Pokemon Unveils Life-Size Porygon Plush with a Surprise Catch

A new Porygon plush is taking the Pokemon community by storm as it joins the ranks of giant-size recreations of everyone’s favorite Pocket Monsters.

After appearing in some listings online, many fans are discovering that Porygon is slightly larger than they had imagined. Unfortunately, this life-size Porygon plush is currently exclusive to the Pokemon Center Japan or third-party import companies.

Standing over 120cm tall and weighing just over 5 kilograms, the plush is so massive that websites like Meccha Japan do not permit customers to order anything else alongside it if they wish to import it from Japan.

The giant plush was revealed by various outlets such as PokeShopper on X and was also shared by Serebii founder Joe Merrick, generating a buzz almost as large as the plush itself.

Many people are surprised at the ‘life-size’ plush dimensions, with comments like, “Is Porygon really supposed to be that big?” and “Wait, Porygon is really big!? I always imagined it like Eevee size.”

“Uh, Porygon is canonically that big?? I thought he was small all this time,” added another fan.

Another Pokemon enthusiast expressed a different concern, stating, “As much as I would love this, it’s far too big. I have no room for it.”

For now, the Porygon plush is exclusive to the Japanese versions of the Pokemon Center online stores, but there is hope that these giant merchandise items will eventually reach the West. Currently, the US and UK stores offer large plush based on Pokemon like Arcanine, Slowpoke, and more.

Fans are eager for this plush to make its way to Western markets. One fan wondered, “I wonder how long until it’s available on the Australian site?” while another stated, “Giant Porygon plush will be mine when it makes it to the US.”
