The Pokemon Pokopia plushies are so cute that they're about to transform my bank account into a big pile of zero dollars
If, while playing Pokemon Pokopia and perusing the best Pokemon merch online, you thought to yourself, "I wish I could own the bizarre human-Ditto amalgamation as a plushie" then do I have good news for you. There's not one, but two official plush versions of Pokemon Pokopia Ditto, which include that two-dotted eye'd stare that feels like it's reaching into your soul.
The best part isn't how unnerving they look, but the fact that they've both finally landed at the US and UK official Pokemon Center online stores for $29.99 (Pokemon Center) / £24.99 (Pokemon Center) each. They're even dressed in some accessories that you can find in-game - including the adorable Poke Ball printed hat and little backpack, and aren't just plushies, but keychains that you can attach to your very own real-life backpack. The two are joined by a Castform Weather Charm Plush, which is a faithful recreation of the one you can find in Pokopia, though don't expect it to alter the weather and bring out the sun this summer.
These official plushies have been a long time coming. I've seen photos of Pokemon Pokopia fans in Japan with these for months now, and had been dreaming of when I could finally add them to my own personal collection. I've got almost 100 hours in the game, but the only "official" plush of sorts I own is the tiny Ditto one that was given out as a freebie to those who pre-ordered the Switch 2 game straight from the online Pokemon Center stores. It's cute, but not the same.
Finally, both the US and UK Pokemon Centers are pilling on the official merch, and these plushies are a great place to start. As strangely unnerving as I find the human-Ditto, the plush keychains are pretty adorable. While made from fabric, the squishy hairstyles look perfectly recreated, and I adore that there's even a little embroidered Ditto patch on top of their heads - one that matches the collectible stickers you can gain as you progress through the game.
The 8-and-a-half-inch-tall Castform Weather Charm Plush that's available for $19.99 (Pokemon Center) / £17.99 (Pokemon Center) is even cuter, and as shared by the official Pokemon site, you can flip it over if you want to display its Rainy Form instead. I personally prefer the Sunny Form as we have plenty of rain here in Scotland as it is, as I wouldn't want to jinx anything. However, combining both options into one piece of merch is a bit of a stroke of genius if you ask me, especially as it saves fans a bit of extra cash.
My only qualm is that the entire range of Pokemon Pokopia plushies has yet to make an appearance. It's not just the human-Ditto and Castform plushies I've been envying up in fans' photos on the likes of Instagram for months now, but there's an official plush of Peakychu, Mosslax, and Professor Tangrowth. Fortunately, the official Pokemon X (Twitter) account shared on March 16, 2026, that they'll be "coming this summer from Pokémon Center" so I shouldn't have to wait long. Which is great news, as I've already spent time cultivating the perfect habitat that should make the moss-covered Snorlax plush happy and humid.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
