Make way for Eevee and all Eeveelutions! Beginning May 13th, they’ll be invading Pokémon Centers across the Japan. Merchandise, Pokémon distributions for Pokémon Sun & Moon, photo opportunities, giveaways and so much more!
Finally, Eevee and the rest of Eeveelutions are joining the Pokémon Dolls Plushes series (with a special guest appearance of Alola region starters as keychains). Hats, towels, pencil cases, pouches, bags, jackets… And just when you think the Pokémon Center has covered all the bases, Ditto decides to join the party! The Ditto transformation goods that have charmed us all will continue to make us smile with its Ditto x Eevee figure collection.
For convenience, each Pokémon is getting a massive “loot” box that’s curated with all the merchandise focused on them. So far, only Eevee’s box has been revealed in detail, with the following items included: t-shirt, jacket, hat, towel, tote bag, badge, pin trading card case, Eevee Pokémon Doll plushes (standard and small), clear file, memo pad and headbands.
This really could be the perfect gift for any fan. If only we could see the box featuring a different Pokémon return in the future — a Bulbasaur themed box of goodies is now at the top of my wish list!
In addition to merch, there are events taking place. From May 13th to June 23rd, there will be a special Pokémon Sun & Moon distribution. (There’s no word on movesets, levels and which Eeveelutions will be available yet though.) Paper headbands representing each character will be given out while supplies last.
On May 13th and May 20th, some items will be available on amazon.co.jp, but they’ll more than likely appear on the restricted shipping list (limiting international shoppers to secondhand sellers). All we can do is hope that this collection will be available on the United State’s Pokémon Center site and elsewhere later this year.
