Japanese convenience stores (known as “Konbini”) are a treasure trove of limited-edition goods and collaboration events. Starting February 16, 2026, a special campaign has launched at Lawson stores across Japan for those who purchase download cards for the highly anticipated new game, Poco a Pokémon. By purchasing the designated card and applying, you are guaranteed to receive an original sticker that can only be found in Japan.
The Appeal of “Physical Rewards” for Digital Purchases
The highlight of this campaign is the original L-size sticker (approx. 89mm × 127mm / 3.5 x 5 inches), which you can print using the “Lawson Print” service available on the multi-copy machines inside Lawson stores.
Typically, purchasing a digital version of a game doesn’t leave you with any physical collectibles. However, by utilizing this uniquely Japanese convenience store service, fans can turn their digital purchase into a tangible part of their collection.
There are three different sticker designs in total. After applying, you will receive a 12-digit print number, which allows you to choose and print your favorite design. Since this is not a “lottery” but a “guaranteed” reward for those who meet the conditions, it is an incredibly attractive offer for fans who want to ensure they get their hands on one.
Eligible Product: Poco a Pokémon Download Card
To participate in the campaign, you must purchase a specific card at participating stores throughout Japan.
- Eligible Product: Poco a Pokémon Download Card (A prepaid card used to purchase the game code at the store)
- Available at: Lawson, Natural Lawson, and Lawson Store 100 locations nationwide
- Purchase Period: Monday, February 16, 2026 – Sunday, March 29, 2026
In addition to standard Lawson stores, these cards are also available at “Lawson Store 100,” which is similar to a 100-yen shop format. Please note that some stores may not carry the stock, so be sure to check the card racks (usually located in the POSA card section) inside the store.
Choose Your Favorite from 3 Exclusive Designs
The L-size stickers feature exclusive designs that vividly recreate the world of the game.
- Prize: Poco a Pokémon Original Sticker (L-size)
- Customization: You can choose one design from all three available varieties
- How to Receive: Use the 12-digit print number provided in the application completion email
Rather than a random drop where you don’t know what you’ll get, the ability to select a design featuring your favorite Pokémon is a thoughtful detail for collectors.
Printing Steps via Lawson Print
To print your sticker, operate the multi-function copier (multi-copy machine) found inside Lawson stores. The procedure is as follows:
- Select “Lawson Print” (LAWSON PRINT) from the copier’s menu screen.
- Touch the “Search by Print Number” (プリント番号で探す) button.
- Enter the 12-digit “Print Number” sent to your email after completing the application.
- Choose your desired design from the three displayed options and press the “Purchase” button.
- Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for the printing to complete.
Note: While the screen will display “Purchase” (購入), the sticker will be printed for free when using the code from this campaign. The reward code can only be used once, so please choose your design carefully.
Campaign Schedule and Important Notes
Managing the dates is crucial, as you will not be able to apply or print once the period has ended.
- Card Purchase Deadline: Monday, February 16 – Sunday, March 29
- Application Deadline: Monday, February 16 – Monday, March 30
- Sticker Printing Deadline: Until 23:59:59 on Sunday, April 12

An email address is required to apply. Additionally, stores do not accept returns or exchanges for these products, so if you have any questions, please contact the dedicated support desk.
