Stern Pokémon Pinball Machine

Pokémon Pinball Machine by Stern

Available in Pro and Premium editions.

Gotta Catch ‘Em All. On a Pinball Machine.

Trainers embark on a journey across four distinct habitats, discovering and catching their favorite Pokémon with every shot. Shoot the illuminated, mechanically animated Poké Ball to add Pokémon to your team, build your ultimate collection, and battle your way through rival trainers and the arena — all while the animatronic Pikachu reacts to your gameplay in real time, cheering every step of the way. The iconic Pokémon Theme song, original animated series video clips, and custom voiceovers for Pikachu and Giovanni complete a pinball experience built to honor every detail of the franchise.

Meowth Balloon, Team Rocket, and the Battle Arena.

Danger lurks at every turn as Team Rocket plots their next move. The interactive Meowth Balloon toy swoops down onto the battle arena to challenge the Trainer mid-game. Premium and Limited Edition models add an interactive electromagnet that introduces a layer of unpredictable chaos to the battle arena. Dynamic custom battle sequences against rival trainers round out one of the most mechanically and narratively complete Pokémon experiences ever built.

Your Pokémon Collection Lives in the App.

Through Stern Insider Connected, every Pokémon a Trainer catches during a signed-in session is added to their personal Pokémon Collection in the Insider Connected app — visible, trackable, and persistent across machines and locations. The collection grows with every game, making each session a meaningful part of a larger ongoing journey beyond the machine itself.
