The best Pokemon merch to celebrate 30 years of the beloved series, chosen by superfans

After three decades of pocket monsters, super-effective attacks, and weird little guys who hang out by the side of the road waiting for battles, compiling a list of Pokemon merch is easy. The best Pokemon merch, though? Well, that's a different matter.

Because the GamesRadar+ team and I have been fans of the franchise since it first hit shelves 30 years ago, we aren't short on recommendations. Whether it's plushies, toys, replicas, or accessories, there's plenty to choose from. To keep things simple, I've limited our suggestions to the very best Pokemon merch below. If you've got a limited budget or don't fancy spending hours trawling the digital shelves, these are the products I'd start with. They range from must-have add-ons for your Switch to some of the best toys.

Crucially, the following have been chosen either because we have these Poke-prizes ourselves or they boast incredibly positive user-reviews. That means these entries should delight fans regardless of what they're looking for.
