Best Pokémon toys and gifts for kids

The MEGA Pokémon Playset Forest Pokémon Centre is great for older children. The Pokémon Centre opens up so it can be played with, and it even has rotating doors. Popular characters Pikachu, Chansey, Eevee and Togepi. It comes with easy to follow instructions too.

One customer wrote: "The whole thing is laid out really well, the bags are numbered well and the booklet is really big with big, clear instructions. My 8 year old built this himself during the day, although I did need to assist him on a few steps which require a careful placement and something a steady, firm push."

The Squishmallows Pokémon 14-inch Winking Pikachu Plush is the softest and cuddliest teddy ever. Little ones will love squishing this Pikachu teddy as it's the perfect snuggle companion for at home, car rides and even at sleepovers.

One review from another Pikachu Squishmallow said: "Purchased for my son as a birthday gift as he collects squishmallows and he loves this one - it makes a perfect pillow too."

The Uncanny Brands Pokemon Pikachu Mini Waffle Maker adds a new level of fun to breakfast time. Easy to use and creating a Pikachu face on the waffle, kids (and adults) will absolutely love this waffle maker. It plugs in and can be stored away easily, and a huge bonus is that it's easy to clean.

One review said: "Was half expecting this to not work to be honest. But it actually does! Instructions are straight forward and easy to follow. Waffles are about the size of my hand, so not giant things. The kids went mental decorating!"

Perfect for adults and children with a Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo Switch Cargo Pouch Compact Eevee Evolutions has plenty of space to keep the switch and accessories stored securely. It's a beautiful and subtle design on the case.

One review said: "Love this soo much. It's perfect plenty of space for my accessories. Plenty of protection and just looks so good."

Filled with gorgeous and enchanting visuals that little ones won't be able to take their eyes off, the Nintendo Switch New Pokémon Snap consists of adventuring around the Pokémon world and capturing photographs of all the exotic Pokémon that they find. A simplistic, slow-paced and relaxing game that's easy for little ones to enjoy.

One review said: "I've played a bit of the original Snap, and this new version is brilliant, both nostalgic and has an awesome sense of freshness at the same time. I love it and recommend it to any Pokémon fan, especially if they have an interest in photography too!"

To brush up on their Pokémon knowledge, this Pokémon Super Extra Deluxe Essential Handbook will help them to learn all about the different Pokémon that have featured in the series across the years, including their strengths, weaknesses and, of course, how to become the strongest Pokémon trainer around!

One review said: "Bought this for my nephew last Christmas (almost 7 years old at the time). I've never seen him so interested in reading before (he absolutely hates books). He actually put the games down and was more interested in the book."

For a set of the most iconic Pokémon of the series, this Pokémon Plush Toys 20cm 4 Pack includes Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander. The good news? They won't have to choose between grass, water or fire because they'll have them all!

One review said: "Absolutely superb plush toys. Look even better than the photos. My girls love them. Thought about buying two individually for pretty much the same price and am very glad I went with these four. Thoroughly recommended."

A great puzzle, the Ravensburger Pokemon 100 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle, is extra large and features older generation Pokémon such as Charizard, Snorlax, Mewtwo and, of course, Pikachu. With 100 pieces to figure out, this puzzle is a challenge for the kids, encouraging them to build on their problem skills.

One review said: "Nice jigsaw. My seven-year-old is Pokémon mas, and he loves it. We enjoyed building it together and on his own. Sturdy pieces and a nice size."

The Pokemon Violet Nintendo Swithc game is another in the classic series, but this time with an open world concept, making the adventure a lot more fun and free. It has a great storyline and there's a lot more Pokémon for you to discover.

One review said: "This Pokémon game takes the best of its forerunners. Classic Pokémon game, but open world and catch style like Arceus. More things to do than battle gyms, such as beat the 'team' up to no good, and look for rare items. As such, the game provides greater play time for players. I've probably logged over 20 hours but only have 2 gym badges so far."

A great setting for their play is the Pokémon Carrycase Playset from Argos. With loads of little details, such as dens for water Pokémon, grass Pokémon and cave-dwelling Pokémon, it'll provide loads of entertainment. It also features a battleground where they can have their own Pokémon battles. Of course, it also folds away, meaning minimal mess!

One review said: "Was a great gift. My son really enjoyed this, was a lovely surprise for him.."

If they want to have a go at being the best Pokémon trainer around, this collectable Poke Ball can be used to catch Pokémon in real life too. The Pokémon Clip 'N' Go Balls come with a figure inside, and you'll be surprised to find either Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur or Squirtle.

One review said: "Bought for grandson who already has the belt they clip on to. He loves them. Good deal with buying two." Another said: "Hours of fun had by my son. These are great value too, just a shame you can’t choose which one you get when buying multiple."

These Slumbering Snorlax Bookends are brilliant! Tilting the books at a slight angle to make it look like Snorlax has knocked them over, Pikachu, Togepi and Timbur are at the other side trying to hold them up. They are pretty heavy, so make sure they are out of reach from children.

One review said: "Cute and whimsical bookends, love the detail on this one. The size and weight are quite hefty, which is perfect if you have any large hardback books that you need to hold in place. Looks awesome on the shelf!"

The 19" Sleeping Plush Charmander is large scale and super cuddly. Its soft fabric exterior and fluffy filling makes it ideal for play time, nap time and just snuggling in general. The special sleeping pose makes it a unique plush to other Pokemon teddies too.

With 24 holiday themed figures and accessories inside, each figure has a pearlescent finish to give them a lovely look.

One review said: "Can't wait for our son to see this advent calendar. He will love it Thanks "

The sweetest hanging ornament for the tree, the Pikachu Together for the Holidays Ornament features Pikachu himself, playing a Snorlax shaped drum.

One review said: "This is a stunning Christmas tree ornament highly recommend this item detail is perfect"

The Pokémon Boys Pikachu Christmas Jumper is perfect for girls and boys really, and comes in sizes 5 to 6 years, up to 11 to 12 years. It features a Pikachu with scarf and hat on the front.

One review said: "For grandson excellent fit quality and design very happy with purchase and delivery." Another customer wrote: "The boy is delighted. Beautifully finished sweater. It doesn't itch, it's nice and soft."

A great gift and Advent calendar in one, the Pokémon TCG: Holiday Calendar comes with eight foil promo cards that feature a festive stamp, as well as two Pokémon coins, two sticker sheets, a side kick dangler, and seven TCG-three card fun packs.

One customer wrote: "Well I can't talk about the product as it a advent calendar. But the package was in perfect condition and I did price up how much the cards would have been to purchase individual and this is the same if not a little cheaper."
