The Pokémon Company has once again announced that a Pop-up Pokémon Store will be available in the Harrods Knightsbridge store in the United Kingdom for 6 weeks in early 2023. It has previously been opened to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise.

Pokémon Creates Sparkling New Pop-Up in Harrods Knightsbridge Store

London, UK — The Pokémon Company International has taken over Harrods’ toy floor for six weeks of dynamic fun. Spanning the half-term holidays and celebrating Pokémon Day on 27 Feb., the pop-up offers a host of exciting activities for visitors to the world-famous department store in Knightsbridge, London.

The prominent, branded space in the store’s fourth-floor toy department celebrates a vibrant selection of lovable, all-time favourite Pokémon who can be found on land and in the sea and sky across different regions of the Pokémon world. Colourful and vibrant graphics, displays and digital screens feature dynamic content from key components of the Pokémon brand, including video games, the Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon animation, as well as the latest toy releases. Alongside a fabulous selection of Pokémon products is a rich assortment of themed activities, including cute giveaways, photo opportunities and costume character visits in mid-February, creating an exciting and immersive destination pop-up for Harrods customers.

With a wide range of Pokémon products — toys, the Pokémon TCG, stationery and accessories — there really is something for everyone. Visitors can browse a selection of Jazwares’ hugely popular toy line, including Battle Figures, a variety of plush in different sizes — including 8-inch and 18-inch Sleeping Plush — and the Clip ’N’ Go Poké Ball Belt Set. Other highlights include Mattel’s MEGA construction sets, covetable collectibles from The Wand Company, bespoke prints from GB eye and Teknofun’s lamps and wireless speakers.

“We are delighted to get back together with Harrods to create this exciting new pop-up where fans old and new can celebrate Pokémon,” said Mathieu Galante, licensing director (EMEA) for The Pokémon Company International. “With a host of the most-loved Pokémon filling the space along with fun activities, we hope to offer an inspiring and engaging experience that will enjoy the huge success of our previous collaborations with this iconic store.”

This latest Pokémon space in Harrods follows a hugely successful pop-up in August 2022 that accompanied the Pokémon World Championships held at ExCeL London — the first time the tournament had been held outside North America. The pop-up continues the fruitful collaboration between TPCi and Harrods that began in May 2019 with a monthlong takeover to promote the launch of the hit live-action movie POKÉMON Detective Pikachu. Additional pop-ups followed in February 2020 to celebrate the launch of the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield video games and in 2021 as part of the phenomenally successful Pokémon 25th anniversary celebrations.

The Pokémon Company officially revealed the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet set on December 9th, 2022. The price of a booster pack will increase from $3.99 to $4.49 USD with this set but will now feature three guaranteed foil cards per booster with a rarity of “Rare” or higher. The Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet expansion will be launching worldwide beginning on March 31, 2023.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet Brings Changes to the Pokémon Trading Card Game

Learn about the changes being made to the Pokémon TCG in the upcoming Scarlet & Violet Series.

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet launched last month and ushered in a new generation of Pokémon as Trainers embarked on their Treasure Hunt through the Paldea region. The Pokémon Trading Card Game is following suit and taking its own next step in the upcoming Scarlet & Violet Series with adjustments to card aesthetic, pack contents, and more.

Changes in the Scarlet & Violet Series

Moving forward, the classic yellow borders framing Pokémon TCG cards will transition to the same silver border used in Japan. This change both frames Pokémon TCG artwork in its originally intended border and further unifies the game on a global level. The subcategory of Trainer cards (Supporter, Stadium, etc.) currently located on the top right of Trainer cards will be moved to the top left of the card—to be more visible in players’ hands.

Energy cards are also changing with the Scarlet & Violet series. The name of the Energy will now be featured on the top of the card alongside a new subtype tag for Energy. The Energy symbol currently featured on Energy cards will now appear on the bottom right of Energy cards. This change makes the amount and type of Energy attached to each Pokémon clearer for each player. Lastly, expansion symbols will now be replaced by expansion codes on the bottom left of each card.


Due to global inflation impacting the cost of materials and production, Pokémon Trading Card Game products will see varying MSRP increases in select markets with the launch of the Scarlet & Violet series. For example, the price of a booster pack will increase from $3.99 to $4.49 USD. In an effort to continue providing a positive Pokémon TCG experience and value, each pack of Pokémon cards will now feature three guaranteed foil cards per booster—all cards with a rarity of “Rare” or higher will now be foil. In addition, certain products will come with additional items. For example, the Elite Trainer Box will include an additional booster pack and full-art promo card.

An Update on Competitive Play

Competitive play will continue to be an important part of the Pokémon TCG during the Scarlet & Violet series—stay tuned for an upcoming update on Standard rotation!

Press Release - First Expansion of the Pokémon Trading Game: Scarlet & Violet Series Coming Soon Alongside Card Design Updates

Dec. 9, 2022 — Today, The Pokémon Company International announced the next expansion for the bestselling Pokémon Trading Card Game, Scarlet & Violet, inspired by the recently released Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games. The Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet expansion will be launching worldwide beginning on March 31, 2023.

As the first expansion in the Scarlet & Violet Series, initially unveiled during the 2022 Pokémon World Championships, Scarlet & Violet will see the return of the Pokémon ex gameplay mechanic, which will appear in each stage of Evolution and have high HP, as well as powerful attacks and Abilities. However, when a Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, it gives up two Prize cards instead of one.


The Pokémon Company International also introduced several card design improvements that will be implemented starting with the Scarlet & Violet expansion. Yellow borders on Pokémon TCG cards will become gray to match the cards released in Japan, providing a more seamless Pokémon TCG experience around the world while allowing the card artwork to shine even further. In addition, subcategories for Trainer cards — such as Supporter, Item and Stadium — will appear in the top left corner to be more visible in players’ hands, Basic Energy cards will display another Energy symbol on the bottom right corner to make it easier to track during gameplay, and expansion symbols will be replaced by expansion codes and language codes across all cards.

More Scarlet & Violet details, including key expansion features and product lineups, will be revealed in the future.

About Mercatus Co-operative Ltd

Mercatus Co-operative Limited was incorporated in May 2011 under the Co-operatives Societies Act and is one of the NTUC social enterprises under the NTUC Enterprise family. It is our vision to own and manage strategically located shopping malls in the heartlands of Singapore to provide NTUC social enterprises with retail space to serve the daily needs of working families. Through our investments, we aim to generate sustainable long term returns for the Labour Movement. We are proud to house many of the NTUC social enterprises in our properties so that union members, residents and visitors to the malls are able to enjoy affordable and quality products and services.
