Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store Returns to London for 2026 Pokémon Europe International Championships

The Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store is set to make a highly anticipated return to London in February 2026, coinciding with the prestigious Pokémon Europe International Championships.

Organized by The Pokémon Company, this limited-time retail event promises unique merchandise, exclusive collectibles, and an immersive fan experience tailored for fans of the global gaming phenomenon. Running from Thursday, February 12, to Sunday, February 15, 2026, the London Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store will operate at the heart of the competitive Pokémon circuit.

Entry to the store will once again require advance reservations—a system designed to manage the flow of fans and ensure a high-quality shopping experience.

The Pokémon Company has confirmed that full reservation details, including how to secure time slots, will be announced in the coming months through official channels. One of the major highlights for 2026 is the celebration of Mega Evolution’s return, following its reintroduction in the upcoming title Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

According to The Pokémon Company, Mega Evolution-themed exclusive products will be a central feature of this year’s pop-up, giving collectors and dedicated Trainers the opportunity to take home iconic memorabilia that spotlights this popular gameplay mechanic.

Visitors can expect a diverse selection of merchandise, including plushies, apparel, and item ranges designed around Mega Evolution and other popular facets of the Pokémon universe. The store will welcome guests during the following hours: • Thursday, February 12: 9 a.m.

– 5 p.m. • Friday, February 13: 9 a.m.

– 6 p.m. • Saturday, February 14: 9 a.m.

– 6 p.m. • Sunday, February 15: 9 a.m.

– 5 p.m. The Pokémon Center pop-up maintains a card-only payment policy, continuing its shift away from cash transactions for a faster and more secure checkout experience.

Visitors are encouraged to prepare accordingly and ensure they have access to debit or credit cards before attending. Since its debut in London, the Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store has drawn thousands of fans from across Europe, often resulting in rapid sellouts of sought-after items and substantial queues—testament to the enduring appeal of Pokémon in both the UK and wider international community.

Past events have included exclusive merchandise unavailable outside select pop-up locations, amplifying the sense of occasion for attendees.

With the convergence of the Pokémon Europe International Championships and the renewed focus on Mega Evolution thanks to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, this 2026 pop-up is shaping up to be a significant event for both competitive players and collectors alike.

More details regarding merchandise previews, reservation procedures, and health and safety guidelines will be released by The Pokémon Company as the event approaches.

Stay tuned for continued updates on how to secure access to this highly anticipated Pokémon event in London.
