Pokémon Metal Keyrings and Charms (2026): Every Licensed Set
By Dexhaul Team · October 12, 2026 · 6 min read
There are three distinct officially licensed Pokémon metal keyring and charm lines available right now: the National Pokédex Metal Charm series from Pokémon Center Japan, the Funism Keychain line, and the Suncrest Keyring Hanger series. Single charms start at $3 USD; a full evolution-family set runs up to $12.
This guide covers what each line includes, how the pricing works, and which to buy based on how you plan to use them.

National Pokédex Metal Charms: the indexed collector's set
This is the only officially licensed accessory line that assigns a dedicated Pokédex number to every charm. The National Pokédex now runs to over 1,025 entries, and Pokémon Center Japan has issued a corresponding metal charm for each one. That makes it the only accessory line with guaranteed coverage of every Pokémon.
Single-Pokémon charms (common, single-stage species) typically retail at $3 USD through importers. Evolution families are grouped into one set: a two-stage family like Wattrel and Kilowattrel costs $6; a three-stage family like Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu costs around $8.
The premium entries, for flagship legendaries or unusually detailed sculpts, can reach $12–$19. Pricing reflects how many charms are in the set, not the Pokémon's popularity.
Each charm is a small flat alloy disc with detailed enamel or painted color fill. The edge carries the character's Pokédex number, which is what makes the series work as a collection system rather than just a loose pile of keychains. Two UK and US-based importers currently stock the widest range: Ichiba Japan and Japan2UK.
The Ho-Oh single charm (#250) sits at $3 USD right now, making it one of the most affordable officially licensed Johto accessories available. At the other end, the Kyurem charm (#646) is priced at $12 USD due to its larger, more detailed sculpt. Check our keychain type guide if you want to understand how metal charms compare to PVC and plush clip-on styles before buying.
Funism Keychains: PVC figure with Pokéball charm
The Funism line is a different type entirely. Each piece is a 3D painted PVC figure of the Pokémon, paired with a separate mini Pokéball charm and a fabric wrist strap. The set comes as three components in one pack: the figure, the Pokéball, and the strap all connect to the same ring.
Available characters currently in stock include Snorlax, Mimikyu, Jigglypuff, Cubone, Morpeko, Meowth, and a multi-character assortment pack. Prices run from $6 to $15 USD depending on character and seller. Many Realms and Papa Joey's Collectibles stock the widest range at the moment.
The Funism range is best for buyers who want a visually fuller piece: the figure has more dimension and color than a flat metal charm. It does not index to a Pokédex number and does not form a numbered collection series. Buy one for display or bag decoration; buy the metal charm line when the point is to collect across characters.
Suncrest Keyring Hanger Phone Charms
The Suncrest line is purpose-built for phone attachment. Each piece is an acrylic character figure on a metal split ring with a short strap designed to loop through a phone case or bag zip-pull.
Characters currently in stock: Pikachu, Eevee, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle. All retail at $15 USD through Pop Stop (New Zealand) and similar licensed specialist shops.
Coverage in this line is limited to five characters as of October 2026. That makes it less useful as a collection series and more useful for one specific use case: a well-made, officially licensed Pokémon phone charm in a standard format most phone cases support.
Choosing by use case
Completionist collector
The National Pokédex Metal Charm series is the only option here. No other line attempts full-Pokédex coverage. Start with the evolution family that matters most to you and build outward.
Single-stage legends and niche species are available from as little as $3 USD, making it practical to fill gaps in an existing collection without committing to expensive multi-piece sets.
Gift or everyday carry
The Funism line is the stronger gift pick. The combined figure-plus-Pokéball-plus-strap presentation photographs well and feels more substantial than a flat metal disc.
It is immediately recognizable as a Pokémon character rather than requiring someone to know the Pokédex number. See also our capsule set guide for other licensed blind-bag options in a similar price range.
Phone or bag attachment
The Suncrest Keyring Hanger is designed for this. The strap length and ring size are sized for phone cases, not just standard keyrings. Metal charms work too, but their small flat shape can slip through loops that the Suncrest ring cannot.
Q4 gift ideas from these lines
All three lines sit in gift-friendly price bands: $3–$15 for individual pieces, with evolution-family charm sets landing at $6–$12 for two to three characters in one pack. A curated set of four to six National Pokédex charms covering a recipient's favourite evolution line costs $15–$25 and fits easily in an envelope or small gift box.
The Funism character sets are available individually, making it straightforward to pick a single character for someone. Snorlax, Mimikyu, and Jigglypuff are the most consistently stocked options. For more Pokémon gift ideas across every category and budget, see our 2026 holiday gift guide.
Frequently asked questions
What are Pokémon National Pokédex Metal Charms made of?

Are Funism Keychains officially licensed?
Yes. The Funism line is an officially licensed Pokémon product. Each piece is a 3D painted PVC figure paired with a mini Pokéball charm and a fabric wrist strap, sold through licensed retailers.
Do the National Pokédex Metal Charms cover every Pokémon?
The series covers all Pokémon in the National Pokédex, including Generation 9 entries. Individual charms are sold as single characters or grouped evolution families, with each charm marked by its Pokédex number. Not every charm is in stock at every importer at any given time.
What is the cheapest officially licensed Pokémon metal keyring?
Single-stage species in the National Pokédex Metal Charm series are the most affordable, with some listed at $3 USD through importers like Ichiba Japan. Prices are observed storefront prices and vary by character and seller.
How do I check if a Pokémon charm is officially licensed?
Look for the Pokémon Center Japan branding on the packaging and the copyright line on the charm itself, which should include "The Pokémon Company." Unofficial charms typically lack the Pokédex number detail and have no copyright marking. See also our guide to spotting unofficial Pokémon products for a fuller checklist.
