After its announcement<\/a> back in September 2025, The Pok\u00e9mon Company has today lifted the lid on the theme for its upcoming Natural History Museum pop-up store, and it’s all about Pok\u00e9cology.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry, we had to Google it too. For those wondering, ‘Pok\u00e9cology’ is the study of Pok\u00e9mon based on their assigned habitats. It all stems from Yoshinari Yonehara’s Pok\u00e9cology: An Illustrated Guide to Pok\u00e9mon Ecology<\/strong>, the best-selling Japanese Pok\u00e9mon book, which, conveniently, will be getting an English translation<\/a> later this year.<\/p>\n

What this means for the merch is a whole lot of dino vibes. The Pok\u00e9mon Company has already revealed a handful of pieces you can expect to find if you’re lucky enough to hold a ticket to the pop-up store (now sold out), including a dinosaur Pok\u00e9mon print, special pins, a research notes Pikachu tote, and a plushie of that same Electric Type hugging the museum itself.<\/p>\n
