Shiny Magikarp and Shiny Gyarados Pokémon Center Boards Arrive

Pokémon Center and Bear Walker Launch Lake of Rage Skateboards

Pokémon Center has added a new pair of Bear Walker skateboards to its lineup, bringing two Shiny Pokémon from the Lake of Rage collection into a handcrafted wooden format. The release includes a cruiser skateboard inspired by Shiny Magikarp and a skateboard deck featuring Shiny Gyarados, both now available through Pokémon Center.

Bear Walker is known for handcrafted wooden boards, and this latest collaboration leans into the visual style of the Johto region location that inspired the collection. The two boards are designed as display pieces as much as rideable skateboards, giving collectors and Pokémon fans another themed release to track down.

Shiny Magikarp Cruiser Features Carved Wood Design

The Shiny Magikarp cruiser skateboard is the more detailed of the two functional boards. According to Bear Walker, the design is carved into the wood and intended to evoke a Japanese woodblock aesthetic. The artwork gives the board a handcrafted look that fits the wooden construction and the Lake of Rage theme.

This release also includes a notable first for a Pokémon Center x Bear Walker cruiser skateboard. For the first time on one of these cruiser boards, the Pokémon appears on the opposite side of the board as well. That added detail gives the Shiny Magikarp cruiser a more complete presentation from both sides.

The cruiser also comes with matching wheels and trucks, making it a fully functional skateboard rather than a decorative display piece only. That combination of rideability and themed artwork is part of what makes the release stand out within the Pokémon Center x Bear Walker partnership.

Shiny Gyarados Deck Uses Iridescent Foil Effects

The companion skateboard deck shifts the focus to Shiny Gyarados, which appears to be charging through the waves in the artwork. The design gives the impression that the Pokémon is bursting out of the board itself, creating a dramatic visual effect that suits the red Shiny Gyarados color scheme.

Bear Walker’s artwork for the deck uses iridescent foil effects to add shimmer to the image. That finish helps the board stand out whether it is mounted on a wall or kept as part of a collection. The foil treatment gives the deck a reflective look that complements the energetic pose of the Pokémon.

Unlike the cruiser, the deck is presented as a standard skateboard deck, making it a display-friendly option for collectors who prefer wall art or a board to build out with their own setup. The combination of the foil artwork and the Shiny Gyarados subject gives the release a strong visual identity.

Holographic Certificate of Authenticity Included

Both the Shiny Magikarp cruiser skateboard and the Shiny Gyarados skateboard deck include a holographic certificate of authenticity card. That added item helps confirm the release as part of the Pokémon Center x Bear Walker collaboration and gives each board a collectible component beyond the artwork itself.

The certificates fit the premium presentation of the boards, which are positioned as collectible items whether they are used for skating or displayed at home. With the holographic COA included in both releases, the pair offers a consistent package for collectors interested in the Lake of Rage theme.

Lake of Rage Theme Connects the Two Releases

The new boards are grouped under the Lake of Rage collection, tying them to one of the most recognizable locations in the Johto region. That setting is closely associated with Shiny Pokémon, making Shiny Magikarp and Shiny Gyarados a natural fit for the theme.

The collection uses that connection to create two different interpretations of the same idea. Shiny Magikarp is presented through the carved wooden cruiser, while Shiny Gyarados gets the more intense deck artwork with foil effects. Together, the boards form a matched set that reflects both the calm and dramatic sides of the Lake of Rage concept.

For collectors following Pokémon Center collaborations, the release continues the brand’s pattern of pairing popular Pokémon with handcrafted Bear Walker boards. The result is a product line that blends skate culture, display appeal, and Pokémon artwork in a single release.
