Pokémon Trainers now have another reason to make a KFC run.
KFC x Pokémon Singapore is running from 19 August to 29 September 2026, combining a seasonal Japanese-inspired menu with Pokémon collectibles, themed restaurants, Pokémon GO activities and beginner-friendly Pokémon Trading Card Game sessions.
Five KFC outlets have also been transformed around different Pokémon types, while fans can look forward to merchandise drops ranging from reversible character pouches to a giant Poké Ball Bucket and a limited Charizard evolution jacket.
Here’s what Pokémon fans in Singapore can check out during the campaign.
Five KFC Outlets Have Pokémon-Type Makeovers
Five selected restaurants have received Pokémon-themed decorations and photo spots, with each location representing a different Pokémon type:
- Water — KFC NEX
- Fire — KFC JEM
- Electric — KFC Kallang
- Ghost — KFC Compass One
- Grass — KFC Jurong Point
Fans can look out for Pokémon-themed decor and decals including Mega Raichu X, Mega Raichu Y, Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y.

The first merchandise drop starts from 19 August 2026.
Fans can purchase a Pokémon Reversible Everyday Blind Pouch for $14.95 with each purchase of a Japanese Nanban Zinger or Chicken Bites Box.
Each pouch initially resembles a Poké Ball before turning inside out to reveal one of four characters:

The blind pouches are available for dine-in and takeaway at KFC outlets except Singapore Zoo and Sentosa, while stocks last.

One of the larger collectibles is a Poké Ball Bucket measuring approximately 23cm in diameter.
From 9 September 2026, customers can purchase it for $12.95 with each 5-piece Chicken Bucket.

The Poké Ball Bucket will be available at KFC outlets except Singapore Zoo and Sentosa, while stocks last.
Pikachu And Gengar Gaming Chopsticks At $15.95

Pro Tip
If you’re mainly after a particular collectible, check its launch date and purchase requirement before heading down, as the merchandise is being released in stages and several items are available only while stocks last.
Fans planning to visit the themed stores can also combine their trip with the Pokémon GO activation, as NEX, JEM, Kallang, Compass One and Jurong Point are among the five specially decorated locations.
