Anker is recognized for its accessories that typically prioritize practicality over aesthetics. However, its newest collection has introduced a playful element. The company has unveiled a set of Pokémon-themed tech accessories in Japan to mark the 30th anniversary of the franchise, featuring five products adorned with designs of Pikachu and Eevee.
The launch of this collection is set for early July 2026, while Anker Japan's official store currently lists these items as Coming Soon. This announcement follows the unveiling of their latest AI-powered TWS earbuds, the Liberty 5 Pro Max.

The standout item in this collection is the Anker USB Fast Charger 70W Pikachu Edition, priced at 7,990 yen, approximately $50. It boasts a yellow casing with Pikachu accents, two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, a foldable plug, and supports up to 70W output when a single port is in use. Anker also provides a Pokémon-themed cable and cable band, elevating it beyond a mere paint job.
Additionally, there is an Anker Travel Adapter featuring the Pikachu design, costing around $40. This adapter is compatible in over 200 countries and regions and includes one AC outlet, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports.

The Pokémon collection features the Soundcore C50i Wireless Earphones available in Pikachu and Eevee versions. These open-ear earbuds sit on the ear without obstructing external sounds. Each earbud weighs about 5.5g, and Anker claims they provide up to 7 hours of playback on their own, or up to 28 hours with the charging case. Each version is priced at 13,990 yen, around $87.
A handy pouch to carry them all

Completing the set is the limited edition Pikachu Anker Travel Pouch, available for around $25. It's designed to store chargers, cables, and other small gadget accessories, featuring a back pocket for additional storage. This way, you can transport all of these Pokémon-themed gadgets in one convenient bag. There has been no announcement regarding a global launch yet, so it seems this collection will initially be exclusive to Anker Japan. It's nostalgic yet functional enough for Pokémon fans to indulge in some impulse buying.
