FamilyMart Eeevee Collaboration Snack Review: Does It Live up to the Hype?
Wanting to try everything, we hit up multiple FamilyMart locations, only to discover what many Pokemon fans already know: these collaborations are popular. Not every store carries the complete stock and some items fly off the shelves fast.
Case in point — we couldn't get our hands on the Sylveon Charm Peach Gelatin Drink anywhere, and despite purchasing multiple items that should have qualified us for the exclusive acrylic keychains, every store we visited had already run out, leaving us with nothing but our taste test haul and a promise that we'll be back for more.
List of Contents:
Eevee & Pikachu Chocolate Banana Frappé (¥350)
Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon Colorful Chicken Salad Sandwich (¥430)
Glaceon's Blizzard Ramune Warabimochi (¥168)
Leafeon Razor Leaf Roll Cake (¥178)
Sylveon Charm Peach Gelatin Drink (¥268)
Umbreon and Espeon Towel in pouch (¥2,000)
The Final Verdict

Eevee & Pikachu Chocolate Banana Frappé (¥350)
Like any frappé you can buy at FamilyMart, you can find these in the freezer section along with all the frozen drinks and smoothies. Just pop them into a smoothie maker machine, make sure you remove the plastic lid before you press start and wait until the hot milk is poured into the drink. Grab a straw or a muddler stick and stir until it's well-mixed.
The Verdict:
Perfect for a sweltering summer's day. You can definitely taste chocolate chips mixed in with the sweet, banana-flavored mixture. The drink melts pretty fast, so you'll have to be quick. The banana mix was sweeter than expected, but it was pleasant overall.
Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon Colorful Chicken Salad Sandwich (¥430)
You can't really go wrong with chicken, egg and greens. Each Eeveelution represents a different sandwich component: Fire-type Flareon is the bright red tomato sauce, Electric-type Jolteon is the fluffy
tamago
egg salad and Vaporeon, we're pretty sure, is the extra lettuce (it makes sense if you think about it as the greens were doused with water).
The Verdict:
This is a solid chicken salad sandwich that happens to look incredibly Instagram-worthy. The flavors work well together without being revolutionary, but the portion size is relatively small compared to the other convenience store sandwiches — think of it as the perfect breakfast sandwich rather than a full-blown meal.
Glaceon's Blizzard Ramune Warabimochi (¥168)
For the uninitiated,
ramune
is Japan's iconic soda — a fizzy, slightly sweet drink that comes in a distinctive glass bottle with a marble stopper.
Warabimochi
, on the other hand, is a traditional Japanese confection made from bracken starch, creating a jelly-like texture that's typically served with a soybean powder dusting.
The Verdict:
Yes, it's blue. But if you're a fan of ramune's distinctive fizzy flavor, this little treat will win you over. Plus, we were in for a bit of a surprise when we had it — instead of the uniform smooth, gooey texture you'd expect from traditional warabimochi, we were hit with random crunchy sugar crystals that pop in your mouth. Plus, the aroma of soda was quite strong.
Leafeon Razor Leaf Roll Cake (¥178)
If we're being completely honest, this was the undisputed star of our taste test. Wrapped in impossibly fluffy sponge cake and filled with delicate matcha-infused whipped cream, this roll cake was gone in seconds.
The Verdict:
We sliced this beauty into several portions for the team to try, and the reaction was unanimous praise. Light and mildly sweet, it also has that gorgeous swirled matcha pattern that makes it almost too pretty to eat. Almost. The connection to Leafeon through the matcha 'leaf' flavor is also quite clever.

Sylveon Charm Peach Gelatin Drink (¥268)
Sold out everywhere we looked, this was the one that got away. From the official images, this appears to be a peach jelly drink with real fruit pieces, packaged in two different adorable designs. Sometimes the most wanted items are the ones you can't have, and this Sylveon drink has achieved legendary status in our minds purely through scarcity.

Umbreon and Espeon Towel in pouch (¥2,000)
A part of FamilyMart's surprisingly popular Convenience Wear collection, these are towels that transform into adorable Umbreon and Espeon head-shaped pouches. At ¥2,000, they're definitely the premium item in this collaboration, but they could come in handy during Japan's
sweltering summers
.
The Final Verdict
Does the FamilyMart Eevee collaboration live up to the hype? Absolutely, but with the caveat that your mileage may vary depending on what you can actually find in stock. If you're keen on tasting them all as well, purchase two qualifying items, and you'll earn stamps on the FamilyMart app to unlock exclusive prizes.
Get two stamps, and you'll receive a special present code for the Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) Pocket containing 12-pack hourglasses and 12-challenge hourglasses, which are invaluable for speeding up your card collection progress in the game. Get four stamps and enter the lottery draw. You might even win one of the highly coveted Umbreon and Espeon towels for free.
Purchase two collaboration items in-store, and you'll be rewarded with exclusive acrylic keychains while supplies last. These limited-edition keychains began with the designs of Male Eevee alongside Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon and the fairy-type Sylveon.
On July 1, the second wave was introduced featuring Female Eevee accompanied by the remaining evolutions: the psychic Espeon, the dark Umbreon, the grass-type Leafeon and the ice-type Glaceon.
The campaign runs from June 24 to July 14, 2025. The stamp collection period extends to July 18, 2025. Pokemon TCG Pocket present codes must be redeemed by August 31, 2025. All prices above include tax.

