Pokémon TCG Pocket brings its iconic cards to life
For fans of the mobile hit Pokémon TCG Pocket, the wait is almost over. The Pokémon Company Japan has announced the first official wave of merchandise inspired by the game’s most iconic cards.
Launching on April 5, 2025, the collection will debut exclusively at Pokémon Centers across Japan and through official online channels.
This marks a significant moment for the franchise, bringing the visual artistry and aesthetic of the Pocket cards into the real world for the first time.
Leading the release: Pikachu ex, Charizard ex, and Mewtwo ex
Three of the most recognizable Genetic Apex cards headline the merch drop:
-
Pikachu ex – the beloved mascot, reimagined with electric flair
-
Charizard ex – a timeless fan favorite, dynamic and fiery
-
Mewtwo ex – the legendary Psychic Pokémon, sleek and powerful
These three are now immortalized in Paper Theater dioramas—3D displays made of layered paper to mimic the immersive depth of in-game card animations. The effect is stunning, making these pieces perfect for display or gift-giving.
What’s in the merch collection?
This first line of Pokémon TCG Pocket merchandise includes:
-
Paper Theater 3D displays featuring Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo
-
Sticker sets using the original Genetic Apex pack artwork
-
Pack hourglass keychains
-
Pikachu ex phone strap
-
Shoulder bag with hidden Pikachu design inside the pocket
Each product is crafted with attention to detail, reflecting the bold and elegant visual identity of Pokémon TCG Pocket.
Release date and how to buy
The collection releases on April 5, 2025 exclusively in Japanese Pokémon Centers and via official online stores.
There is no confirmation yet of international release, but based on past merchandising for spin-offs like Pokémon Sleep or Pokémon Café ReMix, a global launch is possible in the future.
For international fans eager to collect, Japanese proxy shopping services remain the best option.
More than merch: it’s a new form of card appreciation
This merch line isn’t just about cute or collectible items. It’s a celebration of how digital card design can evolve into physical artistry.
The Paper Theater displays represent a growing trend in Pokémon culture: turning the most visually stunning cards into displayable art, bridging the gap between game and gallery.
What’s next?
With shiny cards recently introduced to TCG Pocket, fans are already speculating which cards might receive Paper Theater adaptations next.
Cards like Giratina ex, Darkrai, and other fan-favorites could soon join the collection—expanding the merchandising universe and giving players more reasons to connect with their favorite cards off-screen.
