Pokémon merchandise is some of the most adorable and eclectic video game-based swag you can buy, with Pikachu and the gang turning up in imaginative forms across a huge range of products. We might just have one of the very best examples, though: Ensky, known for selling lots of unique official Pokémon merchandise — such as these paper theatre displays or a Yamper wrist support — is releasing a Psyduck Teapot.
The teapot is based on the Sprayduck from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and is ideal for tea for two people. Poké_Times has a little demonstration of how not to use the teapot (No, seriously, we don't recommend watering your plants with tea. That's a waste of perfectly good tea).
This duck Pokémon teapot is 150 x 110 x 180 millimetres, and comes with a little strainer so you can put your loose leaf tea inside. It's the perfect addition to any Pokémon fan's cupboard, and we can't imagine serving tea any other way while you're sitting and playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, or Pokémon Legends: Arceus, or just sitting back and chilling with a cup of tea, Earl Grey, hot.
It's not cheap, however, as the teapot will set you back just under $115, or around £87. And that's without shipping. That still hasn't stopped tea loving trainers everywhere, as it looks like reservations are no longer being accepted. Still, we can marvel in the glory of it from a distance, right?
We hope demand will be high enough for a second run, or even an international release. Or perhaps we could have an entire line of Pokémon teapots! How about Phanpy next, Pokémon Company?
Let us know what weird and wonderful Pokémon merchandise you want to see in the comments!

I'd like to imagine every household in the Pokemon universe has a SprayDuck (TM) teapot in their cupboard.
This is even cooler, Pokeball Cupcake Pan.
Well...I need to start saving up
What the duck is this? 😆
Can we later have one of the Gen 9's water starter?
SprayDuck.is clearly superior to Sprinklotad, and especially Wailmer pail.
Cradily or no sale.
Isn't this just to help promote healthy growth of Berries planted in soft soil?
Now I want someone to create a usable Wailmer Pail.
@AlanaHagues It’s ‘Phanpy’, rather than ‘Phanphy’. I also used to pronounce it like that as a kid though, curiously.
@Markiemania95 Thanks for spotting! Me too, and obviously even when I checked I imagined the extra h. I've fixed the typo.
Yes. I want drooling Psyduck.
Cool, but to expensive. And I guess it doesn't have enough "room" for my tea habit. I mean I have quite a big pot that can hold lots of tea at once, since I love drinking tea.
... should I be surprised that @KateGray is not the author of this piece?
Actually, I give my plants leftover tea all the time when I don't have time to finish drinking it. It's good for them.
I love tea, tea+Pokémon=buy.
Reservations for this thing sold out within minutes of it being announced. I live in Japan and my wife (who is Japanese) is a HUGE Koduck (Psyduck) fan and is part of a thriving online Koduck fan community. Nobody got one. It doesn't help that they are all hand-made, so you can kind of look at it as a mass-produced custom piece. Still, it's frusterating that it still continues to be advertised over here with no way to reserve one.
The company that makes these just tweeted:
「コダックじょうろ風きゅうす」にたくさんの反響をいただき、ありがとうございます。
今後、再販や、店頭でお買い求めいただける機会も予定しております。
職人さんが頑張って作っておりますので、お届けの目処がたちましたら、改めてお知らせいたします。
楽しみにお待ちいただければ幸いです。 https://t.co/kddT4qgWXC
Thank you for your feedback on "Kodak Watering Can Kyusu".
In the future, we plan to resell it and have the opportunity to purchase it at the store.
The craftsmen are working hard to make it, so we will let you know when it is ready for delivery.
We hope you will look forward to it.
Damn I NEED IT
