Pokémonis preparing for Halloween a month early with a new merch drop from The Pokémon Center, and it’s just as spooky-cute as you were hoping for.Pokémon’s Halloween range extends beyond the much-lovedspooky Trick or Trade trading cards, with costumed plushies and more.
ThePokémon Center’s first new Halloween items for sale in 2024 includefour keychains and two plushies.The new Poké plush keychains depict Pikachu, Rowlet, Froakie, and Fuecoco, all dressed up for Halloween with cute scared expressions on their faces. The two plushies are larger, non-keychain versions of the Pikachu and Fuecoco. The new items are joining the spooky Pokéween collection, and are available to ship immediately on purchase.
The Pikachu keychain and plushie are wearing a tiny black witch’s hat, while Fuecoco’s keychain and plushie hasthe Gen 9 fire starter Pokémonsitting inside a Jack-O-Lantern. Froakie and Rowlet only have keychain versions (so far), with Froakie in a witch hat, and Rowlet has a top hat.

2024’s Pokémon Halloween Drop Could Be More Than Just Plushies
A Later Release Than Normal
This year’s merch drop is actually coming quite a bit later than last year’s. The 2023 Halloween plush and keychain collection was announced in August 2023 and had a more orange-themed collection of Pokémon, includingthe three Gen 9 starters, Mimikyu, Greavard, Gengar, and a very festive Pikachu.

Our Take On The New Pokémon Halloween Merch
Crossing Our Fingers For The Missing Plushes
The Pikachu and Fuecoco look absolutely adorable, butI’m holding out hope that the Halloween Rowlet and Froakie will get plushie versions, too.Each of the designs looks like they have a strong attention to detail, and if previous plushies are anything to go by, fans should be able to expect the high-quality plushies usually sold by the Pokémon Center.
It’s possible that the Pokémon Center will add more plushes and merch for Halloween as the holiday draws closer.Looking at previous years, this isn’t likely, though.At this time, a group picture on the store page only shows the six newPokémonkeychains and plushies, suggesting this might be the full collection for fans this year.
