Pokémon Planes (2026): Every Active Jet, Route & Schedule

As of July 2026, there are 12 active Pokémon planes flying for eight airlines. The fleet now includes two China Airlines jets and two Garuda Indonesia jets, while ANA is about to add three more aircraft for Pokémon’s 30th anniversary.

The first of those new ANA planes, Red Pokémon Jet (JA819A), starts scheduled service on July 29. Green Pokémon Jet and Blue Pokémon Jet are due later in 2026, but they are not counted as active yet.

This guide covers every aircraft currently flying, its registration, where it normally operates, the official schedules that are actually useful, and how to book a Pokémon flight without paying extra.

How Many Pokémon Planes Are Flying?

Our count is 12 active commercial aircraft on July 23, 2026. It includes the jets listed by Pokémon Air Adventures, plus AIRDO’s Rokon Jet and Solaseed Air’s Nassy Jet, two active Japanese regional Pokémon liveries that are not shown on the international project page.

That number changes quickly in 2026:

The last two totals are projections, not confirmed fleet counts. ANA has not announced exact launch dates for Green or Blue, and an older livery could be withdrawn before winter.

All 12 Active Pokémon Planes

The registration column is linked to each aircraft’s Flightradar24 history. A registration is much more reliable than searching for a livery name because it identifies one specific aircraft.

ANA’s Three New Pokémon Jets

ANA is marking Pokémon’s 30th anniversary and the 40th anniversary of its international flights with Red, Green, and Blue Pokémon Jets. These are separate from the existing Pikachu Jet NH and Eevee Jet NH.

ANA’s official 30th-anniversary page lists Red’s potential routes through October 24, 2026. From Tokyo Haneda, the aircraft can appear on flights to Sapporo, Hakodate, Osaka Itami, Takamatsu, Matsuyama, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Okinawa, Miyako, and Ishigaki. It can also operate from Osaka Itami to Sapporo, Okinawa, Miyako, and Ishigaki.

Those are eligible routes, not a fixed daily schedule. ANA says the operating route may not be confirmed until the day of departure.

The liveries use the familiar red, green, and blue game themes. Red features Fire-type Pokémon, Green features Grass types, and Blue features Water types. The cabin program includes themed headrest covers, cups, cocktail napkins, and original merchandise, although ANA warns that some items may run out.

Routes and Schedules by Airline

ANA: Pikachu Jet NH and Eevee Jet NH

The two existing ANA Pokémon aircraft are expected to remain in service until around 2028:

• Pikachu Jet NH (JA894A) is a Boeing 787-9, usually used on international flights from Tokyo to Asia and Oceania. It can also appear on selected routes to North America.
• Eevee Jet NH (JA784A) is a Boeing 777-300ER, normally used on long-haul services between Tokyo and the United States or Europe.

ANA does not guarantee either jet on a specific flight. Its Pikachu Jet NH and Eevee Jet NH page is useful for the list of eligible routes, but the airline may only settle the actual aircraft assignment on the day.

Skymark: Pikachu Jet BC1 and BC2

Skymark’s two Boeing 737-800s are the easiest Pokémon planes to target on a trip within Japan:

• Pikachu Jet BC1 (JA73AB) has a yellow fuselage and ten Flying Pikachu.
• Pikachu Jet BC2 (JA73NG) has an ocean design with Wailord, Flying Pikachu, Shaymin, Magikarp, and smaller Pokémon hidden around the aircraft.

Both move around Skymark’s domestic network. Rather than publishing a long-range timetable, Skymark shows today’s and tomorrow’s Pikachu Jet flights. The schedule normally appears one day before departure.

Skymark is also very clear about the risk: normal change and cancellation fees apply if your flight gets a different aircraft.

AIRDO and Solaseed Air

These two aircraft are regional Pokémon collaborations rather than part of the current list on the international Pokémon Air Adventures site:

• AIRDO’s Rokon Jet (JA607A) has Vulpix on one side and Alolan Vulpix on the other. It mainly operates between Tokyo Haneda and Hokkaido airports such as Sapporo, Hakodate, and Asahikawa.
• Solaseed Air’s Nassy Jet (JA803X) features Exeggutor and Alolan Exeggutor, the mascots used to promote Miyazaki Prefecture. It usually flies from Haneda to Kyushu and Okinawa.

Neither airline publishes a dependable long-range Pokémon flight schedule. Check the registration’s recent history, then confirm the assigned aircraft close to departure.

Scoot: Pikachu Jet TR

Scoot’s Pikachu Jet TR (9V-OJJ) is a Boeing 787-9 based in Singapore. It is one of the best choices for a planned Pokémon flight because Scoot publishes specific rotations.

The next published flights after July 23 are:

These dates are current as of July 23, 2026 and remain subject to operational changes.

China Airlines: Pikachu Jet CI and CI2

China Airlines now has two Pokémon planes:

• Pikachu Jet CI (B-18101) is an Airbus A321neo introduced in 2022. It continues to fly within Northeast Asia, but its most recent dedicated schedule ended on June 30, 2026. Track the registration for its current assignment.
• Pikachu Jet CI2 (B-18916) is an Airbus A350-900 that entered service on April 2, 2026. It features 13 Pokémon and Taiwanese floral tile motifs.

