What font is the Pokémon logo?
The Pokémon logo is hand-drawn lettering rather than a font you can install. The fan font this copies is Pokemon Solid, which has a Hollow twin and has been on dafont since before 2005. Google’s AI answer credits both to IPBP, but dafont’s page names no author and no licence.
Google's listing for Pokemon Solid claims free use for personal projects, yet dafont's FAQ warns that a blank license field doesn't guarantee a font is free, so I'm not listing it here. Londrina Solid, created by Marcelo Magalhães, shares the same thick strokes and is free for any project under the SIL Open Font License: This is the typeface this page is about.
The Pokémon look in yellow and blue
The logo is yellow letters with a blue outline, a capital P and small letters, with the accent on the é. They are heavy and wonky, each sitting a little off its neighbor, which is what makes the word look so lively.
The Solid style on the Logo background paints your text in Pokémon yellow, #FFCB05, edged in blue, #3B4CCA, against a dark blue backdrop. Outline produces hollow letters, similar to the Pokemon Hollow twin, while Clear keeps only the yellow and its blue edge for layering over a photo.
Make a Pokémon-style card or title
Enter the name for your card or heading in the generator above, whether a name, a team, or a pet, and leave Solid on the Logo background selected.
Export the Clear version to overlay a photo, or the Logo background version for a cover or party sign.
In Canva or CapCut, insert the picture as an image and place it at the top of your card or the beginning of your video.
For small text like an HP figure or a date, grab Londrina Solid from here and install it in Canva's Brand Kit, a feature for Canva Pro users who upload their own fonts.

Questions
Is the Pokémon font free?
Google's listing for Pokemon Solid on dafont claims free personal use, but the page has no license info, so I'm not listing it here. Londrina Solid, this page's font, is free for any project under the SIL Open Font License.
What font do Pokémon cards use?
Google’s AI answer says international Pokémon cards have used Gill Sans since 1999: Condensed Bold for card names, attacks and abilities, Bold Italic for the info bars and Regular for body text. Gill Sans is a paid typeface, so I'm not listing it here.
Is there a Pokémon pixel font?
Google’s AI answer names Pokemon GB, a bitmap font by Jackster Productions made after the dialog text of early Game Boy games such as Pokémon Red and Blue. Not provided here: this page gives a free font for the logo look, not the Game Boy look.
Can I use the Pokémon font in Canva?
Grab Londrina Solid from here and add it through Canva's Brand Kit, which needs Canva Pro for uploading your own fonts. Alternatively, export the picture from the generator above and place it in your design as an image, so no font is needed.
Can I sell things made with the Pokémon font?
Londrina Solid's license covers anything you sell, provided the wording is your own. The Pokémon name and logo stay The Pokémon Company’s, so do not put them on things you sell.
