The official Pokémon Center stores are always buzzing, whether in Japan or globally, with fans flocking to grab the latest drops. And it looks like they're about to unleash another wave of must-have merch!
Get ready for the brand-new "Pata Pata! Plushie" series, featuring four adorable Water-type Pokémon whose fins actually flap! Each plushie will retail for 2,970 JPY and is set to hit Pokémon Center stores across Japan on August 8, 2026.

This charming collection stars four fan-favorite Water-types: Goldeen, Mantine, Mudkip, and Tatsugiri (Stretchy Form). Each plushie is crafted with meticulous detail, using glossy fabrics and varying pile lengths to perfectly capture the unique charm and aquatic essence of these Pokémon.
The real magic? Just give the plushie a gentle squeeze, and its fins will go "pata pata!" – flapping just like they're swimming through water. It's ridiculously cute!
