San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk joined in on the viral trend in which Pokémon are used to create a 22-man football lineup.

Juszczyk showcased his lineup in a Friday post on X while explaining that he used the Pokémon Dugtrio as his fullback because the "low man wins."

The 35-year-old is an avid Pokémon fan, bonding with 49ers teammate George Kittle over their shared hobby.

"Me and Juice both have a love, love, love for Pokémon," Kittle said on his podcast The Kittle Things in Nov. 2025 (21:53 mark). "An absolute infatuation."

"I don't think me and Juice even know we both loved Pokémon until probably 2019," he added. "We were just like, 'Wait, you like Pokémon?' Woah."

Juszczyk is in the midst of his 14th NFL season and his 10th with San Francisco.

The 10-time Pro Bowler has remained an important piece of a 49ers offense that ranks No. 2 in the NFL by averaging 30.5 points per game.

Juszczyk is currently dealing with a knee injury after appearing in each of San Francisco's first four contests, catching four passes for 55 yards and a touchdown.
