Thirty years of Pokémon is no small milestone, and The Pokémon Company is making sure every Trainer feels it. The celebrations have been rolling out steadily through 2026, covering new games, merchandise, and TCG releases across the year. However, the latest drop gives fans something genuinely personalised, with a brand-new customisable T-shirt line now live on the Pokémon Center, alongside a stacked TCG expansion launching this September. If you have ever wanted a shirt with your favourite Pokémon front and centre, this is exactly that.
What Is the Pokémon 30th Anniversary Custom T-Shirt?
The Pokémon Company has launched a print-on-demand customisable T-shirt line as part of its 30th Celebration collection, available now via the official Pokémon Center website. Each shirt features your chosen Pokémon in an iconic pose, printed alongside its name and Pokédex number, with a special limited-time “What’s Your Favorite?” graphic included on the bottom left of every shirt through Pokémon Day 2027.

How to Customise and Buy Your Pokémon T-Shirt
The process on the Pokémon Center website is straightforward. You can design and purchase your shirt by following these steps.
- Step 1 — Select Product Type: Choose between an Adult T-Shirt or a Youth T-Shirt
- Step 2 — Pick Your Pokémon: Browse all 151 Kanto Pokémon and select your favourite, or search by name
- Step 3 — Select Your Design: Some Pokémon, such as Ninetales and Galarian Zapdos, offer multiple design variants to choose from
- Step 4 — Choose Color and Size: Pick from white, black, gray, or navy in sizes Small through 5XL
- Step 5 — Add to Cart: Each shirt is listed at $24.99 and qualifies for free shipping as it exceeds the $20 threshold
- Step 6 — Checkout: You can check out as a guest, sign in to your Pokémon Center account, or pay directly via PayPal
Once your order is placed, allow 1 to 5 business days for production before your shirt ships, as each item is made on demand specifically for you. Standard shipping then takes an estimated 5 to 9 business days after dispatch.
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery, however, the return policy excludes digital products and Pokémon TCG items.
Which Pokémon Can You Choose?
The current selection covers all 151 original Kanto Pokémon, from Bulbasaur through to Mew, with regional variants also available as selectable options. Certain Pokémon offer additional design choices, so it is worth checking your preferred Pokémon for alternate versions before finalising your order.
The Pokémon Company has confirmed that Pokémon from additional regions including Sinnoh, Paldea, Hisui, and more will be added in the future, meaning the selection will expand well beyond Kanto over time.
The T-shirt line also joins a recently announced Kanto-focused Pokémon manga collection, making this a standout period for fans of the original games.

Each booster pack includes five foil cards and one foil Basic Energy card, with every pack also containing one of 30 unique Pikachu illustration cards.
