Pokemon’s 30th anniversary celebrations are well underway. Games like Pokemon Go are hosting unique events tied to the milestone, and the Pokemon Trading Card Game is releasing a monster blowout expansion, with dozens of sought-after cards. And of course, it’s already being scalped for 7x RRP.
The celebration will also see tons of new merchandise released, including a $700, 40,000-piece puzzle and a suitcase that allows you to display your Pokemon plushies like they’re in some kind of rollable prison.
The latest reveal may be far cooler than either of those, as Pokemon has shown off a trio of denim jackets, emblazoned with the final evolutions of Red and Blue’s starter trio, Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. Unfortunately, though, there’s a very high likelihood that you’ll never own, or even see, one of these jackets in the wild.
New Boss Coffee x Pokemon Jackets Are Set To Arrive In Japan, And We’ll Never See Them
Over the last year, Pokemon and Japanese coffee brand Boss Coffee have collaborated on a range of jackets. In May 2025, it released a faux fur Team Rocket jacket featuring Giovanni as the face of Boss Coffee, and earlier this year, it released a trio of jackets representing Pokemon Red and Blue’s starters. Now, we’ve just got a look at the latest collaboration.
Each denim jacket comes with the Boss Coffee logo printed on the front and back, featuring Venusaur, Charizard, or Blastoise on the back, along with Pokemon’s 30th anniversary logo.
The Venusaur jacket is dark denim with green stitching, the Charizard jacket is dark, washed-blue denim with orange stitching, and the Blastoise jacket is light blue denim with a dark blue collar and stitching. They look cool, and you can check them out below, but you’ll almost certainly never get your hands on one.
Only five of each jacket will be made and distributed, and to be in with a chance of winning one, you’ll need to purchase an eligible six-pack of Boss Coffee, which is only available in Japan. Of course, they may appear on the secondary market, but with so few in circulation, they’re likely to fetch a high price. Especially the Charizard one, given that it’s well… Charizard.
