Olympian Usain Bolt Joins Team Skull in Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon

The world's greatest sprinter Usain Bolt is seen rolling with Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon adversaries Team Skull in a new ad. Bolt challenges the viewer to a Pokémon battle where he will invariably run circles around the competition before deploying Pikachu's Thunderbolt attack.

Bolt is the Olympian and third professional athlete to appear in a Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon ad this year. New York Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka appeared as a Youngster and showed off his electric- and steel-type Pokémon Togedemaru and wrestler Saori Yoshida appeared with Machamp. Yoshida's Machamp was available at 7-Eleven, Tsutaya, Pokémon Center, and other game stores throughout Japan that have Nintendo 3DS Stations until February 28.
