The value of the SUI token on the Sui blockchain has surged by more than 62% this week due to rumors suggesting a potential partnership with Pokémon.

These rumors originated from an update in the privacy policy of Pokémon HOME, indicating the involvement of Parasol Technologies, LLC, a company acquired by Mysten Labs, the developer of Sui blockchain, in March 2025.

Pokémon HOME is a cloud-based platform for storing and transferring Pokémon across different games. Despite no formal announcement, keen observers in the gaming and blockchain communities noticed the addition of Parasol in the privacy policy update, as reported by a user on X (formerly Twitter).

Parasol's recent initiative to combine collectible card games with blockchain-based NFTs was highlighted by the Sui Foundation in a blog post. The mention of Pokémon NFTs in the initial post was later removed, leading to further speculation about a potential collaboration between Sui and Pokémon.

The rise in SUI's market performance following these rumors has been significant, with the token's value surging by 62.2% in a week. The total value locked in the Sui network has also spiked by 38%, reaching $1.6 billion, indicating growing confidence in the Sui ecosystem.

As speculations continue, official statements from The Pokémon Company, Sui Foundation, Nintendo, or Mysten Labs are awaited to provide clarity on the alleged collaboration. The attention on Sui has increased, fueled by the ongoing discussions and uncertainties surrounding the potential partnership with Pokémon.