PokePark Kanto, a New Pokemon Theme Park, Is Opening in Tokyo in 2026
Starting in early 2026, fans will finally have a real-world place to catch 'em all. PokePark Kanto, the first-ever permanent outdoor Pokemon theme park, is set to open inside Yomiuri Land in Inagi City, Tokyo. Set against the backdrop of Tama Hills, this 26,000-square-meter attraction will offer a fully immersive experience where Pokemon come to life all year round.

Inside PokePark Kanto: What We Know So Far About Its 2026 Opening If you've been following Pokemon since the beginning, the park's name will sound familiar. It's a double homage — both to the original Red, Blue and Green games , which are set in the fictional Kanto region, and to its real-life location in Tokyo's Kanto area. So far, no actual footage of the park has been released. Instead, the official announcement video revealed a beautifully crafted miniature diorama of the park, offering a charming preview of its layout and atmosphere. The park will be divided into two main zones: Pokemon Forest and Sedge Town. Image courtesy of ©2025 Pokémon. ©1995-2025 Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc. Pokemon Forest Pokemon Forest is a roughly 500-meter nature walk through varied terrain — think grassy paths, tunnels, slopes and trails. You'll be able to observe and find your favorite Pokémon mingling in groups, hiding in the underbrush or roaming freely around the terrain. Image courtesy of ©2025 Pokémon. ©1995-2025 Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc. Sedge Town Serving as the park's social hub, Sedge Town centers around a Primarina-themed fountain. This area will include a Pokemon Center, Pokemart and a Pokemon Trainers' Market, where guests can shop for themed merchandise. A Sedge Gym will give aspiring trainers a chance to test their skills, while a Pokemon Greeting Parade will let visitors of all ages meet a variety of Pokemon up close. Two larger attractions are also in development — rumored to include a Pikachu-themed ride and a merry-go-round — though details haven't been confirmed yet. When Can You Visit PokePark Kanto in 2026? Tickets are expected to go on sale in stages starting in fall 2025, with pricing and reservation details to be announced closer to the park's grand opening in early 2026. In the meantime, keep the momentum going — hop on the train for the 2025 Pokemon Stamp Rally , or brush up your Pokedex by getting to know some dark Pokemon lore .

Everything You Need To Know About the 2025 Pokemon Stamp Rally
Pokemon Stamp Rally season is officially back. This annual tradition — a summer-long collaboration between JR East and The Pokemon Company — invites fans to crisscross Tokyo and neighboring regions by train, collecting special stamps at participating stations. Think of it as a real-world Pokedex adventure: pick up a booklet, travel to train stations and collect custom Pokemon stamps. Complete the course, and you'll earn exclusive Pokemon-themed rewards. The 2025 edition of the JR East Pokemon Mega Stamp Rally spans 36 stations across the Tokyo metropolitan area. Like the games, where you build your team one Pokemon at a time, this rally challenges you to collect stamps while exploring new neighborhoods and leveling up your travel experience. From July 18 to August 31, aspiring trainers can gather stamps and earn tiered rewards, from limited-edition merchandise to trading cards and toys. With dozens of stations, stamps, Pokemon and prizes to keep track of, the sheer scale of the rally can be a little overwhelming. Here's your definitive guide to navigating this year's Mega Stamp Rally like a pro. List of Contents: Rally Station Map Stage 1: The Starter Course Stage 2: Trainer Tier Stage 3: Pokemon Master Challenge Extra Stage Merchandise and Extra Campaign Activities Related Posts Rally Station Map This year, 36 Pokemon character stamps are scattered across JR East stations in and around Tokyo. Below is a full list of participating stations and where to find each stamp. We also included both the characters' official English names and their official Japanese names for your reference. Be warned that most stamps are located outside the ticket gates, meaning that you must tap your IC card to officially exit and collect the stamp. Your card will be charged even if you exit and re-enter the station to move on to the next location. If you are planning on catching all of the Pokemon, it might be a good idea to invest in a JR Tokyo Free Ticket to access unlimited JR East lines throughout the day.

Each stage has its own unique prizes. Stage 1: The Starter Course To complete Stage 1, collect any six character stamps. Once you have them, head to one of the nine designated NewDays 'Goal Shops' (locations listed below) and exchange your booklet for your first reward.

Good news: you're allowed to cut and paste previously collected stamps from Stage 1 into your Stage 2 booklet. But if you're aiming to complete all 36 eventually, it's worth collecting new ones. Once you've completed Stage 2, visit the Tokyo Station Goal Counter to claim your next rewards: a Pokemon Frienda Yellow Mega Lucario arcade game card, a clear multi-case featuring this year's Pokemon and an entry ticket for a lottery giveaway — 50 winners will receive a Yellow Mega Lucario plush toy. Stage 3: Pokemon Master Challenge To become an ultimate Pokemon Master, catch all 36 Pokemon! If you get all 36 stamps in your booklet, bring it to the Tokyo Station Goal Counter to receive an exclusive keychain. Extra Stage This extra stage of the rally ventures outside of the Tokyo metropolitan area, into the Tohoku region. You can collect stamps of the legendary Six Heroes at designated shinkansen stations.
