There will be three exclusive merchandise items, including a special observatory-themed Pikachu plush, with two items still to be announced. The plush is expected to cost 2,750 yen, or about $18.50 at the time of writing, which we think is really reasonable for such an exclusive item.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The event is currently only announced for Japanese attendees, or those who happen to be in Japan at some point from November 2025 through the end of 2026. Some dates and venues are still to be announced, but the official event page already gives a lot of information. Sanagawa Prefecture\u2019s Sagamihara City Museum will host the event from November 1, 2025, to January 12, 2026, before the exhibition moves on to the T\u014dhoku region.<\/p>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\tContinue reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/pokemon\/astronomical-observatory\">Pok\u00e9mon&#8217;s date with the stars better go global, or I&#8217;ll ride at dawn<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tMORE FROM POCKET TACTICS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/pokedex-all-pokemon\">Pok\u00e9dex &#8211; all Pok\u00e9mon listed<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/pokemon-go\/codes\">Pok\u00e9mon Go codes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/pokemon-go\/eevee-evolution\">Pok\u00e9mon Go Eevee evolutions<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, Japan: it giveth and it taketh away.
