Snapchat added a new limited-time lens that turns you into Pikachu
Snap Inc.
Snapchat is known for it's silly face filters that turn users into puppies, rabbits, or honeybees.
Starting Monday, Snap is partnering with The Pokémon Company to turn users into a new but familiar character: Pikachu.
For a limited time, a Pikachu filter will be available on Snapchat. The new filter gives users Pikachu's signature yellow ears and red cheeks, and plays the character's voice once you open your mouth. Pikachu himself will then jump onto the screen and strike a pose.
Here's a look at the filter in action:
The Pikachu filter will show up in the Snapchat app beginning Monday. Snapchat says it will only be available for the "short term," but did not specify when the filter would disappear - so use it while you can.
