Yo-kai Medals have been manufactured as collectable merchandise, which are sold within packets or with toys. They can be used in a toy Yo-kai Watch that plays the summoning song of the Yo-kai's Tribe, or stored in a real-life Yo-kai Medallium. Each of them has a QR Code at the back, which can be used to scan items in the video games.
There are certain Yo-kai Medals that have different compatibility with certain Yo-kai Watches, such as the original Japanese Model Zero only being able to play Z Medals, or newer Yo-kai Medals being incompatible with older models. Though, this was compensated with the Model U being able to play any kind of Yo-kai Medal released at the time, and included an SD Card function that allows it to be upgraded over time.
The Yo-kai Medals in Japan, South Korea, and several Asian countries have been manufactured by Bandai, which were released from 2014-2017, and 2019-2023. In America, Europe and other territories, they were manufactured by Hasbro and lasted from 2015-2018.
Overview[]
This article is currently under construction for various kinds of reasons by the administrators of Yo-kai Watch Wiki. This will mean that the article may or may not be locked for some time.
Yo-kai Medals are collectable items that were originally sold when Yo-kai Watch was popular in Japan.
Compatibility[]
Each Yo-kai Medal has a QR Code on the back that can be scanned for specific items in the video games. They usually give out colored coins of their respective Tribe when scanned or a special item to fight them with like a Rubinyan Coin, making them appear in the game to be battled once per day.
In the original Yo-kai Watch video game, QR Codes were locked entirely to Hasbro-manufactured medals which made the Gemnyans unobtainable for some time, but this was fixed in Yo-kai Watch 2 when the QR codes were used from the Bandai equivalents. However, QR codes for Japanese Song Medals in Yo-kai Watch Blasters give out One-Star Coins instead due to the item not making an appearance in the game.
Bandai Japanese Medals[]
Yo-kai Medals that are sold in Japan are manufactured by Bandai Japan. They first came out in Japan around early 2014, when the animated series was making it's debut and when the first set of regular medals were released throughout the year.
They became a big selling point before and after Yo-kai Watch 2 was released in Japan, causing Bandai to expand the franchise into other Asian countries. Medals were released in South Korea in 2015, with the Japanese names being replaced with several Korean names.
Ever since the success, Bandai has gone on to reprint the first two sets of Yo-kai Medals, with fan-selected Yo-kai getting holo variants and released two types of Medals in 2016 to coincide with the release of the Yo-kai Watch Model U.
Yo-kai Medal sets were temporarily discontinued in late 2017 to make room for the real-life Yo-kai Keystones to coincide with the short-lived Yo-kai Watch Shadowside and Yo-kai Watch! series. Yo-kai Medals would be reproduced again as Y Medals before going back to regular medals to coincide with the Yo-kai Watch♪ series.

Hasbro Medals[]
Yo-kai Watch
A commercial for the Hasbro-manufactered Yo-kai Watch, featuring Yo-kai Medals.
Yo-kai Medals that were sold in America, Europe, Oceania and Middle Eastern territories were manufactured by Hasbro before their discontinuation in summer 2018. They were released in line with the Yo-kai Watch anime and video game back in Winter 2015, and has grown to expand in other international territories in 2016. Unlike Yo-kai Medals that were produced by Bandai, they have the Yo-kai's name removed so it could function properly with other-language watches.
In Fall 2016, Hasbro released their version of Zeroshiki Medals, going by the moniker of "Yo-Motion". It allows the Model Zero watch to display holographic animations of the Yo-kai that was being summoned by the watch, after the tribe summoning song was played. In North America, the Yo-Motion Medals only lasted for two sets but two more were sold in France, Spain and Italy.
In Spring 2018, An upgrade to Yo-Motion technology known as "Yo-Motion X2" was released only in France and in Latin America. It features a version of the U Medals, which are now colored blue likely to distinguish between the green Yo-Motion Medals.
Unlike Bandai Yo-kai Medals, Hasbro-manufactured Yo-kai Medals are not compatible with Japanese watches, nor Asian Medals are compatible with Hasbro-manufactured Medals. This is due to the medals themselves having a different bump pattern at the bottom, as both medal types cannot completely go inside the watch.
Application Compatibility[]
A Jibanyan Medal being scanned in the AR Mode feature for Yo-kai Watch Land.
- Main article: Yo-kai Watch Land
To coincide with the release of Hasbro's Yo-kai Watch merchandise, an application for iOS and Android devices called Yo-kai Watch Land was released. On the App, QR codes could be scanned, which allowed them to take augmented-reality pictures of Yo-kai and view 3D Wiki entries for them. It would eventually end up being taken off the app store on December 31, 2018 due the discontinuation of Hasbro-produced merchandise in western territories.
Like in the Japanese version, Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble could read Yo-kai Medals direct from the Yo-kai Watch Land app. The more medals that are read, the more the player could exchange them for new titles and profile icons.
Criticism[]
A comparison of a Kyryn Medal between a Japanese and Western variant. The scaled-down artwork was heavily criticised by fans.
The western release of Yo-kai Medals was met by controversy and criticism by fans and collectors, due to reasons such as poor stock issues, region-restricted Yo-kai Medals or lack of demand.
In the localized versions of the Yo-kai Watch video game, only Hasbro-produced medal QR codes can be scanned, leaving the Gemnyans completely unobtainable for some time. In 2016, Hasbro released a limited-edition set involving the five Gemnyan Medals, which caused controversy in the fandom due to the high price and limited availability. Later, the Gemnyan QR Codes were officially distributed on the internet by Hasbro themselves and the second game now accepts QR Codes from their Bandai counterpart as Yo-Motion Medals share the same QR codes.
More issues arose when the second season of Yo-kai Watch Medals were released, going by the moniker of of "Yo-Motion". The Medals didn't sell enough to warrant a Series 3 and Series 4 release to come out in North America, leaving the overall collection incomplete, and the brand to be discontinued in North America around late 2016 due to "mixed results"[1] in their sales. The artwork on the Medals were also criticised for being down-scaled to make room for the Yo-Motion circles.
By the time Series 3 and Series 4 Yo-Motion came out in France, Spain and Italy, they were produced in limited quantities to the point of the Medals themselves going for high prices on auction sites. It was unknown if a second printing happened with the sets.
At the beginning of 2018, the western version of the Yo-kai Watch Model U was released in France, Spain and Latin America only with no English-language support. While the Yo-Motion feature was upgraded, the SD Card slot was completely removed from the product. The voices were also different from in the anime or games and some of the summoning songs were exactly like the Model Zero.
Eventually, the Hasbro Yo-kai Watch brand was discontinued in summer 2018 along with Yo-kai Watch Land ending supporting at the end of the year. When Yo-kai Watch Blasters was released, the official Yo-kai Watch Twitter account confirmed that they would be giving out QR codes on their profile before their inactivity.

Trivia[]
- One of the limited edition Hasbro Medals that come with the transforming Whisper toy has a slightly different design in the Yo-kai Watch Land application, depicting him holding a glass of wine rather than doing a thumbs up gesture. This wasn't corrected in any of the updates.
