Meltan and Melmetal Pokemon Fit Plush

Pokémon Fit Welcomes Meltan and Melmetal to the Plush Collection This July

The Pokémon Company has officially expanded its hugely popular Pokémon Fit plush collection with the announcement of Meltan and Melmetal, two Mythical Pokémon that first captured fans' attention through Pokémon GO.

The adorable new plushies will launch in Japan on July 9, 2026, finally completing the Pokémon Fit lineup for every Pokémon originally introduced in the Kanto region and beyond.

For collectors who have been waiting years to see these unique Mythical Pokémon receive the Pokémon Fit treatment, the wait is almost over.

Pokémon GO's Mythical Duo Joins the Collection

Unlike most Mythical Pokémon, Meltan made its debut in an unusual way.

Originally revealed through a mysterious event in Pokémon GO in 2018, Meltan was the first brand-new Mythical Pokémon to debut in a mobile game before appearing in the main series. Players could evolve Meltan into Melmetal by collecting 400 Meltan Candy, making it one of the game's most memorable evolutions.

Both Pokémon later appeared in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, where Meltan could be transferred from Pokémon GO using the GO Park feature.

Releasing July 9 in Japan

The new Pokémon Fit plushies will be available from:

Release Date: July 9, 2026

Location: Pokémon Center stores across Japan and Pokémon Center Online Japan

As with many Pokémon Center Japan releases, international fans are also expected to have another purchasing option.

International Orders

While The Pokémon Company has not announced an international Pokémon Center release, collectors outside Japan are expected to be able to import the plushies through Amazon Japan, with pre-orders likely opening closer to launch.

Amazon Japan has become one of the easiest ways for overseas fans to purchase many Pokémon Center Japan-exclusive products, with direct international shipping available to Australia and numerous other countries on eligible items.

What Makes Pokémon Fit So Popular?

Known as Pokémon Sitting Cuties outside Japan, the Pokémon Fit series has become one of the most beloved Pokémon plush collections ever produced.

Each plush is designed to be:

- Compact and collectible. - Display-friendly. - Based closely on official game artwork. - Made to represent every Pokémon in the National Pokédex.

The collection now includes hundreds of Pokémon spanning multiple generations, allowing fans to build an entire Pokédex in plush form.

Pokémon G-SHOCK Watch

Pokémon x G-SHOCK Collaboration Arrives in Australia to Celebrate Pokémon's 30th Anniversary

One of the most exciting Pokémon collaborations of 2026 has officially landed in Australia!

Casio has unveiled its brand-new Pokémon x G-SHOCK GA-110PKM watch to celebrate Pokémon's 30th Anniversary, and Australian fans can now purchase it through the official Casio Australia store.

Blending G-SHOCK's legendary durability with Pokémon-inspired design elements, this limited-edition timepiece is one of the standout collector pieces released during the anniversary celebrations.

A Watch Inspired by the Original Pokémon Games

The collaboration is based on the popular GA-110 model and pays tribute to the original Pokémon adventures that began with Pokémon Red and Green in 1996.

Rather than featuring just one Pokémon, the watch incorporates subtle design references throughout, creating something that Pokémon fans will appreciate without being overly flashy.

Official design highlights include:

- A translucent strap inspired by Pikachu. - Red, blue and green accents celebrating the original Pokémon games. - A Poké Ball-inspired subdial. - Pokémon-themed details hidden throughout the watch. - A custom Pokémon 30th Anniversary presentation box.

The result is a watch that feels premium while still celebrating one of gaming's most beloved franchises.

Built Like a True G-SHOCK

While the Pokémon styling grabs your attention, this is still a full-featured G-SHOCK underneath.

The GA-110PKM includes many of the features G-SHOCK is famous for, including:

- Shock-resistant construction. - 200-metre water resistance. - World Time. - Stopwatch. - Countdown timer. - Multiple daily alarms. - LED illumination. - Magnetic resistance.

It's designed to be worn every day while also serving as a fantastic display piece for collectors.

