Gholdengo, the Pokémon recognized as entry number 1000 in recent Pokédex listings, is receiving a luxury real-world tribute.
The Pokémon Company International has partnered with Japanese jeweler SGC to produce a 24-karat commemorative Gholdengo statue that will appear at the Great Golden Exhibition in Yokohama later in 2026.
Background and context
Gholdengo was introduced in the ninth generation of the Pokémon series.
The ninth-generation mainline games, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, were developed by Game Freak and released worldwide for Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022.
The Pokémon franchise is one of the longest-running and most commercially successful in games and merchandising, with titles and ancillary products regularly promoted across Nintendo Direct presentations, official Pokémon channels, and retail partners.
What SGC and The Pokémon Company are showing
According to event materials and reporting from Dexerto, the commemorative Gholdengo figure will be produced in 24-karat gold and is being offered as a premium collectible.
The small statue measures approximately 2.36 inches (6 centimeters) tall and carries a listed price of $9,000.
In addition to the small gold figure, the exhibition will include two larger display statues: approximate lifesize pieces of Gholdengo and Pikachu plated with gold leaf rather than being solid gold.
Event listings state the larger statues use gold leaf across roughly 200 sheets and measure roughly 47 inches (120 centimeters) and 20 inches (50 centimeters), respectively.
Exhibition details and sourcing
SGC will display the pieces at the Yokohama Takashimaya building from September 30 to October 5, 2026, as part of its annual Great Golden Exhibition.
The event has historically showcased a range of premium gold art pieces, from pure-gold tableware to pop-culture statues and sports memorabilia.
The statue collaboration and display dates are listed on SGC's event information and were summarized in coverage by Dexerto.
Paraphrased commentary
Promotional language surrounding the release frames the Gholdengo piece as a high-end collector's item aimed at serious fans and luxury collectors; organizers effectively invite affluent collectors to consider the $9,000 numbered statue.
What this means for collectors
Collectors and fans interested in viewing the works can plan to visit Yokohama Takashimaya during the exhibition window.
For purchase and display inquiries, the SGC event page is the primary source of official details and pricing as published ahead of the Great Golden Exhibition.
