Best Pokemon Pins To Buy

Nov 02, 2023

Gotta collect 'em all!

Pin badges are a great kind of item to collect — they come in various shapes, styles, and sizes, typically have gorgeous designs, and they're easy to display. More often than not, they're more affordable than other types of collectibles, too. If you're a Pokemon fan, you've most likely seen various pin badges featuring Pokemon designs.

But where do you start when it comes to collecting them, and which are the best ones? Whether you're already an avid collector, starting a brand-new collection, or just want to treat yourself or a friend to an adorable pin, you can find a brilliant selection of the best Pokemon pin badges right here.

There's no better combination than eight fan-favorite Pokemon and adorable block-style art. This pin set features mini pins of the Kanto Pokemon Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Vulpix, Magikarp, Ditto, and Eevee.

If you're a big fan of the original 151 Pokemon and have strong nostalgia for the Kanto region, you'll love this pin set. It comes with eight pins, each one modeled after classic Pokemon from the first generation. To give them that retro feel, the Pokemon have been designed in a blocky art style, reminiscent of pixel graphics from the '90s.

The pins are miniature and smaller than the average pin, but, considering you get eight of them, it's not a bad trade-off. Alongside Pikachu and the iconic starter Pokemon, you'll also receive Vulpix, Magikarp, Ditto, and Eevee to round off the set.

Name a more iconic duo than Snorlax and Leftovers. You can't! This adorable pin features the Generation 1 Pokemon with the item it's always paired with, the Leftovers.

Whether you're into competitive Pokemon battling or not, everyone knows that the best Held Item for Snorlax is the Leftovers — and the Pokemon Center seems to be aware of that too. This pin features Snorlax in its signature lying down position, and, attached to it via a metal chain, is a pin of the Leftovers item.

This pin is perfect for fans of the snoozing Pokemon Snorlax, and it would make a great gift for anyone who favors using the Pokemon with this Held Item in battle.

What could be better than a cute Eevee pin? A cute Eevee pin that's even fluffier and bigger than normal. This Eevee pin is oversized to show off its Gigantamax form.

Pokemon Sword & Shield introduced the Dynamax and Gigantamax phenemons, which see Pokemon increasing to incredible sizes. Pokemon who can Gigantamax also receive some design changes when in this form, which is the case for beloved Pokemon Eevee.

When Gigantamaxed, Eevee is not only huge, but also much fluffier, which is what's showcased in this pin. To match the Gigantamax phenomenon's humongous size, this pin is also larger than normal pins.

This Eiscue pin is more than just a regular pin - it's layered, which means the Eiscue is movable and can be spun. How n-ice is that? It also has a charming background, featuring an appearance from an adorable Spheal.

The Pokemon Center has some pretty unique pins on its site, and that includes this Eiscue pin. Unlike regular pins, this pin is layered, so that Eiscue is separate from the background. This means that Eiscue can be moved independently of the pin's back, allowing you to spin it (or simply arrange it how you prefer).

The background itself is also beautifully detailed, displaying the Pokemon's icy native environment. To top it all off, a Spheal also makes an appearance on the bottom of the background — it's a Spheal treat!

Here comes sweet Lechonk, hailing from the Paldea region in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Lechonk comes in three different poses and expressions in this pin set, showing off its endearing personality.

Lechonk caused quite a stir when it was revealed as a new Pokemon for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Fans were immediately enamored with the pig Pokemon, and it's clear to see why. This pin set includes three Lechonk pins, showing off the adorable personality that immediately made it so beloved.

The first pin shows Lechonk with its ears raised and its eyes widened in shock; the second pin has Lechonk lying on its side, taking a much-needed nap; and the final one depicts the Pokemon happily running, perhaps towards its Trainer or simply a tasty snack.

Pikachu and Yamper are an electrifyingly cute pair! In this pin set, you receive one individual pin of each Pokemon, and one of the two together. They're finished with a purple and blue metallic shine.

Pikachu and Yamper became such an adorable duo in the Pokemon anime, it's no surprise that there are now pins of the pair together. This pin set comprises three pins — there's a pin each of Pikachu and Yamper separately, as well as one of them together. The pins are gorgeously colored with a blue and purple metallic finish.

Unlike many other Pokemon pins, this set comes in a display box, which features beautiful, rainbow-colored artwork of Pikachu and Yamper. These pins would make a fantastic gift for a Pokemon fan, or a gift to yourself too.
