Secretlab's Pikachu, Gengar and Eevee Chairs Bring Kanto to Your Desk

Secretlab adds Pikachu, Gengar and Eevee TITAN Evo chairs to its Pokémon range. Philippine pricing and launch dates for the Kanto editions are still unconfirmed.

Secretlab's Pikachu, Gengar and Eevee Chairs Bring Kanto to Your Desk

Secretlab has added three Kanto chairs to its Pokémon Collection, and the interesting part is how far the artwork goes beyond a printed logo. The Pikachu, Gengar and Eevee Editions are all TITAN Evo chairs, but the designs are worked into the fabric itself.

Texture does the heavy lifting

For these editions, Secretlab set aside its usual leatherette and used microsuede and velour. The result is a soft, embossed surface that changes with the light, so the artwork looks different in a bright room than in a dim one. If you've watched flat printed chair covers fade or look cheap up close, this is the detail to check first.

Each chair also carries its Pokémon's type symbol and a Pokédex number on the backrest. Those touches are small, but they're what turn a gaming chair into something closer to a display piece.

Three chairs, three different approaches

The Pikachu Edition is the busiest of the set. It places 11 separate Pikachu poses across the wings over a black-to-yellow gradient, and an Electric-type symbol traces the backrest. Think of it as the one you'd pick if you want the most visible character presence from across the room.

The Gengar Edition takes a more restrained route. Gengar sits front and centre on the backrest, with Ghost and Poison symbols alongside, while Gastly and Haunter are tucked into the purple gradient of the wings. It's a darker, moodier look, and the hidden characters reward a closer glance.

The Eevee Edition is the most layered of the three. All eight Eevee evolutions, from Vaporeon to Sylveon, run along the side wings against cream and brown panels. Eevee fans who want to show off the whole family will likely find this the most satisfying option.

What's underneath the artwork

Here's the thing: the graphics are the headline, but the chair is standard TITAN Evo hardware. That means a cold-cure foam seat, a sculpted pebble base and a 4-way L-ADAPT lumbar support. If you already know the TITAN Evo and like how it sits, you're not giving anything up for the artwork. The collection comes in Regular and XL, so sizing still matters as much as the design.

That said, the fabric change is new for this line. Whether microsuede and velour hold up as well as leatherette over long daily use is something only time and hands-on testing will answer. If you're buying for daily long sessions, it's worth reading early owner feedback before committing.

From Kanto to Hoenn

The three Kanto chairs sit inside a wider Pokémon Collection that now reaches into Hoenn. Secretlab also offers a Rayquaza Edition TITAN Evo, a Groudon & Kyogre Edition memory foam lumbar pillow, and a set of SKINS chair sleeves in Fire, Grass and Water themes. The sleeves carry Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise in pixel art, which makes them the cheapest way into the range if a full chair is too much.

Irene Tee, Senior Product Graphic Designer at Secretlab, described the brief as making the furniture feel collectible without tipping into toy territory. She put it this way:

“Much like some of the biggest Pokémon fans today, I also grew up with the franchise. That’s why we wanted this chair collection to speak to the inner child in all of us, while still being elevated with craftsmanship that would appeal to our now grown-up selves,” she said.

Pricing and availability in the Philippines

Secretlab's Lazada store already lists the Rayquaza Edition TITAN Evo at PHP 41,758 and the Groudon & Kyogre lumbar pillow at PHP 4,500. The Pikachu, Gengar and Eevee Editions are the newest entries, and their local listings and peso prices haven't appeared yet.

Secretlab hasn't announced a Philippine launch date for the three Kanto editions, so there's no local price to compare against yet. Until one appears, the Rayquaza pricing gives a sense of where the premium TITAN Evo tier sits in the local market.

There's a useful precedent here. The K/DA FIRESTARTER line arrived on Lazada Philippines in October with the themed TITAN Evo at the same PHP 41,758 list price. If the Kanto editions follow that path, I'd expect a similar staggered rollout, though that's my read of the pattern rather than anything Secretlab has confirmed.

Where this fits

The release lands as Pokémon closes out its 30th anniversary year, and as Secretlab keeps widening its licensed chair catalogue in the Philippines. The brand already sells its MAGNUS Pro desks through the same two marketplaces, so a single shopping trip can cover both a chair and a desk.

For buyers, the practical next step is watching the Shopee and Lazada listings for the three Kanto editions to appear with peso pricing. If you're already set on a TITAN Evo, the Kanto designs are a matter of taste rather than performance. If you want the artwork, be ready to wait for local stock and a price.