Available in Australia

One of the best parts for Australian fans is that you won't need to import this release from Japan or the United States.

The Pokémon x G-SHOCK collaboration is officially available through Casio Australia, making it much easier for local collectors to secure one before they sell out.

Availability may be limited, as anniversary collaborations like this often prove extremely popular.

Pokémon's Pokéxciting Pop-Up Store in Kuala Lumpur

Pokémon's Pokéxciting! Asia Tour Kicks Off in Kuala Lumpur with a Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store

The Pokémon Company's 30th Anniversary celebrations are heading across Asia, and we've now got our first look at what fans can expect!

The newly announced Pokéxciting! campaign will travel across five major cities from late 2026 into early 2027, bringing Pokémon GO events, exclusive merchandise, live entertainment, and unique experiences to Trainers across the region.

Even better, the first stop on the tour—Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia—will feature a special Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store, an exclusive Pokéxciting Pikachu, and the possibility of something even bigger for Pokémon fans in Malaysia.

What is Pokéxciting!?

Pokéxciting! is Pokémon's latest anniversary celebration, created to commemorate the franchise's 30th Anniversary.

The event series will travel across Asia, with each city hosting Pokémon-themed activities and Pokémon GO events.

The current schedule is:

🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur

September 12–13, 2026

🇹🇼 Taipei

October 10–11, 2026

🇸🇬 Singapore

November 7–8, 2026

🇵🇭 Manila

January 23–24, 2027

🇹🇭 Bangkok

February 13–14, 2027

While each city will have its own celebrations, Kuala Lumpur is getting the biggest reveal so far.

Pokémon Center Pop-Up Coming to Kuala Lumpur

Alongside the event announcement, The Pokémon Company has officially revealed the first Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store for the Pokéxciting! campaign.

The temporary store will open at:

Ombak KLCC

September 12 – December 31, 2026

The store will offer a wide range of official Pokémon merchandise, including:

- Pokémon plushies - Trading Card Game products - Video games - Collectibles - Exclusive 30th Anniversary merchandise

The pop-up won't remain the same throughout its run either.

Instead, the store will feature rotating themes, changing over time to spotlight:

- Pikachu - Fire-type Pokémon - Grass-type Pokémon - Water-type Pokémon

This means fans visiting at different times may experience different displays and merchandise selections.

Meet the Turquoise Pokéxciting! Pikachu

Every great Pokémon event needs a mascot, and Kuala Lumpur's has officially been revealed.

Introducing the:

Turquoise Pokéxciting! Pikachu!

The special Pikachu wears an exclusive turquoise outfit unique to the Kuala Lumpur event.

Even better, Trainers attending the event will be able to encounter this special Pikachu in Pokémon GO during the event period.

The Pokémon Company has suggested that each city on the tour may receive its own exclusive Pokéxciting! Pikachu costume, giving collectors and Pokémon GO players even more to look forward to.

Free Family Entertainment

The Kuala Lumpur event itself will feature plenty of activities for Pokémon fans of all ages.

Visitors can expect:

- Pokémon GO event activities. - Meet and greets with Pokéxciting! Pikachu. - Family-friendly daytime entertainment. - Night stage performances. - A spectacular Pokémon drone show. - Exclusive anniversary merchandise.

Best of all, the event itself will have free admission.

Could Malaysia Get Its Own Permanent Pokémon Center?

Perhaps the biggest surprise to come from the event announcement wasn't the pop-up store itself.

During the press conference, Pokémon Company corporate officer Susumu Fukunaga reportedly suggested that Malaysia could potentially receive its own permanent Pokémon Center if the Kuala Lumpur pop-up performs well.

At the moment, the only permanent Pokémon Center in Southeast Asia is located in Singapore, although a permanent Pokémon Center has also been announced for Bangkok in the future.

A successful Malaysian pop-up could pave the way for another permanent Pokémon shopping destination in the region.

Pokopia Free Dive Update & Expansion

Pokémon Pokopia Announces Free Dive Update and Multi-Part Expansion Pass

Nintendo has officially unveiled exciting post-launch content plans for Pokémon Pokopia, with both a free update and a brand-new paid Expansion Pass set to keep players exploring well beyond the game's launch.

