Pokémon PEZ dispensers
Several varieties of PEZ candy dispensers have been manufactured with the likenesses of Pokémon characters. In particular, many PEZ dispenser sets can be found in gachapon machines in Japan. Other varieties have been available worldwide, however.
Pokémon PEZ Dispensers (2001)
A set of five Pokémon PEZ dispensers was released in Europe in 2001.[1] This series included Pikachu, Mew, Koffing, Meowth and Psyduck.
Refills
Packages of refill candies were also available featuring Pokémon on the packages. The PEZ candy inside was no different from normal. The following Pokémon were featured on the packaging: Pikachu, Psyduck, Blastoise, Charmander, Squirtle and Mew.
Japanese Mini PEZ series
There have been three different series of miniature Pokémon PEZ dispensers in Japan. These PEZ dispensers, which can only hold a few pieces of PEZ candy and are generally only purchased for collectible purposes, are sold in gachapon machines throughout Japan.
