The Pokémon Company has announced a late‑October rollout of its Christmas merchandise line at Pokémon Center stores across Japan, bringing seasonal plush, apparel and collector items to fans ahead of the holiday season.
The selection — which mixes character-themed clothing and novelty items — joins the larger ecosystem of Pokémon products that accompany ongoing game support for Nintendo Switch and digital listings on the eShop.
According to the company’s announcement, the new holiday range will be available at Pokémon Centers in Japan in late October.
Promotional text from The Pokémon Company references both October 22 and October 24 as availability dates in different materials, indicating a late‑October launch window for the items.
In a written statement summarizing the holiday lineup, The Pokémon Company said that the Christmas collection — billed as “Getting Ready for Christmas!” — will include playful and wearable items aimed at collectors and casual buyers alike.
The announcement highlights a Pikachu plush dressed as a Christmas tree, advent boxes designed for daily holiday reveals, a light‑up spinning mirror ball inspired by Blacephalon, a Tangrowth Christmas sweater with fluffy mohair sleeves, and a bold Magikarp cardigan.
Rewritten quote (journalistic): The Pokémon Company explained that the new seasonal merchandise is intended to “make Christmas even more fun,” calling out the Pikachu Christmas‑tree plush, advent calendars, a party‑ready Blacephalon mirror ball, and character sweaters as key highlights of the lineup.
The rollout follows The Pokémon Company’s established pattern of timed merchandise releases at Pokémon Center retail locations and the online Pokémon Center storefront.
While Pokémon titles remain a core part of the brand’s presence on Nintendo hardware — notably Nintendo Switch — these physical goods represent a parallel retail avenue that has become an annual fixture for collectors.

Fans in Japan can expect to see the range on shelves at Pokémon Centers in late October; collectors outside Japan should watch official Pokémon Center channels for international availability and online listings.
For shoppers interested in both games and goods, the holiday merchandise launch provides another touchpoint for the franchise that complements ongoing software releases and Nintendo Direct communications about Pokémon titles.