The official CI2 schedule currently runs through October 24, 2026:

China Airlines says CI2 will primarily operate these services, which still leaves room for an aircraft substitution.

T’way Air: Pikachu Jet TW

T’way’s Pikachu Jet TW (HL8306) is a Boeing 737-800 with Pikachu, Eevee, Jigglypuff, and Meloetta. It operates within South Korea and on shorter international routes around Asia.

T’way does not publish a stable Pokémon schedule far in advance. The practical method is to follow HL8306’s recent flights and look for its next assigned service.

Garuda Indonesia: Pikachu Jet GA1 and GA2

Garuda’s fleet doubled in 2025:

• Pikachu Jet GA1 (PK-GMU) is a Boeing 737-800 introduced in 2024. It usually operates within Indonesia and on shorter regional routes.
• Pikachu Jet GA2 (PK-GPY) is an Airbus A330-300. It entered service on April 1, 2025 with flight GA402 from Jakarta to Bali, and it can operate both domestic and international routes.

The A330 design combines five Pikachu with different batik patterns. Garuda’s launch announcement confirms the aircraft type, registration, and plans for themed headrests, cups, cutlery, lavatory decals, and overhead-bin stickers.

How to Find a Pokémon Flight

There is no special “Pokémon flight” filter in an airline booking engine. The reliable process is:

1. Choose an aircraft and copy its registration. For example, the Scoot jet is 9V-OJJ and the ANA Eevee Jet is JA784A.
2. Check the airline’s official Pokémon schedule. China Airlines, Scoot, and Skymark provide the most useful information.
3. Search the registration on a flight-tracking site. Recent flight history can reveal the routes and flight numbers the aircraft has been operating.
4. Book the normal flight. The Pokémon plane does not have a separate fare or booking class.
5. Confirm the registration close to departure. Check the evening before and again on the day of travel.

Booking at the last minute gives you the best chance of matching an aircraft assignment, but it can mean higher cash fares and fewer award seats. Booking months ahead gives you more options, but much less certainty about the livery.

Search the Flight, Then Confirm the Aircraft

AwardFares handles the bookable part of this process. Use Schedule to narrow the route down to actual flight numbers, then run an AwardFares Search to compare live award availability across supported programs. Once you find a seat that works, return to the registration links above and confirm the assigned aircraft.

AwardFares can help you find and monitor the seat, but no search tool can guarantee that the airline will keep the Pokémon livery assigned to your flight.

Ticket Prices and Booking with Points

It does not cost extra to fly on a Pokémon plane. You pay the normal fare for that flight, whether it is operated by a standard aircraft or a special livery.

There is also no fixed “Pokémon flight ticket price.” The cost depends on the route, date, cabin, demand, and airline. The same applies to award tickets: the livery does not create a separate mileage price or extra award inventory.

You can use miles when the airline or one of its partners releases an award seat:

• ANA flights may be available through ANA Mileage Club or other Star Alliance programs.
• China Airlines and Garuda Indonesia awards may be available through their own programs or SkyTeam partners.
• T’way is not in a global alliance, while Scoot is a low-cost airline, so points options are more limited.
• Skymark, AIRDO, and Solaseed Air are usually easier to book with cash unless you already use their domestic programs or partnerships.

The best order is to find a suitable cash or award seat first, then check the aircraft assignment close to departure.

What Is It Like Onboard?

The cabin experience varies much more than the exterior. Depending on the airline and available stock, a Pokémon flight can include:

• Character headrest covers, cups, napkins, meal packaging, or crew aprons.
• Pokémon boarding music, announcements, or in-flight entertainment.
• Children’s meals and small commemorative gifts.
• Limited merchandise such as model aircraft, lanyards, bags, and keychains.
• Pokémon decorations at selected check-in counters or gates.

ANA also shows Pokémon safety and disembarkation videos on most of its domestic and international aircraft, not only the two Pokémon liveries. At Haneda Terminal 2, the ANA Pokémon Kids TV Lounge extends the theme into the airport.

China Airlines built its newest CI2 experience around themed check-in, cabin supplies, children’s meals, and gifts. Scoot decorates parts of the cabin and sells themed merchandise, while Skymark uses Pikachu cups and offers original items on selected flights.

Do not assume every advertised item will be onboard. Airlines regularly say that products, gifts, and themed service items can run out or change without notice.

History of the Pokémon Jets

ANA introduced the world’s first Pokémon Jets in July 1998, around the Japanese release of Pokémon: The First Movie. The original fleet included Boeing 747s and 767s, followed by liveries such as the Pikachu Jumbo, Ohana Jumbo, and PEACE★JET.

The first era ended in 2016 when ANA removed its last original Pokémon livery. The idea returned in 2020 with Solaseed Air, then expanded through the Pokémon Air Adventures project:
