Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary Blowout Drops This November

Trainers, get your Poké Balls ready. The Pokémon Company just dropped a massive announcement: Singapore is turning into a full-blown Pokémon haven this November as part of their global 30th-anniversary bash.

Collaborating with Changi Airport, Jewel, and The Kallang, the island is hosting a massive, weekend-long takeover on 7–8 November 2026. From a grand 27-starter parade to a high-energy fun run, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming Poké-frenzy.

1. Pokémon RUN 30: The Kallang’s Ultimate Trainer Trail

Making its long-awaited return to Singapore, Pokémon RUN 30 lands at The Kallang for a two-day interactive adventure. Pick your starter Pokémon and tackle themed challenges, complete Pokédex search sheets, encounter wild Pokémon, and even “evolve” your partner along the way.

2. A Blue PokéXciting! Pikachu Debut & Jewel Parade

Singapore is one of five Asian hubs selected for PokéXciting!, a regional party celebrating three decades since Pokémon Red and Green debuted in 1996. For the first time ever, all 27 First Partner Pokémon from across 9 generations will march together at the Jewel Forest Valley.

Meet the exclusive PokéXciting! Pikachu, debuting in Singapore wearing a distinct blue outfit. Head to Changi Airport Terminal 3 to play on the new Nintendo Switch 2, drop by the Pokémon TCG trial-play sessions, or join the TCG Quiz Rally across Jewel.

3. Year-End Shopping & Limited-Edition Merch

Running from 3 November 2026 into early 2027, qualifying spends at Changi Airport and Jewel let you redeem exclusive merchandise, such as, cabin-sized and check-in luggages (Changi Exclusive), waterproof-sleeve umbrellas (Jewel Exclusive), as well as, plushies, thermal bottles, and travel blankets (available at both locations).

4. Pokémon GO: Regional Stamp Rally

Mobile Trainers aren’t left out. On 7–8 November, in-game event features in Singapore will offer special Timed Research and the chance to catch the event-exclusive Blue PokéXciting! Pikachu.

Heading overseas? The Cross-Region GO Stamp Rally kicks off on 12 September 2026. Visit official PokéXciting! PokéStops across Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Manila, Bangkok, and Singapore to collect regional stamps and catch city-specific Pikachu with unique location backgrounds.