The first wave of content arrives in August 2026, introducing a fan-favourite feature that opens up an entirely new way to adventure.

Dive Into a Whole New World

The free August update will add the classic Pokémon move Dive to Pokémon Pokopia.

Once unlocked, players will be able to venture beneath the surface and explore underwater environments for the first time. While Nintendo hasn't revealed everything waiting below the waves, the addition of Dive suggests new areas, hidden treasures, and perhaps even Pokémon that can only be found beneath the ocean.

For longtime Pokémon fans, Dive has been a memorable exploration mechanic since the Hoenn games, making its return a welcome surprise.

Best of all, this update will be completely free for all Pokémon Pokopia players.

https://youtu.be/cdRnpr5yl1Y?si=TOdLX1fRwpjcgw50 Expansion Pass Announced

Alongside the free Dive update, Nintendo has also revealed a paid Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass.

The Expansion Pass will be split into three separate parts, with new adventures rolling out over the next two years.

Expansion Schedule

Part 1: Bubbly Basin

- Release: August 2026 - Launches alongside the free Dive update.

Part 2

- Planned for later in 2026.

Part 3

- Scheduled for release in 2027.

Nintendo hasn't shared many details about the later expansions just yet, but the staggered release schedule suggests Pokémon Pokopia will continue receiving major new content well into next year.

What is Bubbly Basin?

The first expansion, Bubbly Basin, appears to tie directly into the new underwater exploration mechanic.

While Nintendo is keeping many details under wraps, the name hints at an aquatic-themed area filled with new discoveries and adventures. Fans are already speculating that the Dive mechanic will play a central role in exploring this new region.

More information about Bubbly Basin is expected closer to its August release.

More Adventures on the Horizon

With both free and paid content planned, Nintendo is clearly committed to supporting Pokémon Pokopia after launch.

The combination of:

- A free Dive update, - A brand-new underwater exploration mechanic, - Three Expansion Pass chapters, - And content stretching into 2027,

suggests that Pokémon Pokopia will continue to grow with new areas and experiences for players to enjoy.

Release Dates at a Glance Free Update

August 2026

- Dive move added. - Underwater exploration unlocked. Paid Expansion Pass

Part 1: Bubbly Basin

- August 2026

Part 2

- Late 2026

Part 3

- 2027

The announcement of Pokémon Pokopia's first major update and Expansion Pass is great news for fans looking for more adventures after completing the main game.

The return of Dive is a nostalgic callback for longtime Pokémon players, while the Bubbly Basin expansion and future DLC chapters promise plenty of new content to look forward to. With updates planned through 2027, it looks like the world of Pokémon Pokopia is only just getting started.

Nintendo has said more details about the upcoming expansions will be revealed at a later date, so trainers should stay tuned for further announcements.

Pokémon UNITE x Pokémon Anime Collaboration

Pokémon UNITE x Pokémon Anime Collaboration Event Announced

The Pokémon Company has announced a brand-new collaboration between Pokémon UNITE and the ongoing Pokémon anime series.

Beginning on June 4th, 2026, players will be able to take part in a special limited-time event that brings characters, Pokémon, and themed rewards from the anime into the world of Pokémon UNITE.

The crossover celebrates the current Pokémon anime adventures of Liko, Roy, Dot, and the Rising Volt Tacklers, giving fans a chance to experience content inspired directly by the television series.

Anime Characters Coming to Pokémon UNITE

According to the announcement, several characters and Pokémon currently featured in the anime will appear during the collaboration.

While full details have not yet been revealed, The Pokémon Company has confirmed that special collaboration items exclusive to the event will be available for players to obtain.

These rewards are expected to include themed cosmetics, profile items, and other anime-inspired content.

More information on the event's rewards and missions is expected to be announced closer to launch.

Pokémon Anime Episode Will Feature Pokémon UNITE

The collaboration won't be limited to the game itself.

