  • Early July 2026 is the target release window in Japan for Anker’s Pikachu-themed Nano Travel Adapter, priced at ¥5,990 as part of its Pokémon 30th Anniversary lineup.
  • The 5-in-1, 20W adapter works in more than 200 countries with Type E, A, G and I plugs, plus one AC outlet, two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports.
  • Each USB-C port delivers up to 20W when used alone, which Anker says can charge an iPhone 16 to 50% in under 30 minutes.
  • The model was unveiled after Anker Power Conference 2026 in Japan, where the broader Pokémon collection—five accessories including chargers, earphones and a pouch—was introduced.
  • Anker has not said whether the special edition will launch outside Japan; the standard adapter is already sold in the US for $25.99.
