Still, there are loads of items to check out, and there’s always the prospect that we might see them in an official capacity at some point.
Otherwise, you will probably have to pay through the nose on eBay and run the risk of your precious Le Creuset set getting dinged up or broken in the post.
Alas, let us crack on and longingly look on at what could’ve been. I’m sure our bank accounts have let out a collective sigh of relief, anyway! Read on!

When is the Pokémon Le Creuset release date?
The Pokémon Le Creuset collection release dates are 17th July and 30th July 2024, depending on the region.
A nice way to celebrate the conclusion of the Pokémon Go Global Fest 2024, which ended on 14th July.
As it’s already out, you will probably want to act fast, as we can imagine these will fly off the shelves like hotcakes, in spite of the high price.
A second phase is slated for release in November, too.
Though, if you are hoping to pick them up here in the UK, you may be in for a bit of a disappointment, unless you can time it with a holiday. Just be sure to pay for extra luggage – you’ll need it!

Where will Pokémon Le Creuset be available?
The Pokémon Le Creuset collection will be available in "select countries and regions in Japan and Asia, as well as Oceania and South Africa", according to the South African Le Creuset website.
This is a bit of a bummer for us here in UK, but at least we can find solace in the fact that it won’t be available in most of the world.
Hopefully, the collection will make its way to more markets internationally in time, but licensing deals can be tricky at the best of times.
If any announcement is made, we will do our due diligence to update you as soon as we can.
What's included in the Pokémon Le Creuset collection?
Quite a lot is included in the Pokémon Le Creuset collection. If you gotta catch 'em all, you’ll have a pretty well stocked-out kitchen. Check it all out below!
Unfortunately, pricing is in Yen for now, but we have converted the prices to British Pounds. The Yen is currently quite weak, so you can likely expect these prices to be a bit higher in the UK if they were officially released here.

Pokémon set of five Stacking Mugs

Each features a Poké Ball at the bottom of the mug.
