If you are like me, then you are completely obsessed with Pokémon, or maybe you have arrived here because you are looking to buy the best Pokémon gifts for someone who absolutely adores Pokémon.
Pokémon is loved by many ages, so in this article, I have listed a wide selection of gifts that target a wide range of ages.
From expensive collectibles to affordable trading cards, there’s something for everyone, and every single item on this list I have used and tested myself.
So you can trust my organic opinion on these products, from someone who has played Pokémon games since 1999!
So, let’s jump into my personal best Pokémon gifts of the year!
1. Official Poke Ball By The Wand Company
- Release Date: February 2021
- Price: From $109.00/£99.95
- Where To Buy: Amazon
One of the best Pokémon gifts I own is the official Poké Ball by a company called “The Wand Company”, who are renowned for creating high-quality replicas of pop culture brands.
They partnered with Pokémon in 2019 to create the perfect replica of the infamous Poké Ball, in both size and weight. The Poké Ball itself is made of metal, and the button lights up blue, or red to replicate the animation of catching a real-life Pokémon.
Not only that, it comes with a stunning display case that shines a bright light underneath it to give an “epic effect”. This light can change colour by tapping on the Pokémon logo. It’s the only Pokeball you’ll ever nee,d and it’s so well built that I am certain it will last a lifetime.
2. Pokémon Legends: Z-A
- Release Date: October 2025
- Price: From £42.99
- Where To Buy: Amazon
Pokémon Legends: Arceus shook up the Pokémon formula by bringing in an open world formula to the table, and now Pokémon Legends: Z-A brings a new spin yet again by taking us on a Parisienne-esque adventure jam-packed with Mega Evolutions.
Z-A looks mediocre on Switch 2, I'll admit, but thanks to the removal of turn-based combat, Pokémon battling feels much more fun, like a traditional Pokémon game crossed with Pokken Tournament. It adds a challenging aspect to the game whilst feeling familiar at the same time, and we're here for it!
It feels more like button bashing and dodging, which adds a somewhat challenging aspect to Pokémon battles, which is new and refreshing. The new Mega Evolutions offer a new variety to your favourite Pokémon, and character animation has definitely taken an upgrade, too.
It's worth snagging to explore Pokémon's new venture and to experience the fast-paced Mega evolution battles... just ignore Mega Starmie's new design. Ooof.
3. Wooden Hand-Made Pokémon Game Boy Cartridge
- Release Date: 2023
- Price: From $80.00/£74.00
- Where To Buy: Etsy
One of the most unique Pokémon gifts I own is hand-made by a seller on Etsy known as Pigminted, who creates custom wood pieces based on video games. More specifically, this one is based on Pokémon Game Boy cartridges from back in the day - I have Pokémon Red.
This ornament has been handcrafted from wood and cut out to create the logo and symbol alongside it, being treated with high-quality wood treatment to make it last a lifetime.
Yes, they are a little expensive, but it's an incredible piece of art that goes well on gaming setups, or it can be used as a coaster!
4. Pokémon Scale World Figures
- Release Date: 2019
- Where To Buy: eBay
If you still have an inner 90s collector in your soul, then these Pokémon Scale World figures should definitely be on your wish list. If you're wondering what the scale part is all about, each one of these incredibly detailed figurines is 1/20 scale of the actual measurements of the character or trainer they're based on from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh/Hisui, Galar, and Paldea.
Brandon has been amassing quite the collection above, and it's interesting to see how large Mewtwo is compared to the likes of Eevee and Squirtle. Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen Ash holding a Bulbasaur in the cartoons and that thing is massive... he must have been a strong kid! I've seen people holding the Venusaur figurine and it covering the palm of their hand, so imagine how big one of those would be in real life!
5. Pokémon Trading Cards
- Release Date: October 2025
- Price: From $14.00/£12.99
- Where To Buy: Amazon
It wouldn’t be a Pokémon gift guide without recommending more Pokémon cards, right? It’s typical for the Pokémon company to launch a new set of Pokémon cards every few months.
This is mainly a marketing tactic, but it also opens up the opportunity to discover new cards, new art and new Pokémon.
Each set is different, and each set comes with a certain number of cards to complete a set, for example, 250 cards. In each set are different rarities of cards, some are common which are 1 in 6 cards, and some very rare Pokemon cards known as “secret rares” which are as rare as 1 in 500 cards.
So completing the whole set is fairly hard, but choosing a set wisely will help you enjoy the trading card collecting side, as well as playing the actual card game with counters and cards based on power.
The TCG is one of the most popular Pokémon gifts for a reason: it’s fun, it’s addictive, and it’s a good hobby to get into that keeps the mind active.
6. GAMENOOK The Barrier
- Release Date: October 2025
- Price: £19.99 (PRE-ORDER)
- Where To Buy: GAMENOOK
Our sister company's slogan is simple - the planet deserves better, and so does your collection. We take plastic from the ocean and landfill to make cases and stands for your collection, and 'The Barrier' is the ultimate way to protect your PSA Graded cards while showing off your love for your favourite Pokémon.
The Barrier clasps around the front and back of your graded card, making it look unique and giving it even more protection from bumps and knocks. And at under £20, it's a great way to add some extra style to your collection while helping the planet. Plus, for every order, we plant a tree - what's not to love?
7. Pokemon Monopoly
It can’t be a gift guide without featuring the infamous Monopoly board game. Lucky for Pokémon fans, Nintendo has teamed up with Monopoly to create a Kanto Edition board game that features 6 metal Pokémon tokens.
This board game is based on the original Pokémon games within the Kanto region, so when you play through the game, you’ll find infamous locations, friendly Pokémon and annoying rivals ready to entertain you while you build your properties.
