Google unveiled a Pokémon Sleep special-edition Fitbit Air featuring a Sleepy Blue band decorated with a sleeping Pikachu design on August 27, 2026 [1, 2, 3]. The device is available to preorder in the US for $129 and will start shipping on September 15, 2026 [1, 2, 3].
The Fitbit Air syncs with the Pokémon Sleep app and Google Health to track sleep, steps, heart rate, cardio load, and workouts throughout the day. A TechCrunch article said, "The Fitbit Air adds another layer to that experience. It can sync with both the Google Health app and Pokémon Sleep, allowing users to track metrics including daily movement, heart rate, and cardio load during the day, then use the device to record sleep duration and quality overnight" [2].
Pokémon Sleep is a sleep-tracking mobile game launched in 2023 that rewards players for sleeping well and builds progress through a sleepy Snorlax character [2]. The special-edition Fitbit Air includes three free months of Google Health Premium (formerly Fitbit Premium), which offers access to an AI-powered health coach [3].
The standard Fitbit Air without the special Pokémon Sleep band costs $99 [1, 2]. The special edition device will be sold online and in stores via Google’s store and Target outlets [2, 3].
This release marks the first special edition of Google’s screenless Fitbit Air device since a Stephen Curry version earlier in 2026 [1, 2]. It also ties into Pokémon’s 30th anniversary, celebrated in 2026 with this crossover product and a special-edition playing card set launching the same week [1, 2].
The Pokémon Sleep special-edition Fitbit Air reflects Google’s continued push into health tech and lifestyle gaming integration. It will start shipping and arrive for customers on September 15, 2026 [1, 2, 3].