On June 19th, 2026, an episode of the Pokémon anime will feature members of the Rising Volt Tacklers taking part in a Pokémon UNITE battle.

Characters confirmed to appear include:

- Liko - Roy - Dot - Wult - Friede

This marks one of the biggest direct crossovers between Pokémon UNITE and the anime series since the game's launch.

Fans are already eager to see how Unite Battles will be adapted into the anime and whether any special references or surprises will appear during the episode.

A Growing Connection Between Pokémon Games and the Anime

Over the past few years, The Pokémon Company has increasingly connected its various games, anime series, and mobile titles through special events and collaborations.

Pokémon UNITE has previously celebrated:

- Pokémon Day events - Legendary Pokémon releases - Regional starter celebrations - Special anniversary campaigns

However, this is one of the first major collaborations to directly feature the current anime cast.

With Pokémon approaching its 30th anniversary, it appears The Pokémon Company is looking to bring its different branches closer together than ever before.

More Details Coming Soon

The collaboration begins on June 4th, but many of the event's rewards and activities remain under wraps for now.

Fans can expect additional announcements over the coming weeks as the launch date approaches.

Personally, I think this is a fantastic idea. The current Pokémon anime has built a strong cast of characters, and seeing Liko, Roy, Dot, Friede, and the Rising Volt Tacklers crossover into Pokémon UNITE feels like a natural fit. I'm especially curious to see how the June 19 anime episode handles a full Unite Battle and whether we'll get any special anime-exclusive skins or cosmetics in-game.

Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo Reopening

Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo and Pikachu Sweets Set to Reopen in September 2026

After months of closure, Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo and the attached Pikachu Sweets by Pokémon Cafe are finally preparing to welcome fans back.

The Pokémon Company has officially confirmed that both locations are scheduled to reopen sometime in September 2026, following their temporary closure in March after a tragic incident occurred inside the store.

Closed Since March 2026

Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo has remained closed since March 27, 2026 after a fatal stabbing incident that occurred inside the store on March 26.

According to reports, the incident took place at approximately 7:15 PM local time. Following the event, The Pokémon Company announced an indefinite closure while cooperating with police investigations and prioritising the wellbeing of staff members.

The closure also affected Pikachu Sweets, the popular takeaway dessert shop located next to the Pokémon Center. Fans visiting Sunshine City over the past several months have been met with shuttered entrances and closed gates.

Renovations and Safety Improvements Planned

The Pokémon Company has stated that the reopening period will be used to carry out partial renovations to the store.

In addition, new initiatives are reportedly being introduced to strengthen safety measures for both employees and visitors. While specific details have not yet been announced, many fans online have welcomed the decision to take extra precautions before reopening one of Pokémon’s most popular destinations.

One of Pokémon’s Most Important Stores

For many Trainers, Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo is considered the flagship Pokémon Center location in Japan.

Located inside Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, the massive store attracts visitors from across Japan and around the world. The location is known for:

- Exclusive Pokémon Center merchandise - Giant Pokémon displays and statues - Seasonal events and promotions - Direct access to Pikachu Sweets - Frequent collaboration campaigns and limited products

Because of its popularity, many fans were worried the location might remain closed permanently following the incident. The announcement of a September reopening has brought a huge wave of relief across the Pokémon community.

More Information Still to Come

At this stage, an exact reopening date has not yet been revealed.

The Pokémon Company has only confirmed that operations are expected to resume around September 2026, with additional information expected closer to reopening.

For Pokémon fans planning a future trip to Japan, this is fantastic news. Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo has always been one of the must-visit locations for collectors and Trainers, and it will be exciting to see what changes, renovations, and new experiences arrive when the store finally opens its doors again later this year.

Pokemon UNITE Meganium is here!

Get Meganium for Free in Pokémon UNITE Through New Limited-Time Event

The Pokémon Company has launched a brand-new event in Pokémon UNITE, giving players the opportunity to unlock Meganium completely free.

