Not every Pokemon fan wants a binder full of cards or a shelf of plushies. Luckily, there’s a whole other side of Pokemon collecting worth exploring. There’s more than one way to catch ém all, and here’s where else to look for them.
Touch ‘n Go Pokemon-themed cards
Touch ‘n Go has released Pokemon-themed cards, making it a fun way to turn your daily commute into a small collectible moment. With the card in your pocket or wallet, it’s like you’re travelling with your Pokemon companion. TnG also has Pokemon-themed RFID stickers.
Arcade tags from Pokemon Mezastar
Pokemon Mezastar, the tag-based arcade battle game from Takara Tomy, launched across Malaysia (alongside Hong Kong, Indonesia and Singapore) in April 2025. Each stadium-shaped plastic tag is printed with a Pokemon’s stats and a scannable QR code. The tags represent the Pokemon lineup that you’re bringing to a battle in the game. The Mezastar machines can be found in shopping malls like Sunway Velocity, MyTown, Lot 10, and various AEON outlets nationwide.
Sparkling drinks with Pokemon on the can
Taiwanese drinks brand YHB makes Ocean Bomb, a range of ‘’deep sea sparkling water’’ sodas wrapped in Pokemon-themed cans. Some drink flavours include cucumber and original mint. The cans are a novelty item as much as a drink, and worth grabbing if you’re browsing in an Asian grocery store like MiX Store.
Crochet your own Pokemon blanket
Kinokuniya carries Pokemon-themed crochet pattern books, including amigurumi-style projects, that turn your afternoon into your own handmade Pokemon plushie or blanket square.
Pokedrive in mini cars

Pokemon has also made appearances as die-cast cars, like the ones by Takara Tomy’s Tomica. They have made a Pikachu bus and other Pokemon-themed mini cars. These mini car toys can be found in toy shops, some hobby shops, and specialty toy importers.
Pokemon tabletop games
Beyond the popular Pokemon video games, there have been various iterations of Pokemon board games and card tabletop titles that have made their way into Malaysia through hobby and board game stores. If you want something the whole family can play together, you can start with something everyone is already familiar with: Monopoly Pokemon.
Pokemon in fashion
Pokemon has several fashion collaborations over the years. Here are some places to get your hands on some cool clothes:
- Uniqlo ran a Pokemon 30th Anniversary UT graphic tee line, blending classic Pokemon art with the brand’s usual minimalist tee format.
- Padini has a dedicated Pokemon kidswear range, easy for parents to dress up their young Pokemon trainer.
- Forest Clothing did a homegrown Forest x Pokemon streetwear collection, giving the collab a distinctly Malaysian spin.
Pokemon activewear
Puma’s “Into Another World” Pokemon collection, built around the Espeon/Umbreon sun-and-moon theme, landed in Malaysia in April 2026. The collection features T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, oversized jerseys, and tracksuits available in Puma stores and online, priced roughly between RM159 to RM699.
Don’t forget the Pokemon shoes
Brands like Puma and Skechers have had their own Pokemon footwear collaborations in past drops, but you may be able to find them online. Meanwhile, Crocs offers a more personalised approach; you can decorate your Crocs with Pokemon Jibbitz (Croc’s charms). Crocs also caters to kids’ sizes.
Zebra’s Sarasa Pokemon pens
Zebra’s Sarasa gel pens have their own Pokemon line, and the artwork of each pen is simply elegant. The premium Sarasa Grand pens come in muted, almost jewel-toned colours themed around Bulbasaur, Lucario, Kabutops, and Mewtwo. Meanwhile, the classic Sarasa Clip is doing starter-evolution sets: A green Bulbasaur-family set, a red Charmander-family set, and a blue Squirtle-family set. Each set of three pens shows each Pokemon’s respective evolutions. Kinokuniya has been stocking them in Malaysia, so it’s worth checking their shelves.
