolest Pokemon, Charizard and Lucario. This is a slightly higher-end headset tuned specifically for esports, with the standard edition priced at $20 more than the Kraken V4. It’s also lighter, weighing 270g to the Kraken’s 300g. Razer boasts a low-latency wireless connection supported by 2.4GHz HyperSpeed technology and up to 70 hours of battery life.
The Charizard edition is colored in black and red flames with orange lining, while the Lucario model features vibrant blue earcubs and ink-like illustrations.

Razer has previously released a number of Pokémon-themed peripherals, including a general Pokémon line of accessories and the viral Gengar headset. It’s not surprising to see the two companies lock hands once again for the gaming giant’s 30th anniversary.
Meanwhile Target, which is selling the new Razer headsets at a significant markup, released an entire Pokémon anniversary collection earlier this summer.
