Pokémon TCG Pocket Merch Launches Exclusively in Japan
If you're a Pokémon TCG Pocket fan with dreams of showing off your love for the game through exclusive merchandise, there’s both good and not-so-good news. The good? A fresh lineup of officially licensed Pokémon TCG Pocket merch has officially dropped. The not-so-good? For now, it's only available in Japan.
The merchandise collection launched over the weekend and is currently accessible via the Japanese Pokémon Center online store. A quick peek at the international version of the site confirms that these items aren’t live elsewhere—yet. However, there’s a silver lining: given the global popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, it’s not out of the question that this merch could eventually reach other regions.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s on offer for lucky fans in Japan:

This limited collection features an array of charming collectibles and lifestyle accessories, including:
- Paper theatre pieces: Mini 3D dioramas styled like trading cards—perfect for display or gifting.
- Smartphone shoulder straps: Functional yet stylish phone accessories for on-the-go trainers.
- Keychains: Compact and adorable ways to carry your fandom wherever you go.
- Sacoche bag: Featuring interior lining printed with the Pikachu EX immersive card art—ideal for collectors and fashion-savvy fans alike.
It’s no secret that Japan often gets first dibs on niche and region-exclusive merchandise. From pop-up cafes to limited-edition collectibles, fans outside the country have grown accustomed to missing out on unique experiences. Still, hope isn't lost—especially when it comes to globally beloved franchises like Pokémon.
Given the enthusiastic reception of Pokémon TCG Pocket, it’s entirely possible we may see this merchandise expand beyond Japan in the near future. In the meantime, if you're searching for creative gift ideas for the Pokémon fan in your life, these items would certainly make a splash.
