Pokémon Center Halloween Plush 2026: Zorua, Zoroark, and the Full Spooky Lineup
By Dexhaul Team · September 9, 2026
The Pokémon Center has unveiled its 2026 Halloween plush collection, and it is one of the most character-diverse seasonal lineups the Center has produced.
Announced on September 4, 2026, the collection is built around a spooky tea party setting. No exact release date or prices have been announced yet: the Pokémon Center describes the range as "coming very soon" and recommends email sign-up for first notification.
Here is everything confirmed in the announcement.
The Full 2026 Halloween Plush Lineup
Six distinct Pokémon are confirmed in the core Halloween collection.
Zorua and Zoroark
The two Unova Dark types serve as the collection's leads. Zorua (#0570) is the Tricky Fox Pokémon, introduced in Generation V with the Illusion ability: it disguises itself as another Pokémon in the party.
Zoroark (#0571) shares that same Illusion ability and carries Night Daze as its signature move, a Dark-type attack introduced alongside it. Both are styled in the Halloween tea party theme, leaning into their trickster lore.
Crobat
Crobat is the lineup's most unexpected entry. It is Poison/Flying type, with no Ghost or Dark typing at all. Its Halloween inclusion comes entirely from the bat silhouette rather than any type affinity, which makes it a design-first choice rather than a lore-first one.
Drifloon and Pumpkaboo
Both are seasonally appropriate by type. Drifloon is Ghost/Flying, known in the Pokédex for luring children away. Pumpkaboo is Ghost/Grass, introduced in Generation VI with four size variants (Small, Average, Large, Super Size) that affect its base stats.
The Halloween plush presumably uses the standard Average size form, though the announcement does not specify.
Pikachu (two variants)
Two Pikachu versions appear: one with a pumpkin theme and one with a pancake-topped design. The pumpkin variant is a seasonal standard. The pancake Pikachu crosses over from Pokémon Center's ongoing food-themed Pikachu line into the Halloween setting, styled with small Halloween charm accessories attached to a colorful bow.
The Night Daze Dark Noise Merch Line
Alongside the Halloween plush, the announcement references the "Night Daze Dark Noise" merchandise line. This is a separate band-themed Zorua and Zoroark product range treated as though the two Pokémon are performing musicians.
Night Daze is Zoroark's signature move: a Dark-type special attack introduced in Generation V. The "Dark Noise" name extends that into a band identity. The announcement describes this as "incredibly cool band-themed" merchandise, distinct from the seasonal Halloween plush but launching in the same window.
No specific products, prices, or items in the Night Daze Dark Noise line are confirmed beyond the announcement. Expect details to follow closer to the release date.
One Type Irony Worth Noting
Here is something the announcement does not address: both Zorua and Zoroark have Hisuian regional forms that are Normal/Ghost type, introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Those Ghost-type forms would be the more seasonally on-theme choice for a Halloween collection.
The 2026 Halloween lineup uses the standard Unova forms, which are Dark type. It is a deliberate creative direction: the trickster/illusionist personality of the standard forms fits the tea party mischief concept, while the Hisuian forms carry a darker, tragedy-driven lore. Pokémon Center went with the prankster, not the phantom.
