Design

  • A chic batik pattern, incorporating elements of Pikachu and Poké Balls in its design.

  • Weaved into this Batik motif are patterns of Poké Ball and the Mystic Pokémon, Xatu, lending their color palette to a lively yet chic and formal design.

  • A pattern featuring the Star Shape Pokémon Staryu. Staryu’s bright red core provides an accent to the muted brown design.

  • Inspired by traditional Batik motifs, this pattern features Pikachu and flowers in a geometric design. It has a feel unlike any of the previous designs, with a bright background and color palette.

  • This batik features a Magikarp pattern blended with traditional batik motifs. The dominance of white and orange reflects Magikarp’s signature colors, with wave elements creating a dynamic yet elegant design.
