Each manhole cover had a unique design, featuring one or more Pokémon. In some cases, the choice of the featured Pokémon was related to the location – for example, [[Eevee]] was chosen for Ibusuki due to wordplay ({{nihongo|"Ibusuki"|いぶすき|ibusuki}} rhymes with {{nihongo|"I like Eevee"|イーブイ好き|Ībui suki}}),<ref name="ibusuki"/> and in some prefectures a specific Pokémon is consistently featured – such as in [[Hokkaido]], [[Tottori Prefecture|Tottori]], and [[Fukushima Prefecture|Fukushima]] where all covers featured the Pokémon [[Vulpix]], [[Sandshrew]]/[[Sandslash]] and [[Chansey]] respectively, which had been selected as the prefectures' "Pokémon ambassadors".<ref name="sera"/><ref>{{cite news |title=Tottori Prefecture is holding a Pokéfuta stamp rally for a chance to win some sumptuous prizes |url=https://soranews24.com/2021/08/18/tottori-prefecture-is-holding-a-pokefuta-stamp-rally-for-a-chance-to-win-some-sumptuous-prizes/ |access-date=1 December 2021 |work=SoraNews24 |date=18 August 2021 |archive-date=1 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211201132428/https://soranews24.com/2021/08/18/tottori-prefecture-is-holding-a-pokefuta-stamp-rally-for-a-chance-to-win-some-sumptuous-prizes/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=These Four Towns Are Getting Chansey-themed Pokemon Parks |url=https://twinfinite.net/2021/10/these-four-towns-are-getting-chansey-themed-pokemon-parks/ |access-date=1 December 2021 |work=Twinfinite |date=19 October 2021 |archive-date=1 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211201132426/https://twinfinite.net/2021/10/these-four-towns-are-getting-chansey-themed-pokemon-parks/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Many of the cover designs also feature local tourist attractions at their locations.<ref name="sera"/> The covers are used as "Pokéstops" in the mobile game ''[[Pokémon Go]]''.<ref name="famitsu"/> Official merchandise featuring the designs on the manhole covers have also been released.<ref>{{cite news |title=Pokemon manhole covers travel to you in new line of mugs, replicas, and other merchandise |url=https://japantoday.com/category/features/new-products/pokemon-manhole-covers-travel-to-you-in-new-line-of-mugs-replicas-and-other-merchandise |access-date=1 December 2021 |work=Japan Today |date=19 May 2020 |language=en |archive-date=1 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211201043515/https://japantoday.com/category/features/new-products/pokemon-manhole-covers-travel-to-you-in-new-line-of-mugs-replicas-and-other-merchandise |url-status=live }}</ref>
