Pikachu is the star of all the merchandise, though it’s sporting a simpler design. Here are the prices for all of the items:

  • Assorted chocolates box: 3960 JPY
  • Assorted chocolates tin: 1404 JPY
  • Miniature tote bag: 2750 JPY
  • Mug: 2750 JPY
  • Pikachu with a heart doll: 2200 JPY

All the items feature heart patterns and Pikachu. Even the handle of the mug has a heart shape. While Ichiban Kuji collections or merchandise lines from Pokemon usually feature a variety of species, the “Pikachu with a heart” goods for Valentine’s Day only features Pikachu. This includes on the chocolates and snack packagings as well. Considering the enduring popularity of the Pokemon, as well as it acting as the face for the franchise, this is likely so that you can gift it to a casual or hardcore fan with no issue.

The Valentine’s Day chocolates and goods will appear via the online Pokemon Center on January 17, 2025. Physical locations will stock them on January 18. Other video game chocolates you can purchase for this year’s Valentine’s Day include ones of Pikmin and Animal Crossing from Godiva.