As part of the ongoing Johto celebrations in Pokémon UNITE, players can now earn a Meganium Unite License simply by completing special event missions.

https://youtu.be/-xH8SNBM_CE?si=4xYrlvoyjn7cI0KV Event Details

The event is available from:

May 22nd, 2026 at 4:00 PM until June 17th, 2026 at 8:59 AM

During this period, players can complete designated event missions to unlock Meganium's Unite License without spending Aeos Gems.

What Role Does Meganium Play?

Meganium joins Pokémon UNITE as a Supporter-style Pokémon focused on helping teammates stay in the fight through healing, buffs, and battlefield support.

While Typhlosion focuses on dealing damage and Feraligatr excels in close-range combat, Meganium offers a more team-oriented playstyle that can help turn the tide during important objectives and team fights.

Don't Miss Out

Like previous free Unite License events, players will need to complete the required missions before the event ends.

Once June 17th arrives, the free license opportunity is expected to disappear, with Meganium likely becoming available through the standard in-game purchase methods afterward.

Honestly, it's great to see Pokémon UNITE continuing to hand out new Pokémon for free through these events. Meganium has often been overlooked compared to Typhlosion and Feraligatr over the years, so seeing it finally get some spotlight as a playable Pokémon feels long overdue for Johto fans.

Some of these pieces honestly feel less like traditional anime merch and more like actual fashion accessories you could wear casually every day, especially the Dragonair and Eevee-inspired designs floating around online already.

Instead, the products are being marketed online as replica-inspired custom watches through independent sellers.

At the time of writing, no official Pokémon x Swatch or Pokémon x Audemars Piguet collaboration has been announced.

Honestly, while these definitely sit in the unofficial custom category, some of the designs actually look surprisingly clean. The Gengar and Pikachu versions especially feel like the kind of Pokémon fashion accessories fans would absolutely buy if an official collaboration ever happened someday.

According to official descriptions, the book contains over 1,000 Pokémon entries, making it one of the largest Pokémon guidebooks released so far.

The collector’s edition includes:

- The deluxe hardcover guide - A high-end multilayered collector’s box - Certificate of authenticity - Exclusive Pokémon Trading Card Game playmat - Two collectible video game art prints - Two collectible anime art prints

Pre-orders are now live through:

- Amazon US - Pokémon Center US US and Canada Only

At the time of writing, both versions appear to only be officially available in the United States and Canada.

Another Massive Pokémon 30th Anniversary Collectible

With Pokémon’s 30th anniversary celebrations continuing throughout 2026, this definitely feels like one of the bigger collector-focused releases announced so far.

Japans Pokémon Themed Airport

Japan’s Noto Satoyama Airport Becoming a Pokémon-Themed Airport Through 2029

Japan is taking its love of Pokémon travel to the next level, with Noto Satoyama Airport officially set to receive a major Pokémon makeover.

The airport, located in Ishikawa Prefecture, will feature a Pokémon theme from July 7th, 2026 through until September 30th, 2029.

Pokémon Decorations, Merchandise and Food Planned

According to official announcements, the airport transformation will include:

- Pokémon-themed decorations throughout the airport - Exclusive merchandise - Special Pokémon food and drinks - Pokémon photo spots and displays

The collaboration is part of ongoing tourism and regional revitalisation efforts connected to Pokémon’s long-running “Pokémon Local Acts” projects in Japan.

While full details have not yet been revealed, travellers can expect themed shopping areas, exclusive airport goods, and Pokémon-inspired meals similar to those previously seen at Japanese Pokémon cafés and transport collaborations.

Part of Pokémon’s Regional Tourism Projects

The airport project is tied to Pokémon’s broader efforts to support regional tourism throughout Japan.

Ishikawa Prefecture already has a strong connection with Piplup, which serves as one of the region’s official support Pokémon as part of the Pokémon Local Acts initiative.

Themed airports, trains, and aircraft have become increasingly popular in Japan over recent years, with Pokémon-themed ANA planes already becoming iconic attractions for travellers and aviation fans alike.

Pokémon Tourism Keeps Expanding

The idea of a fully Pokémon-themed airport feels like a natural next step given how huge Pokémon travel collaborations have become in Japan.

