For Australian fans of Pokémon, getting official merchandise from Japan can feel like a distant dream. While there’s no Pokémon Center store in Australia yet, the good news is that you can still access exclusive items from the Pokémon Center Japan—with the right shopping tools. From plush toys and trading cards to capsule figures and limited-edition apparel, Pokémon Center Japan is the ultimate destination for authentic Pokémon merchandise. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to buy, how to order online from Australia, and how proxy shopping services can help you unlock these treasures.
What Is Pokémon Center Japan?
The Pokémon Center Japan is the official retail chain operated by The Pokémon Company. It includes both physical stores across major cities in Japan and an extensive official online store, packed with exclusive items you won’t find anywhere else in the world. Unfortunately, the Japanese Pokémon Center does not ship internationally. But that doesn’t mean Australian buyers are out of options. With a trusted proxy shopping service like Buy&Ship, you can browse, buy, and ship all your favourite Pokémon gear straight to your door.

Online Shopping at Pokémon Center Japan: What You Should Know
