“Nyoro Nyoro Friends” Merch Line Announced for Pokémon Center Japan
The Pokémon Company has unveiled a brand-new and wonderfully quirky merch line for Pokémon Center Japan called “Nyoro Nyoro Friends”, celebrating some of the series’ most iconic long and wriggly Pokémon. The collection officially launches in-store on Saturday, August 23rd, 2025, with online sales beginning slightly earlier on Thursday, August 21st at 10:00 AM (JST).
Stretch, Twist, and Wriggle with Your Faves
This collection focuses on Pokémon with long, slender, and snake-like designs—including fan favorites like Dratini, Serperior, Milotic, Rayquaza, and Gyarados. Each item playfully captures the charm (and length!) of these Pokémon in everyday goods.
Highlights include:
- Bendable Plushies: The “Long Wriggly Plush” series features Milotic and Rayquaza plushies you can bend and pose, perfect for wrapping around shelves, chairs, or even yourself!
- Home & Desk Goods: A mug with Dratini curled adorably around the handle, plus a Serperior pen stand that looks like it’s coiled protectively around your stationery.
- Apparel: Stylish T-shirts featuring bold designs, such as Gyarados climbing up rocks or snake-like silhouettes wrapping around the fabric. Wear one, and it’s almost like your favorite serpentine partner Pokémon is coiled around you for an adventure.
- Stationery & Accessories: Cute, playful items for trainers who want to add a wriggly friend to their daily routine.
Wrapping Trainers in Charm
From the majestic Milotic to the legendary Rayquaza, “Nyoro Nyoro Friends” lets fans enjoy these Pokémon in fun and unexpected ways. Whether you’re sipping coffee with Dratini, battling in style with a Gyarados tee, or posing your plush Rayquaza like it’s soaring over Hoenn, there’s something here for every trainer who’s ever admired the elegant, slithery side of the Pokémon world.
