The popularity of Funko Pop figures has only grown as the company increases its collaborations with different franchises. Pokemon Funko Pops have added fuel to this fire in recent years, building on the already collectible nature that both the Pokemon and Funko brands advertise. Over the past few years, numerous Funko Pop figures have been released that focus on Pokemon, but fans of the series know that these only begin to scratch the surface of the over 900 Pokemon introduced in the franchise so far.
Different Pokemon Funko Pop figures have played to both companies’ strengths. On top of their collectible nature, the Pokemon Funko Pops have also capitalized on the special edition sets that Funko has introduced for multiple lines, as well as unique iterations of multiple characters. This has kept the overall roster more concentrated in its focus, but allows fans to collect different variations of the Pokemon they love.
Pokemon Funko Pops
The most common Pokemon Funko Pops that fans are going to find are the traditional variants from the main game series. These Funko Pops have focused on the original Pokemon from the Kanto region, with a solid chunk of the first-gen Pokemon getting a figure.

Super-Sized Pokemon Funko Pops
After the traditional Funko Pops that most fans are familiar with come the super-sized versions. These Funko Pops are scaled up to 10- or 18-inches in height, with one version of each for Pikachu. These massive Funko Pops take up more space, but in many collections they also make for solid accent pieces. While there aren’t as many as the regular Pokemon Funko Pops, plenty of monsters have still gotten a super-sized rendition.

Flocked Pokemon Funko Pops
Flocked Funko Pops are velvety versions of the originals, with many being exclusive to a retailer or event. While event-exclusive Pokemon is nothing new for the franchise, it still serves as a complementary tie-in with Funko Pop. This has included convention events like San Diego Comic-Con, with other major venues and events such as Emerald City Comic Con and WonderCon having special Pokemon Funko Pops.

Silver Metallic Pokemon Funko Pops
The Silver Metallic Funko Pops are almost like trophies. Their solid metallic features take away from the lively cartoon nature of Pokemon, but it also gives them a cleaner look. While they aren’t as numerous, there is a 10-inch Silver Metallic Pikachu Funko Pop released for Pokemon’s 25th Anniversary in 2021, which stands out even compared to the many others.

Diamond Collection Pokemon Funko Pops
The Diamond Collection of Pokemon Funko Pops is similar to Flocked, but replaces the velvety texture with a glittery one. The figures themselves are reminiscent of gem-encrusted jewelry pieces, but at a highly reduced price point. Like the Flocked Funko Pops, Diamond Collection figures have served as ways to commemorate events like WonderCon.
- Bulbasaur 453
- Charmander 455
- Squirtle 504
- Eevee 626
- Vaporeon 627
- Jolteon 628

There are also more Pokemon Funko Pop figures in the works, with fan-favorites like Lucario and Sylveon slated to release later this year. Considering the ever-growing nature of the series' Pokedex, including new Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, fans can probably look forward to new additions in this collaboration for years to come.
