For example, it’s hard to go wrong with a cool figure collection like the 8-piece battle figure set from Pokemon. It includes figures with movable limbs for play or decoration. Another great choice is the Ultra Pro Pokemon trainer guessing game. It’s a Pokeball that plays a guessing game with you, featuring Pokemon from various regions and eras.

eKids Pokemon Walkie Talkies
Roger that, Professor
There’s something so fun about walkie-talkies, especially for kids. This pair adorned with Pikachu is perfect for young ones that love Pokemon and playing pretend. They’re fully functional to at least 500 feet and perfectly serviceable for playing in a house, backyard, or park. Not only are they good for fun, but they can also be practical. If you want to keep an ear on your kids, or just have a way for them to call you quickly, this is a great affordable option.
Pros:
- Long battery life
- Solidly constructed for outdoor use
- Two pairs can work at once in the same area

Pokemon Select Evolution 3 Pack
Turn up the heat
Back when Pokemon cards first came out, we all wanted that glorious holographic Charizard, or perhaps it was a Blastoise or Venusaur. If the original Pokemon are also favorites, we highly recommend this awesome battle pack figure set. With the original starter Pokemon and a few other fan favorites, you can show off your favorite ones, along with their evolutions. The limbs on are movable (excluding the smaller basic Pokemon, who are too small for articulated limbs). Charizard himself can even shoot a plastic fire blast from his mouth, for example.
Pros:
- The Blastoise figure also shoots a projectile
- Includes Pikachu and Cubone, two popular favorites
- Charizard’s wings, legs, tails, and arms are all moveable
Cons:
- Might be a bit pricey for some
Pokemon Official Ultimate Battle Figure 10-Pack
The original stars
It’s time to recreate your favorite battles with this superstar set of Pokemon figures. Featuring all of the most popular original Pokemon, including Pikachu, Charizard, Clefairy, and more, there’s a lot to love about this set. You can play with them or just set them up for decoration. They’re sturdy enough for kids to play with as well. All in all, we think any Pokemon fan would likely love this figure set.
Pros:
- Durable construction
- Multiple sets to choose from
- Charizard shoots out a small plastic fire blast, making it more interactive
- These look excellent on a shelf, particularly since Haunter and Magikarp are on raised stands
Cons:
- Many of the smaller, basic Pokemon don’t have moveable parts
Ultra Pro Pokemon Trainer Guess Brain Game
Test your knowledge
Do you take pride in your Pokemon knowledge? Then this is the perfect game for you. In the game, you’ll attempt to “collect” 148 Pokemon by answering yes or no questions (kind of like the game Guess Who). First, you think of a Pokemon you want to “catch”, then respond accordingly to the Pokeball’s questions until it correctly guesses which one you’re thinking of. If you know your stuff, you can do this without a reference. But in case you need some help, this comes with a handy guide for all of the Pokemon and their attributes.
Pros:
- Easy to set up and use for young kids to enjoy
- Uses a similar voice to the original Pokedex from the anime
- Includes a mix of Pokemon from various games and regions, including Kanto and Galar
Cons:
- There is no volume control
