While the Pokemon World Championships are a place for hundreds of players to compete across the globe for over $500,000 in prizes, it’s also known for offering an exclusive line of rare Pokemon merchandise that can only be purchased at this event. The merchandise is always themed after the city hosting the competition, so given this year it’s in Washington, D.C. the theme is all about museums. That’s why Pikachu, Piplup and the gang are decked out in explorer’s gear — so they can find rare artifacts and Fossil Pokemon bones and bring them back to be put on display.
Check out all of the DC-themed merch below along with the rest of the Pokemon Center wares by flipping through the slideshow gallery below.
