Pokéball battery bank
One of the newest additions to the Pokémon franchise is the massively successful mobile game Pokémon GO. You may have noticed that people who play it complain about the game draining the battery on their phones very quickly. One of the solutions people have come up with is to carry around battery bank that can charge their phone from their pockets.
There is almost no better gift to a Pokémon GO player than a solid battery bank and this Pokéball battery bank can keep them playing for hours. It has a capacity of 10,000 mAh, which means it can charge an iPhone 7 Plus three full times. Plus, looking like a Pokéball (an item from the series) is something any true fan will appreciate.

A personal favorite of mine, this Ash Ketchum replica hat will give any diehard fan of the original Pokémon TV series something to smile about this holiday season.

Pokémon Nanoblocks
Pokémon Nanoblocks are cool little figurines that would look great on a Pokémon fan's desk. They are made from these little Lego-like bricks, which means you get the added fun of building your own little Pokémon. Nanoblocks offers a bunch of different Pokémon so you shouldn't have trouble finding the perfect one. Fair warning, the building instructions can be a little vague, so if you're buying for a child you may want to give the parents a heads up that they will need to help.
