The Top 10 Best Pokémon Gifts: For Pokémon Trainers

Pokémon gifts are calling out for you to catch ‘em all, and we’re here to help you track down the best ones with our helpful gift guide.

The Pokémon franchise has been with us since the ‘90s, finding its routes as a video game series released on the retro Game Boy handheld console.

It has gone on to become one of the most prolific multi-media franchises in the world, with a hit anime TV show and even a film starring actor Ryan Reynolds as the fan-favourite Pikachu (yes, that’s a real thing).

Get those Poké Balls at the ready! This is our list of the top ten Pokémon gifts, with options for all budgets — prices low to high.

1. Pokémon Cartridge Power Bank (2600mAh)

Collecting Pokémon requires a lot of travelling about, and that means your gadgets are going to need a recharge — especially if you’re playing Pokémon GO non-stop. This pre-charged Pokémon power bank is exactly what you need to prevent any mishaps, ready to give your phone or tablet a boost. Courtesy of our electrifying friend Pikachu, this helpful little device includes a USB charging port, micro-USB charging cable, and LED lights with battery indicators.

2. Pokémon Movie Collection

Join Ash, Misty, and Brock on their adventures through the first three Pokémon movies, now available to experience in high-definition quality on Blu-ray. Witness the debut of mighty Mewtwo, the search for the Beast of the Sea, and the appearance of the legendary Unown. This collection will provide a nostalgic trip down memory lane for older fans or a fantastic new discovery for young viewers. With more than three hours run time, these films are a great addition to your Pokémon gifts.

3. Pokémon Bulbasaur Evolution Unisex Sweatshirt - Forest Green

Wrap up warm with this unisex sweatshirt, featuring none other than Bulbasaur. Exclusive to Zavvi, this unique print shows the evolution of this classic Grass/Poison Pokémon into the high-level Venusaur. First appearing in the original Pokémon Red and Green, Bulbasaur has been a loyal companion to many a Pokémon Trainer throughout the years. Presented in a character-fitting forest-green colour, the sweatshirt is available in sizes S–XXL.

4. Mega Construx Pokémon Tyranitar 5.75" Figure

Standing almost six-inches tall, this Tyranitar figure by Mega Construx shows the final evolutionary form of the reptilian Larvitar. Once assembled, this intimidating Rock/Dark Pokémon can be posed in various battle-ready positions, firing a powerful blast of concussive energy from its jaws. Fans of the franchise, aged six and up, will now be ready to take the fight to any wannabe Trainer with Tyranitar joining their Pokémon gifts.

5. Pokémon: Detective Pikachu - 4K Ultra HD

Everyone’s favourite lightning-tailed legend made the jump to the big screen with 2019’s mystery film Detective Pikachu. Directed by Rob Letterman, the film starred Reynolds as the eponymous crime-solving Pokémon. Unlike past movies in the franchise, this one reimagined the world of Pokémon in live-action. And Pikachu’s adorable ‘Pika Pika’ noises were replaced by Reynolds’ signature brand of witty humour. For any fan of comedy — not to mention some mind-bending Pokémon action — this one is sure to go down a treat.
