London Pokémon Center 2025 reservations process explained

Before all tickets to the Pokémon Center sold out, you had to reserve a slot on the official Pokémon Center website – one reservation per person aged 16 and over. Reservations are now unavailable as the event has sold out.

Unfortunately, you can no longer make a reservation. We know you must be disappointed by the news. The Pokémon Company released a statement on X (formerly known as Twitter) to confirm that reservation slots are fully booked:

For those lucky enough to get a ticket, you must know the following information, as per the official Pokémon Center website:

• No admittance will be allowed without a valid reservation
• For any changes to an existing reservation, please use the link provided in your confirmation email or confirmation text
• A working mobile device will be needed to show your reservation QR code on the day of event
• There is no transfer of reservations to other people. Doing this will invalidate the reservation

What to expect from the London Pokémon Center 2025

The London Pokémon Center 2025 is home to the 2025 Pokémon Europe International Championships, exclusive merch, a selection of other official Pokémon merch and a scavenger hunt for the kids on Sunday 23rd February.

Once again, reservations to the pop-up event are no longer available as it is now fully sold out.

For anyone lucky enough to be going, it’s worth remembering that "Pokémon Center will not accept cash. You may pay with cash card (debit card) or most credit cards".

So don’t go drawing any cash out to buy some cool Pokémon merch at the London Pokémon Center because they will not accept it.
