The official Pokémon Center store has teamed up with the European Space Agency for the "Pokémon × ESA" space-themed collection. Following the reveal of a Pikachu plush that actually traveled to the International Space Station and other World Space Week initiatives, the full merchandise lineup has now arrived. The collection includes two Astronaut Pikachu plush designs, apparel, pins, patches, and a range of Pokémon Trading Card Game accessories. Both Pikachu plush toys are priced at $29.99 and are now rolling out across regional Pokémon Center websites.
We previously covered the ESA × Pokémon collaboration, highlighted by ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot taking a Pikachu plush with her to the International Space Station. Pikachu spent 67 days in space from April 11 through June 17, 2026, completing approximately 1,040 orbits around Earth. The retail collection features Pikachu in a white spacesuit and Pikachu in a blue flight suit, with both plush designs based on the version created for the mission.
Beyond the plush toys, the collaboration includes a flight jacket, hoodie, T-shirts, pins, and a four-pack of patches. The patch designs bring Astronaut Pikachu together with Cosmog, Lunatone, and Minior for a fully cosmic theme.
Pokémon TCG players can also pick up card sleeves, a double deck box, a playmat, and a zippered binder. Each accessory features the Pokémon × ESA collection's space-themed key art, giving collectors a matching setup for storing cards, carrying decks, and battling. An Astronaut Pikachu decorative figure and a 1,000-piece puzzle are also scheduled for release at a later date.
