New Pokemon Cheerleader Goods Line Includes Wearable Focus Sash

From December 14, 2024, the Pokemon Centers in Japan will start stocking cheerleader themed goods, including a Focus Stash that you can wear. These are part of a new line encouraging people to work or study hard.

The key visual for the new Pokemon line features Pikachu looking like a traditional Japanese rallying team member (an ouendan), while Plusle and Minun hold the pom-poms that you might see a more American cheerleader holding. Pikachu is wearing a Focus Stash while holding two differently-colored fans. While the physical stores will stock the following items from December 14, 2024, you’ll be able to get them two days earlier via the online shop.

The Pokemon cheerleading goods include:

• Fan: 2750 JPY
• Focus sash: 1100 JPY
• Lucky underwear: 1430 JPY
• Message card: 1430 JPY
• Pikachu plush – 3080 JPY
• Sarasa pen (Pokemon) and check sheet: 660 JPY
• Sticker: 330 JPY
• Vitamin keychains: 990 JPY (8 variations, can’t choose)
• Weakness Policy & Blunder Policy memo pads: 550 JPY

There are two different kinds of Sarasa pens and fans to purchase. One features Rayquaza and the other one depicts Victini. The stickers also come in two kinds. You can get a Pikachu one or a Plusle and Minun one.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the latest mainline entry in the Pokemon franchise, are readily available on the Nintendo Switch.
