Cons

Since you cannot gift a real-live Pokémon as a gift, this cuddly life-sized Pikachu is the next best present for a Pokémon enthusiast.

Pros

Extra-large 24” Pikachu plush. Ultra-soft and squishy. Best for kids aged 2 and up. Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Eevee, and Charmander are also available.

Cons

These plush pals are a little pricy, but worth it!

Nanoblock

Nanoblock Pokémon: Venusaur

Best for Experts

Bottom Line

Due to the miniscule size of its pieces, and detail of each Pokémon, constructing a Nanoblock set will take time, even for veteran LEGO builders.

Pros

160 piece building set. Will take a while to fully assemble. Small, yet detailed pixelated Pokémon model. Many other Pokémon available, including Pichu, Snorlax, and Totodile.

Cons

Some may not appreciate the extra-tiny pieces.
