Spooky season has arrived at the Pokémon Center, with an array of delightfully ghoulish new Halloween themed merchandise available! The range this year is called the ‘Ghost Chateau‘ collection, so think haunted houses, chilling costumes and generally spookiness.
New Plushies
The new plushies are always a highlight of the Halloween range, and 2025 is no exception! If we are lucky, we could potentially see some of these costumed cuties in game in Pokémon GO.
A new scary Pikachu is always a must have for this time of year, and this one is exceptional! The Drifloon inspired candy bucket for trick or treating is such a cute detail, as are the Giratina nods in the hat and the tie. Plus that expression!
The other main plushie is this vampire inspired Cyndaquil! Who knew we needed Count Cyndaquil in our lives? I know I do having seen them now. What a fantastic choice of costume, that was quite unexpected. A must have for every creepy collector.
The rest of the plushie range is focused on key chains, with a troupe of other horrifying Pokémon featuring.
The Cyndaquil returns as a key chain, along with Drifloon carrying a Pikachu, Teddiursa in a witch hat, and a tiny Noibat!
The Drifloon is the real stand out. It references various Drifloon Pokédex entries that imply that it aims to get children to take it by the hand, to then carry them away to the after-life. In this case, a sweet Pikachu has fallen prey! Teddiursa is dressed up as the sweetest little witch you ever did see, but Noibat? I am not entirely sure what Noibat is dressed as, but it does have an eerie lace headband with a pumpkin and an orange bow so it is trying at least.
Cubone Focus
One of the highlighted Pokémon for 2025 is Cubone! There is a fleece blanket, a jumper, a mug and a 500 piece puzzle!
Cubone has one of the saddest stories in Pokémon history, making it perfect for a spooky yet devastating Halloween collection. The mug having a bone for a handle is a neat detail, and would be an ideal gift for the Cubone fan in your life.
Clothing
A range of t-shirts, hoodies, jumpers and cardigans with seasonal themed Pokémon have released with the Halloween merch, perfect for the ghost type trainer!
The hoodies feature Hisuian Zorua, Gastly and Misdreavus, with a small print on the front, and a larger more detailed and colourful print on the back. Who doesn’t love a good zip up hoodie for the chillier times ahead?
The jumper and cardigan are, in my opinion, some of the absolute top tier options. The variety of Pokémon featured, and the detailed designs are spook-tacular!
Homeware
If you love Halloween, then Halloween Pokémon homeware is a need! The Mimikyu and Cubone statues describes themselves as yard statues, with recommendations being placed on patios and gardens. They is made of resin and only 14 inches tall, so sadly infinitely steal-able, so we’d recommend keeping it indoors safe!
There are some new light boxes and string lights this year, including some pumpkin themed ones! With Gengar and Pikachu pumpkins, these are so cool! I’m a spooky all year round kind of gal, and I 100% would proudly have these out full time. Imagine how warm and cost your space will feel lit up by pumpkin Pokémon?
Each year the Pokémon Center release a handful of Pokémon as new bauble style tree ornaments, and this year Greavard, Phantump, Cubone and Misdreavus were the chosen few. Phantump feels like a particularly silly choice, a tree Pokémon as a tree ornament, and these could all easily double up as Christmas tree decorations too!
And finally, another really fun homeware piece for anyone who decorates for the horror movie season, are creepy Pokémon window clings! A huge mixture of Pokémon are available, including the Gengar style pumpkin, with Lunatone and Mandibuzz more unexpected inclusions.
