We've all seen these Pikachu mascot suits before. Pokemon Co. uses them at various events, and has been for quite some time. Now it's time to learn a few tidbits about the suits themselves!
- the suit is battery-powered
- the battery lets the suit stay inflated for 45 minutes to an hour
- if the suit deflates with the user in it, it can become a very dangerous situation, as the user might suffocate
- users bring a bottle of water or a small fan with them inside the suit due to extremely hot temperatures
- the latest model of the suit allows the person wearing it to hear what people outside are saying
- there's a small strip of clear PVC surrounding the bottom of the Pikachu’s feet
- this allows the operator to see where they're walking
- the operator is also able to see clearly through the suit's eyes
- there's a mechanism which allows the operator to control the movement of the ears
- the recommended height for an operator is 155cm
- the suit is 20kg and the operator has to bear some of its weight on their shoulders through a harness
