New holiday gifts and decor coming soon to Pokémon Centers in Japan, including ornaments, snowman plushes, and mystery Magikarp

The Pokémon Company is debuting a selection of new merch for the upcoming winter holidays, which includes plenty designed to be given as gifts and some festive decor. Each piece in this list will be available at Pokémon Centers in Japan and at the Pokémon Center Online, most arriving in late November.

To start with decor, two ceramic ornaments from ceramic craft company Chugai Touen will be arriving at Pokémon Centers on November 27th, and to the Pokémon Center Online on November 29th. The ornaments feature either Ponyta and Pikachu for ¥3,080 ($19.63 USD), or Pikachu and Chingling for ¥1,760 ($11.22 USD). Pikachu and Chingling are a bell, and can be gently shaken to make a sound. The ornaments are designed as decor for New Year’s, and each one is handcrafted by artisans at the Yakushi Kiln in historic Seto City. These two ceramic pieces are based on designs by prolific Pokémon artist Atsuko Nishida, who has designed Pokémon in every Generation, including Pikachu.

There are also lots of winter holiday gifts upcoming, starting with a small collection of snow-Pokémon plushes. Plush snow Pikachu, Snorlax, and Slowpoke each come wrapped in a scarf for ¥2,310 ($14.72 USD). A plush of Pikachu rolling a snowball has a cozy Vanillite hat for ¥3,520 ($22.44 USD). Also available will be a souvenir gift box of cookies featuring Pikachu, Eevee, and Chikorita for ¥1,870 ($11.92 USD). These four plushes and the cookies will similarly be arriving at Pokémon Centers on November 27th, and to the Pokémon Center Online on November 29th.

Continuing with gifts, the company is debuting four tabletop games for kids which will arrive at Pokémon Centers on December 20th and to the Pokémon Center Online on December 18th. The first game, Wooper Challenge, is a stacking game featuring Paldean Wooper and Quagsire retailing for ¥3,960 ($25.24 USD). The Ditto game, Fourteen Transformations, is a wooden stacking or puzzle game for ¥2,750 ($17.53 USD). Pokémon Ton Ton Battle features Snorlax, Pawmot, Makuhita, and Hariyama in a sumo ring shaped like a Poké Ball, also for ¥2,750 ($17.53 USD). The final game, Aim For It!, features six plush Furret with different expressions in a game similar to bowling, retailing for ¥4,950 ($31.55 USD).

Finally, the Pokémon Center will be offering their annual mystery box, this time featuring Magikarp. The 2026 edition contains a Magikarp shoulder bag in one of three varieties: male, female, or Shiny. There are no probabilities announced for which variety a box might contain. Mystery boxes are available only via lottery, which is open now until November 27th. Winners will be announced on December 3rd, after which they can order and pay the ¥4,400 ($28.05 USD) for the box until Dec 9th. The box will also include some additional Pokémon goods currently not announced. Mystery boxes are not scheduled to be available in-store at any Pokémon Center location.
