New Pokémon Stop-Motion Series ‘Misadventures of Sirfetch’d and Pichu’ Streaming on Disney+

The upcoming stop-motion animated series, “The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d and Pichu,” will exclusively stream on Disney+ and DisneyXD, according to a reveal during PokémonXP.

Exclusive Disney+ Streaming Debut

First announced in July 2025, the series follows the Pokémon Sirfetch’d and Pichu as they navigate humorous situations in the Galar region. This marks a significant shift for The Pokémon Company International, as the brand’s previous stop-motion series, “Pokémon Concierge,” was exclusively available on Netflix.
