Pokémon × Natural History Presents Pokécology

While tickets to attend this epic collaboration in person are no longer available, there are still plenty of ways fans of Pokémon and the natural world can take part in the excitement.

The Pokémon × Natural History Museum pop-up shop is slated to open at the Cranbourne Boutique from 26 January through 19 April 2026. The space’s recently-announced theme, “Pokécology,” is inspired by the acclaimed Japanese publication Pokécology: An Illustrated Guide to Pokémon Ecology, and expresses Pokémon’s and the Natural History Museum’s shared appreciation for nature, from evolution to environment—a concept echoed in the products that comprise this unique collection.


As usual, Pikachu is taking center stage—or center exhibit—with a commemorative oversize Pokémon TCG promo card, Pikachu at the Museum, as a gift with purchase, which will also be available at select UK retailers as a gift with purchase on 30 January. This exclusive collection includes artwork, stationery, clothing, pins, bags, posters, and plush. Aesthetic inspiration ranges from scientific illustrations to architectural details of the museum itself.


For those unable to visit the pop-up store, there are still opportunities to shop and celebrate! Select items from the collection will be available at the Pokémon Center—to learn more about which products will be available and when, sign up for the Pokémon Center newsletter. Products from the collection will also be available on the Natural History Museum’s online shop, which ships worldwide while stocks last.

For Trainers who have secured their spot, purchase limits will apply to ensure fair access for fans throughout the pop-up’s run.

The theme of the special pop-up space is inspired by the acclaimed Japanese publication ‘Pokécology: An Illustrated Guide to Pokémon Ecology’, which explores how Pokémon live, interact with their environments, and adapt to habitats from deep forests to shadowy caves. As well as themed merchandise, the space touches on this concept through an artwork display.