Between:

- Pokémon trains - Pokémon planes - Pokémon hotel rooms - Pokémon-themed train stations

…the franchise has already become deeply connected with tourism across the country.

Honestly, this is such a cool idea. Pokémon planes were already exciting enough, but now Japan is basically getting a mini Pokémon airport experience too. If they really go all-out with decorations, merch and themed food, this could easily become a must-visit destination for Pokémon fans travelling through Japan over the next few years.

Pokémon Mega Festa 2026 in Seoul Overwhelmed

Pokémon Mega Festa 2026 in Seoul Overwhelmed by Massive Crowds and Safety Concerns

Pokémon Korea officially launched Pokémon Mega Festa 2026 in Seoul this week as part of Pokémon’s ongoing 30th anniversary celebrations — but the event quickly descended into chaos after enormous crowds flooded the area on opening day.

The event transformed parts of:

- Seoul Forest - Seongsu-dong

into large Pokémon-themed zones packed with attractions, themed installations, merchandise, and promotional activities.

Overnight Lines and Massive Crowd Surge

According to local reports, fans began lining up overnight and from early morning in order to secure exclusive event rewards and promotional items.

By midday, estimates suggested approximately 40,000 people had flooded into the area surrounding the event.

Major attractions included:

- “Pokémon Secret Forest” - “Ditto Playground” - Pokémon stamp rally activities - Pokémon Trading Card Game promotions

One of the biggest draws was a limited promotional Magikarp Pokémon card tied to the stamp rally event.

Event Suspended Over Safety Concerns

As crowds continued growing throughout the morning, authorities reportedly began receiving overcrowding concerns from around 10:39 AM local time.

Videos and photos shared across social media showed packed streets and extremely dense crowds, with some users describing the atmosphere as:

“dangerous” “chaotic” “like a riot” “a zombie outbreak”

Police vehicles were reportedly dispatched to help manage the situation as conditions worsened.

Due to safety concerns, Pokémon Korea temporarily suspended major parts of the event, including:

- Stamp rally tours - Promo card distribution - Access to themed zones

Pokémon Korea later released an official statement explaining the suspension was necessary:

“Due to safety concerns caused by large crowds.”

Magikarp Promo Distribution Moved Online

The planned on-site distribution of the Magikarp promotional card was eventually cancelled.

Instead, Pokémon Korea announced the card distribution would move to an online registration system, with further details to be shared through official social media channels later.

Unfortunately, reports quickly surfaced claiming scalpers had already begun reselling the card online for approximately:

- 25,000–33,000 yen

almost immediately after the event shutdown.

Fans Criticise Event Organisation

Many fans online criticised the organisers for:

- Poor crowd management - Insufficient preparation - Holding such a large-scale event in a relatively compact area of Seoul

Some attendees also expressed frustration after waiting overnight only to have activities cancelled once safety concerns escalated.

Honestly, the footage coming out of Seoul looked genuinely intense. Pokémon events always pull huge crowds in Asia, but this feels like another reminder that Pokémon’s popularity right now is reaching levels organisers may still be underestimating — especially during the franchise’s 30th anniversary year.

Only five winners will receive each jacket design, making them extremely limited collectibles.

There is also a secondary prize of original BOSS QUO cards for thousands of winners.

QR Code Campaign Includes Pokémon Region T-Shirts

Another part of the campaign involves scanning QR codes found on participating coffee cans.

Fans who enter can instantly win one of five special Pokémon footprint-themed t-shirts based on different Pokémon regions:

- Kanto - Johto - Hoenn - Sinnoh - Unova

A total of 1,500 shirts will be available through the campaign.

The QR code event runs from June 1st until August 31st, 2026.

Pokémon Charm Packs Also Coming

Suntory is also releasing special “Craft Boss Café” two-pack coffee sets featuring Pokémon charms.

The packs include:

- Original Pokémon-themed packaging - Collectible charms - Four total design variations

These begin releasing from May 19th, 2026 while supplies last.

