Christmas Gift Ideas for Pokémon Trainers

It has been over twenty-five years since Professor Samuel Oak first let a young hero choose between three Pokémon. Whether players chose Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Charmander back then, they still remember that choice today. There are long since more than the original 151 Pokémon; over 900 have appeared across nine generations, and for an inexperienced Pokémon trainer, it can sometimes be hard to keep track. We'll help you find the best gift ideas that will delight every Pokémon collector, young or old.

Stylish clothing for any weather

How else to head out on an adventure than in stylish clothing? You can start with a Charizard t-shirt, or choose another one decorated with classic pixel art from the original games – perhaps Dratini, Snorlax, or Magikarp. Throw on a yellow Pikachu hoodie that even Ash Ketchum would envy, and top it all off with an Umbreon cap. Is it too cold for such things?

No problem! Christmas sweaters with Pokémon will keep you perfectly warm. A spooky Gengar or a Bulbasaur with a Christmas hat and pom-poms look absolutely great. And for truly freezing weather, we recommend a proper Eevee hat and scarf. Don't forget about socks and knee-highs, either.

Plushies and figures for collectors

You can rarely go wrong with an officially licensed figure or a cool plushie. Collectible figures are no longer just gifts for kids; many of them look great on the shelves of experienced trainers, too. How about brightening up a kid's room or living room with a cute Squirtle plush pillow? Or help complete a collection with a figure from the latest Funko POP! series – maybe a Lapras or Charizard.

For everyday joy

There is nothing better than starting every day with breakfast alongside your favorite Pokémon. How about making a Pokéball-shaped waffle or having tea from a stylish mug featuring your favorite starter Pokémon? 4 out of 5 Pokémon professors recommend these mugs for work, too. You can also enjoy your favorite drink from beautiful glasses with decorative gold detailing. Cheers!

Pokémon treats

When Ash set out from Pallet Town on his journey to find Pokémon, he didn't always have enough supplies on hand. Don't make the same mistake and head out on your adventure equipped with great Pokémon treats. Gengar and Horsea sodas will refresh you and surprise you with unusual flavors, while sweet candies will replenish your energy even in the toughest battles.

Pokémon TCG – collectible cards

You will make every Pokémon card collector happy by getting them more cards for their collection. Whether you choose a box from the current Paradox Rift set, opt for the exclusivity of the special Scarlet & Violet 151 set, an advent calendar full of Pokémon cards, or toss one or more boosters under the tree, you definitely won't go wrong.
