Casio has pulled out a proper collector’s piece to mark Pokemon’s 30th anniversary, and this one is a genuine first. The G-SHOCK GA-110PKM-7A is the brand’s first full sized G-SHOCK collaboration with Pokemon, after years of keeping these crossovers limited to the smaller Baby-G line.
It’s a Japan launch for now, run through a lottery system rather than a straightforward buy button, and there’s no confirmation yet of an India release. Here’s everything that’s confirmed so far.

What Makes the GA-110PKM-7A Different
This watch is built on the familiar GA-110 case, the same chunky analog digital shell G-SHOCK fans already know, but Casio has dressed it up entirely in Pokemon’s original red, green and blue colour scheme. That’s a direct nod to Pokemon Red, Green and Blue, the Game Boy titles that started the whole franchise back in 1996.
The watch hands, push buttons, bezel and dial all carry that retro tri-colour treatment. Look closer and you’ll spot two design touches built specifically for this collab: a sub-dial near the 9 o’clock position shaped like a Poke Ball, and an hour indicator hand cut into a Pikachu silhouette.
Flip the watch over and the case back carries a special engraved logo marking 30 years of Pokemon. Casio clearly wanted this to feel like a piece you’d want to keep in the box, not just wear.
The Band Is Where the Real Detail Sits
If you’re the kind of buyer who actually flips a watch over and studies the strap, this is the part worth your attention. The band features 30 Pokemon total, each one chosen to represent the franchise’s full history.
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Starter Pokemon featured | Three per generation, Kanto through Paldea |
| Additional Pokemon on band | Pikachu and Eevee |
| Total Pokemon on band itself | 29 |
| Pokemon on band loop | Mew (Mythical Pokemon, introduced 1996) |
| Total Pokemon across design | 30 |
Mew sitting on the band loop is a nice touch since it was one of the original Pokemon introduced in that very first 1996 release, which ties the whole design back to where the franchise started.
Even the packaging keeps the theme going. The outer box is decorated with all 30 Pokemon from the band design, and reports suggest the box itself is shaped like a Poke Ball.

This is a standard, dependable G-SHOCK feature set underneath the Pokemon styling. Nothing exotic on the tech side, which is fine, since the whole appeal here is the design work, not new functionality.
Price and Launch Details
Casio has confirmed this watch for Japan first, and the buying process isn’t the usual first come first served model. Official site.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Price | Approximately 33,000 Yen |
| Lottery registration window | July 1 to July 6, 2026 |
| Official launch date | July 17, 2026 |
| Purchase method | Lottery through Casio’s official online store |
A UK listing has also surfaced through Casio’s regional site, priced at £220, currently showing as a notify me page rather than an active purchase option. That suggests a wider international rollout is being planned, though nothing has been locked in for additional markets yet.
Is It Coming to India
There’s no confirmation either way right now. Casio sells G-SHOCK watches in India through both retail stores and Amazon.in, so a future India listing wouldn’t be surprising if international demand for this Pokemon collab turns out strong. But going by what’s officially announced, this is a Japan exclusive at launch, with a UK listing pointing toward possible wider availability down the line.
We’ll update this piece the moment Casio India or an authorised retailer confirms anything concrete.
Should You Be Excited About This One
If you’re a Pokemon collector who also happens to like G-SHOCK watches, this is probably one of the more thoughtfully designed crossovers Casio has put out in a while. Past Pokemon collabs stuck to the smaller Baby-G models, so scaling this up to a full sized GA-110 is a meaningful shift, and one that should appeal to a different crowd than the earlier releases did.
The Pikachu hand detail and the Poke Ball sub-dial feel like genuine design choices rather than a logo slapped onto an existing model. Whether that’s worth importing one for, or waiting on a possible India listing, depends on how much you value owning day one versus paying import costs and shipping from Japan.
