Pokémon is one of those rare things that a six-year-old and a thirty-six-year-old can be equally obsessed with, which makes it a brilliant gift theme. The catch is that Amazon is full of unofficial “Pokemon” bundles and cards resold well above their list price. So everything here is officially licensed and, apart from one watch, sold by Amazon itself. I’ve grouped them by what the fan likes doing: build, cuddle and play, or read, with the age from each listing. (Here’s how we choose products.)
- Best overall: LEGO Pokémon Trainer’s Buggy Adventure (#1)
- Best for teen and adult fans: MEGA Pokémon Kanto Region Pokédex (#3)
- Best big present for little ones: Battle Action Pikachu (#6)
- Best stocking filler: Ravensburger 3D Puzzle Ball (#9)

1. LEGO Pokémon SMART Play: Trainer's Buggy Adventure with Squirtle 72156
by LEGO
Price & availability on Amazon.co.uk
Who it’s for: Squirtle fans and 7+ builders who want a proper LEGO Pokémon build.

by LEGO

Verdict: The smallest way into LEGO Pokémon: Bulbasaur and Bidoof figures with two SMART Tags. Know before you buy that the lights and sounds need a LEGO SMART Brick, which isn’t in the box. It’s still a fun build without one.

Verdict: A 12-inch interactive Pikachu with more than 100 reactions, a light-up tail and an electric-effect launcher accessory. It’s the main-present pick for little ones. The bullets don’t mention batteries, so check the listing before Christmas morning.

FAQ
What's the best Pokémon gift for a 7-year-old?
One of the LEGO Pokémon sets (#1, #2), the 3D puzzle ball (#9) or the LED watch (#10). For a bigger present, Battle Action Pikachu (#6).
Why aren't there any Pokémon cards on this list?
The official 30th Celebration card sets were only ‘available by invitation’ on Amazon UK when we checked, so you couldn’t simply buy them. We’d rather not send you to unofficial bundles or resellers charging well above the list price.
Do LEGO Pokémon sets need a SMART Brick?
For the lights and sounds, yes, and it isn’t included with #1 or #2, according to the listings. The sets can still be built and played with without one.
What are good Pokémon gifts for adults?
The MEGA Kanto Pokédex (#3), the Eevee plush (#5) or Pokécology (#8).
