New Mega Evolution plushies arrive at Pokémon Centers this June
Following the confirmed revival of “Mega Evolution” in the upcoming game Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A, a brand-new line of plush toys featuring these powerful Pokémon forms is set to launch.
Mega Evolution, a temporary transformation that significantly boosts a Pokémon’s stats and often alters its appearance, was first introduced in Pokémon X and Y.
Its return in Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A, which was recently confirmed to release this fall on both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, has sparked considerable excitement among the fanbase, and these new plushies perfectly capture the grandeur of these evolved forms.
The new plushie collection showcases a wide range of Mega-Evolved Pokémon, each meticulously designed to capture their unique characteristics and powerful presence.
Highlights of the collection include:
- Mega Charizard X: Presented with its jaw dramatically open and wings outstretched, capturing its immense power.
- Mega Altaria: Known for its cloud-like softness, this plushie promises an exceptionally pleasant touch.
- Mega Gardevoir, Mega Lucario, and Mega Gallade: These plushies feature movable body parts, allowing collectors to pose them dynamically and recreate their iconic stances.
The full list of Mega-Evolved Pokémon featured in this release includes:
- Mega Charizard X
- Mega Charizard Y
- Mega Gengar
- Mega Ampharos
- Mega Tyranitar
- Mega Gardevoir
- Mega Mawile
- Mega Altaria
- Mega Lucario
- Mega Gallade
Each Mega Evolution Pokémon plushie will be priced at 4,400 yen (tax included).
The new plushies will be available at Pokémon Centers across Japan starting Saturday, June 14th, 2025, with online availability via Pokémon Center Online beginning Thursday, June 12th, 2025, at 10:00 AM JST.
