| colspan="3" style="text-align:left" |'''Description:''' This playset is based on a Pokemon Center and to the right a Pokemon Mall. The Pokemon Center roof hinges open to reveal an image of the three legendary birds and Arcanine (much like the one seen in''[[Ep02|Pokemon Emergency!]]''),  a reception and attached nurse’s station as well as an operating theatre. The Pokemon Mall to the right is a three tiered building (two shopping floors and one roof deck complete with tables and snack machines). And to the left of the Pokemon Center is a tree with swing; Farfetch’d is th only figure that can sit on the piece that moves the swing. And a river with a red boat causes a Magikarp to jump out of the water, a pedestrian bridge to separate and a trio of Diglett to emerge from the ground. Like the Deluxe Type A, the Type C has the capacity to connect to two of the regular playsets. This is the only Deluxe set not based on the events or setting of either a Pokemon Movie or Short.

It is foldable, much like the regular Pokemon Mate sets, and includes a convenient handle to carry. The elevator shaft attaches to the right of the set via pins, it has a wind up wheel which moves the platform. A window washer platform connects with two holes on the left side of the set. Next is the clock tower, with movable hands and weather vane. The blue slide connects to the clock tower. The building next to the clock tower features a rooftop deck, an events room celebrating Pikachu and Ash’s first anniversary, and on the ground level a bus depot. The Hitmontop figure has a small knob on top of its "horn," which fits into a hole. Hitmontop can spin upside down, and cause the grey pipes to rise and fall, like a seesaw. A black tyre and pin staircase are also included.
