This year marks the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, and despite being old enough to have two-day hangovers and chronic lower back pain, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down. Pokémon Pokopia has become the first major Nintendo Switch 2 hit of 2026, selling more than 2.2 million copies in just four days. And since Pokopia‘s a console exclusive, that means there’s been a surge in sales of the Switch 2 as well.
Few fandoms get as much cool merch as Pokémon, and if you’re looking to accessorize your Switch or Switch 2 console with a touch of cute and colorful style, there are loads of options to choose from. Here are some of our favorites.
A Pikachu-themed wireless controller
PowerA’s wireless controllers are officially licensed by Nintendo, which means you can expect a reliable product that’s fully compatible with your favorite Switch games. With the rarely-discounted Switch Pro Controller retailing for $79.99, this is a great alternative or second controller to add to your home setup. There are six variations of PowerA’s Pokémon controllers — including an orange and brown one with a distinctive late ’70s / early ’80s look — but we love the smiling Pikachu and pops of purple on this one.

An adorable Eevee carrying case
It’s no secret that the Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t cheap. If you’re looking to keep your $500 Nintendo console protected from bumps and scratches while you’re on the go, whether it’s for a daily commute or to Nana’s house, you’re going to need a well-constructed case. There are plenty of drab, utilitarian, black cases out there that will do the job. But why not pop for something with a bit of flair and whimsy? This case from Hori features soft, watercolor illustrations of Eevee in various adorable poses. It includes storage space for game cards and cables, too. While large enough to accommodate the larger dimensions of the Switch 2, it can also fit a Switch 1 or OLED.