Japan Exclusive… But Australian Fans Still Have Options

Unfortunately, like many Japanese Pokémon promotions, international fans will not be able to directly enter the giveaways for the jackets or shirts.

Still, Australian collectors will probably be able to track down the collaboration cans and charm packs through local Japanese grocery stores and import retailers — similar to last year’s Pokémon BOSS coffee releases.

Honestly, even if we can’t win the insane Bulbasaur or Squirtle jackets, the cans themselves are still really cool additions for Pokémon collectors.

Pokemon Eating Collection

Pokémon Center Reveals New “Eating” Merchandise for Timeless Adventure Series

The Pokémon Company has announced the next wave of its 30th anniversary “Pokémon Timeless Adventure” collection, this time themed around “Eating”.

The new lineup will launch on May 14th via the Pokémon Center Online, continuing the celebration of Pokémon’s history with region-inspired artwork and lifestyle goods.

Hoenn-Themed Artwork Takes Center Stage

The “Eating” theme features a vibrant illustration set in the Hoenn region, showcasing:

- Pikachu - Treecko - Torchic - Mudkip

The artwork depicts the group enjoying berries and Lavaridge-style treats, capturing a fun and relaxed moment that fits perfectly with the “Eating” theme.

New Merchandise Lineup

The collection includes a mix of collectible goods and everyday items, all featuring the Hoenn artwork:

- A4 clear file - Sticker set - Acrylic block - Iridescent acrylic keychains with carabiner rings - Rolled cookies in a themed tin

The acrylic keychains are designed for customisation, allowing fans to attach additional charms and personalise their accessories

In line with the “Eating” theme, the collection also expands into kitchenware and practical lifestyle items.

New additions include:

- Heat-resistant square plates designed for everyday meals - A stainless steel PET bottle holder with a foldable carry handle

The bottle holder features a screw-cap style design that allows for adjustable height, making it compatible with a range of bottle sizes.

Alongside the main collection, a special piece of furniture is also being introduced.

The Wooper Mini Table will be available for pre-order through Pokémon Center Online. The table features a playful design with a tabletop styled like a water surface resting on top of Wooper’s head.

Another Step in the 30th Anniversary Series

The “Eating” collection marks the third themed release in the Pokémon Timeless Adventure series, following earlier themes like “Singing”.

With each release focusing on a different region and everyday moment, the collection continues to blend nostalgia with practical merchandise for fans.

The full lineup will be available from 10:00 AM on May 14th, exclusively through Pokémon Center Online.

Free Shiny Volcanion

Shiny Volcanion Distribution Now Live in Pokémon HOME

The Pokémon Company has launched a new Mythical Pokémon distribution in Pokémon HOME, giving dedicated players a rare reward for completing one of the franchise’s biggest Pokédex challenges.

Players can now obtain a Shiny version of Volcanion — marking the first time this alternate-colour variant has ever been officially made available.

How to Unlock Shiny Volcanion

Unlike standard Mystery Gift distributions, this reward requires players to fully complete the Pokédex in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

To qualify, players must:

- Complete all Pokédex entries in the base game - Complete the Pokédex for the “Mega Dimension” DLC - Capture or obtain every required Pokémon within Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Transfer all of those Pokémon into Pokémon HOME

Once these requirements are met, players will be able to receive Shiny Volcanion as a reward.

A Major Milestone Reward

This distribution stands out as one of the most demanding unlocks yet, requiring full completion of both the base game and its expansion content.

For many players, this effectively serves as a “true completion” reward for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, encouraging Trainers to catch and transfer every Pokémon available in the game.

First Official Release of Shiny Volcanion

While Volcanion has appeared in previous distributions, its Shiny form has never been officially released until now.

That makes this event particularly significant for collectors and long-time fans, as it finally allows players to obtain a legitimate Shiny Volcanion without relying on unofficial methods.

With Pokémon HOME continuing to expand its rewards and integrations, this distribution shows how the app is becoming a central hub for long-term achievements across the Pokémon series.
