What Is It?

Released in December 1997, the Mothra Tamagotchi is an official tie-in with Toho’s famous kaiju. Your creature hatches as a larva and grows into super-powered forms — including Rainbow Mothra — depending on how you care for it. Famously, Godzilla is a hidden character. It shares programming with Genjintchi.


Key Features

  • Larva-to-Mothra evolution shaped by your care.
  • Godzilla as a secret character.
  • A genuine crossover collectible.

Is It Worth Getting Today?

A grail for kaiju and Tamagotchi fans alike. The Mothra tie-in is one of the most sought-after vintage devices, and the Godzilla Easter egg only adds to its appeal. Expect rarity and a collector premium.
