Scorbunny

It was always only going to be a matter of time before a new splattering of official Pokémon Sword and Shield merch arrived on the scene and these new designs are amongst the coolest bits of Pokémon gear we've ever seen.

That's right, sport-style jerseys of the new games' starter Pokémon - Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble - are all set to become available on the official Pokémon Center website. The designs were spotted and shared online by Pokéshopper, but the links to each product have since been taken down. Looks like these were all found slightly ahead of the intended time.

While these jerseys are the pick of the bunch in our eyes - fitting perfectly with the sports theme running throughout the new games - it looks like there'll be plenty of other cool stuff to get your grubby mitts on, too like backpacks, pins, and more.

We'd expect these merch items to appear on the store (for real, this time) over the next few weeks. We'll make sure to update this article if and when they do go live.

The Pokémon Center sadly only ships to Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, so we're desperately hoping all of these lovely goodies will arrive in the pop-up Pokémon Center coming to London later this month. That Sobble jersey must be ours!

Liking the look of these? Which items are you hoping to pick up? Let us know in the comments below.
