If you thought Pokémon merch had already colonized every corner of your life, meet the new frontier: your pet. Pokémon Center has rolled out its first-ever pet accessories line, Pokémon Playful Partners, a full range of bowls, beds, harnesses, leashes and toys designed to let cats and dogs share the spotlight with their Trainers.
Inside the collection
Artist James Turner — whose rounded, friendly take on classic Pokémon has become a fan favorite — provided the new illustrations, and the lineup leans heavily into cuddly charm. Expect Pikachu, Snorlax, Magikarp and more decorating silicone can covers, treat jars, soft beds shaped like sleepy Snorlax, and practical items such as harnesses and leashes.
Prices span affordable doodads to investment pieces: small items like silicone can covers sit around £7.99 / $9.99, while the large Snorlax bed commands a premium at about £179.99 / $229.99. For collectors and pet parents who like matching gear, the range makes it easy to theme a whole setup — and it’s honestly pretty adorable.
Where to buy and the adoption tie‑in
The collection went live on Pokémon Center and is available in multiple regions, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and the U.K. You can browse the range directly at the Pokémon Center or check the official announcement on Pokémon.com.
To celebrate the launch, Pokémon Center will have product on display at the Pokémon North America International Championships in New Orleans (June 11–14, 2026). There’s a feel‑good angle too: the launch coincides with a partnership with the Louisiana SPCA for a pet adoption event in New Orleans tied to the championships — a neat bridge between promotional merch and a real-world animal welfare effort.
If you’ve been waiting for a way to declare allegiance to Team Dog or Team Cat while walking the neighborhood, this is it. And if you’re allergic to matchy outfits but still want a cool bowl or toy on the side, there’s something practical for that too.
Whether pet parents will embrace another niche of fandom-designed products remains to be seen, but given how fiercely collectors snap up limited merch, expect these pieces to be popular — especially the big, cozy items that double as photoshoot props.