You can play with up to 6 people, you’ll face trainer battles which are typically your question mark cards, and instead of locations you catch Pokémon, and make them stronger and stronger so that you win battles that pay you.
It’s a great Christmas gift to get friends and families involved around the festive period.
8. Pokemon Funko POP! Figures
Funko POP! collectibles have been everywhere over the last few years and that’s for good reason, they are an affordable gift, and they come in all different shapes, sizes, and characters.
One of the best lines of Funko POP! collectibles has to be Pokémon. Not only because (eventually) you will be able to collect over 151 of them, but because they are another way of collecting them all.
Pokemon fans simply love collecting; it’s the whole premise of every single game, so having a physical Pokemon to collect makes it more enjoyable for the consumer, especially when these Funko POPS also come in different rarities.
They look great on desks, in bedrooms or even still boxed if your friend or family members like keeping things sealed!
9. Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee
- Release Date: November 2018
- Price: $51.99/£37.99
- Where To Buy: Amazon
If you grew up with Pokémon Red, Blue, & Yellow, then you need to have Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu or Eevee for your Switch. Reliving the original Kanto Adventure with Pikachu or Eevee by your side and running around a world that feels far more immersive than it did back in the Game Boy days is, quite frankly, incredible.
The game even adds motion controls and local multiplayer, too. There's even a Poké Ball peripheral that you can use to catch your Pokémon! The games are a joy to play no matter where you joined the Pokémon series, though as I started right at the beginning and put hours into finally beating the Elite Four on my yellow Game Boy DMG, I'm probably a little biased!
10. Pokémon Plushies
- Where To Buy: Amazon
Pokémon plushies are another way of collecting physical forms of Pokémon, and they can be given as a gift to any age, or if you’re like me, even a dog! The Nintendo company have tens of thousands of plushies to choose from, many made to promote their upcoming games, and many just to be darn right adorable.
So finding a Pokémon plush is as easy as finding what Pokémon you like! If you keep them in good condition for many years, they can sometimes go up in value if you have rare ones!
But don’t count on it, Nintendo makes a lot of these!
11. Cheatcode Pokémon Tees
- Release Date: August 2025
- Price: From £39
- Where To Buy: Cheatcode
I mean, can you get any more nostalgic than a Pokémon Tee shipping in a foil packet that looks and feels like an oversized pack of Pokémon cards? No... no you can't.
Our friends over at Cheatcode have begun making these Pokémon tees recently, and as I mentioned above, the packaging is superb. Everything about them is perfect, right down to the Wizards of the Coast-style branding and copy. The original 3 shirts were inspired by the final evolutions of the Kanto starters - Charizard, Venusaur, & Blastoise, and while they've currently sold out, Cheatcode have regular drops with new designs planned for the coming months.
After speaking with Cheatcode recently, they told me that they're working on the next set now, which will be inspired by Jungle Pokémon! They also have a bundle deal planned for the future, so watch this space and their website for more information!
12. Clefairy Squishmallow
- Release Date: January 2024
- Price: $24.99/£22.99
- Where To Buy: Amazon
Look what I found hiding in the bushes outside my house! Before I could grab a Pokéball and try to catch it, my girlfriend pointed out that it was just her Squishmallow and that I'm a 35-year-old man who isn't a Pokémon Trainer... thanks, Tash.
This officially licensed cuddly Clefairy is the perfect gift for anyone who likes to snuggle up to a cushion when watching a film or snoozing on the sofa, and it's always happy to see you no matter what kind of day you've had. I guess the clue is in the name, but it's incredibly squishy and very well padded, meaning you can give it an extreme amount of cuddling without it losing its shape.
At 14" tall, it's not going to hurt you if it suddenly tries to use pound or tackle... just watch out for Moonblast if it gets angry!
13. Hori Split Pad Pro
- Release Date: November 2020
- Price: RRP: $49.99
- Where To Buy: eBay
The Hori Split Pad Pro makes handheld play on the Nintendo Switch so much more comfortable. This is an officially licensed peripheral and one that we use on a daily basis when testing games.
You can show your love for Pokémon, too with this black and gold Pikachu design. And you’ve got to admit that it’s seriously stylish.
The Hori Split Pad is essentially feels like the Pro controller, just split into two. It slides on the same way as the Joycons and has turbo and assign settings for anyone wanting to get the edge on their favourite games. The analog sticks feel really nice too, a quality product that is bound to make playing Pokémon Scarlet and Violet even more enjoyable!
14. Johto Legends: Music From Poke
- Release Date: July 2017
- Price: $85.00/£81.00
- Where To Buy: Amazon
From ‘gotta open ’em all’ to ‘gotta spin ’em all’, this Johto Legends: Music From Poke is a slick vinyl celebrating the sounds of Pokémon Gold and Silver.
A coloured vinyl paying homage to the winners of our best Game Boy Color games… what’s not to love!
One hour of orchestra music, perfectly arranged for maximum nostalgia. It’s a brilliant feeling just sitting back and reminiscing about the first time I played these fantastic games and the epic moments I experienced while moving through Johto.
And that silver LP is something else, too. I could definitely see that framed on the wall as well as being played!
15. Pokémon Scarlet & Violet on Nintendo Switch
- Release Date: November 2022
- Price: $49.00/£37.99
- Where To Buy: Amazon
One of the best Pokémon games of 2022 is going to be Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, it introduces a new generation of Pokémon, new locations, new mechanics, and even Pokémon that you can ride like mounts.
Released back in November 2022, it quickly became the biggest Nintendo game of the year. Pokemon fans went mad for it, and at under $50, it’s by far one of the best Pokemon gifts to keep Poke’enthusiasts happy for many months.
Typically, gamers can lose themselves for up to 50 hours in a Pokémon game. I know I did in Pokémon Legends: Arceus!
