One of Super Bowl LX’s most unexpected moments came not from the game itself, but from a commercial celebrating 30 years of Pokémon that featured Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc alongside pop culture icons in a viral advertisement that exploded across social media.

Aired during one of the year’s most-watched advertising slots, the Pokémon commercial titled ‘What’s Your Favourite?’ features international celebrities sharing their beloved Pokémon in a nostalgic and playful atmosphere.

The star-studded lineup includes Lady Gaga discussing her love for Jigglypuff and its vocal range, Trevor Noah talking about Psyduck, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and footballer Lamine Yamal. But Leclerc’s appearance created the biggest surprise for internet users.

In the advertisement, the Formula 1 driver enthusiastically explains why he appreciates Arcanine for its legendary speed and unwavering loyalty – values that resonate with motorsport fans. The angle created immediate buzz as F1 enthusiasts and the Pokémon community rushed to watch the video after its publication on the official Pokémon YouTube channel.
