Pokémon apparel collaborations in Japan

Overview

In late August 2026, several Japanese retailers announced upcoming Pokémon-themed apparel collections for September. Don Quijote and Apita were scheduled to begin selling a collection managed by Takara Tomy Arts on September 5, featuring characters such as Pikachu, Eevee, and Snorlax in men’s sizes.

Concurrently, the loungewear brand Gelato Pique announced its third “Pokémon meets GELATO PIQUE” collaboration, set for release on September 9. This collection includes the “Bemoco” knit series, which uses jacquard patterns to represent Pokémon evolution, and a “Gelato” knit series featuring 3D designs inspired by specific character traits. The lineup spans various demographics—including women, men, kids, and babies—and includes accessories such as hairbands, pouches, and cushions.
