Fans in the United States have been enjoying the eclectic merchandise offerings of the reopened Pokémon Center website since 2014. In the years since its relaunch, the online retailer has grown quite robust in its selection, but our friends in Canada have, sadly, not been able to join in the fun. That’s all changing now, thankfully, as The Pokémon Company International has announced that they’re officially open for business in the Great White North!
What’s this? The #PokemonCenter is evolving! 🇨🇦
The Pokémon Center is now available in Canada!

Here’s the announcement straight from The Pokémon Company:
Today, The Pokémon Company International announced that Pokémon Center, its official e-commerce arm and the premier destination for official Pokémon merchandise, has expanded to Canada, allowing Trainers in the country to shop the vast selection at PokemonCenter.ca.
Previously limited to US availability, PokemonCenter.com offers a wide variety of high-quality Pokémon merchandise, including the Pokémon Trading Card Game and items unique to the site, such as figures, imported plush, apparel and accessories, home decor, kitchenware, outdoor gear, and more. The e-commerce site also features special collaborations with notable brands like Funko and Kotobukiya, as well as seasonal collections.
“We are thrilled to bring Pokémon Center to our fans in Canada, giving them additional ways to express and celebrate their Pokémon fandom through premium merchandise,” said Cindy Ruppenthal, director of e-commerce at The Pokémon Company International. “Pokémon Center has something for every type of Trainer—whether it’s to play, collect, decorate, or wear—and we look forward to seeing even more Trainers enjoy these offerings.”
In celebration, Pokémon Center customers in the US and Canada will receive a Pokémon TCG promo card, featuring Special Delivery Pikachu, at no additional cost with any eligible purchase, while supplies last.
That’s not all… This Special Delivery Pikachu could be on its way to you! 💌

All of this is surely great news for our Canadian brethren, particularly as the world continues to stave off the COVID-19 pandemic. Being able to shop online during the upcoming holiday season will be a boon for many. Don’t sleep on that Pikachu card from the Pokémon TCG, by the way. Note that the promotion is for customers in both Canada and the US.
