“Just Like Mimikyu” Realistic Plush Announced for Pokémon Center Japan

The Pokémon Company has unveiled a faithful new collectible for fans: the 'Just Like Mimikyu' realistic plush, set to launch in Japan.

Announced officially via Pokémon Center Japan, this latest addition continues the company’s tradition of offering high-quality, game-accurate merchandise to its expansive fanbase.

Mimikyu, the Disguise Pokémon, has become a beloved character in the Pokémon franchise since its debut in Pokémon Sun and Moon on the Nintendo 3DS system.

Known for its unique ability to disguise itself as Pikachu, Mimikyu has captured the hearts of trainers worldwide both in game and through various media.

With popular appearances on Nintendo Switch titles such as Pokémon Sword and Shield, and continuous merchandise updates through the Pokémon Center and eShop, Mimikyu remains a fan favorite. The 'Just Like Mimikyu' plush stands out for its commitment to authenticity.

According to official statements from The Pokémon Company, the plush is designed to mirror Mimikyu’s in-game characteristics—including its height, weight, and even the specific cloth material that mimics the character’s disguise.

This meticulous attention to detail makes the plush not only a must-have for collectors, but also a prime example of The Pokémon Company’s dedication to quality and immersion in its merchandise line. Set for release on October 23, 2025, the plush will be available exclusively at Pokémon Center stores throughout Japan.

The Pokémon Center has a strong reputation for launching limited-edition products that often see high demand, and the 'Just Like Mimikyu' plush is likely to follow in those footsteps.

Previous Pokémon plush releases have frequently sold out online and in-store shortly after launch, demonstrating a strong appetite among collectors across the region. This announcement reinforces The Pokémon Company’s ongoing strategy of supporting the franchise through unique and exclusive merchandise drops.

As the brand celebrates milestones on Nintendo Switch and through various mobile platforms, fans continually seek ways to engage with their favorite Pokémon beyond the games themselves. With Mimikyu’s enduring popularity from its mainline Nintendo Switch appearances to its myriad plush forms, this release is poised to be a standout among 2025’s Pokémon Center exclusives. Expect the 'Just Like Mimikyu' plush to become a coveted item when it arrives at Pokémon Center Japan this October, further expanding the already diverse selection of Pokémon merchandise for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
