Pokémon fans, today is another exciting day for PEZ collectors in the USA!
We have been talking about this release for quite some time, and now the wait is finally over. The brand-new Pokémon PEZ Gift Set is making its U.S. debut, bringing together four Pokémon in one fantastic collector box:
Pikachu, Eevee, Umbreon and Espeon!
And while a new Pokémon PEZ gift set would already be exciting enough, this particular box is special for another reason.
Umbreon and Espeon are joining the PEZ family!
Two New Pokémon Join the Collection!
PEZ collectors have watched the Pokémon assortment grow considerably over the years, with Pikachu naturally becoming one of the most recognizable faces of the collection.
We’ve seen different Pikachu versions, Eevee, Poké Balls, gift sets and plenty of other Pokémon surprises along the way.
But 2026 has turned into an especially exciting year for Pokémon fans.
This year marks the 30th Anniversary of Pokémon, and PEZ has certainly given collectors plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Earlier this year, we shared a first look at some of the Pokémon surprises PEZ had planned for the anniversary year, including the exciting news that Umbreon and Espeon were coming to PEZ.
You can take a look back at everything we shared in our 30 Years of Pokémon PEZ story here.
And now…
They’re here!
From Eevee to Umbreon and Espeon!
The choice of these two new characters makes this gift set particularly fun.
Collectors already have Eevee in the PEZ lineup, and now two of Eevee’s best-known evolutions are joining the collection with their own PEZ dispensers.
Umbreon, with its black body, yellow markings and striking red eyes, looks fantastic as a PEZ dispenser.
And right beside it is Espeon, instantly recognizable by its lavender coloring, large ears and red forehead jewel.
Add Eevee and Pikachu to the box, and PEZ has put together a pretty great four-character Pokémon set.
The presentation is nice too. All four dispensers are displayed together in a colorful Pokémon gift box, while the back features artwork of Pikachu, Eevee, Umbreon and Espeon.
The new gift set includes four PEZ dispensers and six PEZ Candy refills.
Pokémon PEZ Has Come a Long Way!
It is pretty amazing to look back at how much the Pokémon PEZ collection has grown.
What started as a much smaller assortment has expanded over the years with new Pokémon, different Pikachu versions, Poké Balls, gift sets and other special releases.
Then came 2026, and Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary kicked things into another gear!
Most recently, we reported on the special Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Pikachu, featuring the fantastic Full Body Pikachu with a special anniversary stem print.
And now American collectors can add Umbreon and Espeon to the ever-growing Pokémon PEZ family.
But we’re not finished yet!
Keep Track with Our Pokémon PEZ Pictorial!
With all these new releases, keeping track of every Pokémon PEZ dispenser is becoming a challenge all by itself!
That’s exactly why we created our Pokémon PEZ Pictorial, bringing the releases together in one place so collectors can see what they already have and perhaps discover a few Pokémon that are still missing from their collections.
And yes…
Umbreon and Espeon have officially given us two more boxes to check!
The Wait Is Over, USA!
Good news for our American Pokémon collectors! The wait for the new four-piece Pokémon PEZ Gift Set is officially over. Featuring Pikachu, Eevee and the brand-new Umbreon and Espeon PEZ dispensers, the colorful new gift box is being released today through the PEZ Candy Inc. Online Store.
But there is still one special Pokémon anniversary surprise that our American friends will have to be a little more patient for!
The Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Full Body Pikachu, featuring its special anniversary stem print, is already available through the European PEZ Online Store, but has not made its way to the USA just yet.
Don’t worry, American collectors — your turn is coming! For now, you can welcome Umbreon and Espeon to the PEZ family while keeping just a little extra room on that Pokémon shelf for the Anniversary Pikachu when it finally makes its U.S. debut.
Something tells us that Pokémon shelf is going to be getting pretty crowded before this anniversary year is over!
So now we have to ask:
Which one are you most excited to add to your collection, Umbreon or Espeon?
Or are you like us and already know the answer is…
BOTH!
Happy Collecting!
