Various Pokémon merchandise has been released in connection with different series of Pokémon manga. Due to the comparatively higher popularity of the games, anime and TCG, there is significantly less manga tie-in merchandise than there is compared to other Pokémon media. Regardless, several items have been released for retail sale and as promotional items.

Magical Pokémon Journey

A deck of playing cards featuring characters from Magical Pokémon Journey was released as a promotional item with Ciao magazine. Each suit in the set features a different character from the series - spades is Pikachu, hearts is Jigglypuff, clubs is Squirtle and diamonds is Clefairy. The majority of the artwork on the cards was created exclusively for this set. All of the Queens in the set feature Hazel alongside the suit's Pokémon, and all the Jacks likewise feature Almond. The Jokers in the set feature Grandpa. There is also a card included with the set which has no function in regular play but features all four Pokémon.
