Forget Pallet Town. Your trainer journey starts at the nearest KFC, and it moves fast. From 19 August, all 71 KFC outlets across Singapore turn into Pokémon GO PokéStops and Gyms, five restaurants get a full type-themed transformation, and a fresh Japanese Nanban menu drops alongside a merchandise line-up built for collectors. The timing is no accident: Pokémon turns thirty this year and Pokémon GO turns ten, so KFC is throwing its own party inside the franchise’s biggest anniversary yet.
Pick your gym: five KFC outlets, five Pokémon types
Every serious trainer needs a route, and KFC has designed one for you.
- Water — KFC NEX, directly connected to Serangoon MRT.
- Fire — KFC JEM, directly connected to Jurong East MRT.
- Electric — KFC Kallang, a short walk from Stadium MRT.
- Ghost — KFC Compass One, built into the Sengkang MRT and LRT interchange.
- Grass — KFC Jurong Point, a short walk from Boon Lay MRT.
The merch you actually want to catch
This is where trainers earn bragging rights. From 19 August, a Pokémon Reversible Everyday Blind Pouch ($14.95, in Pikachu, Eevee, Mew or Snorlax) comes with any Nanban Zinger or Chicken Bites Box purchased.

Come 9 September, the real haul drops. The Poké Ball Bucket is the sleeper hit here: $12.95 with a 5pc Chicken Bucket, and sturdy enough to become a fun picnic carrier. hen there is the jacket everyone will want a photo in: the limited-stock Pokémon Evolution Jacket, Charizard’s full evolution line printed across the back, priced at $99 and capped at one per person.
Driving between outlets? Grab the Pikachu Car Neck Pillow too, a set of two for $32.95, sold exclusively at drive-thru stores.
Don’t let greasy fingers ruin your catch streak! Level up your grind with the limited-edition Gaming Chopsticks, available in iconic Pikachu and Gengar designs. Whether you’re mid-raid battle or frantically swiping PokéStops, keep your controllers, screens, and fingers completely clean while snacking. Grab yours for just $15.95, available exclusively on delivery orders via the KFC Delivery App, GrabFood, and foodpanda. Catch yours before they’re gone!
Japanese Nanban Zinger & Bites
Every trainer needs fuel, and KFC is not phoning it in. The new Japanese Nanban Zinger ($7.50) brings a crispy, spicy chicken thigh fillet brushed in a sweet-tangy Nanban glaze, layered with shredded cabbage and a chunky Japanese-style tartar sauce in a toasted brioche bun. The Japanese Nanban Chicken Bites ($6.90) deliver the same glaze in a snackable format, while Loaded Fries and Sweet Potato Mochi Balls round out the set. It is only available until 29 September.
Turn every KFC run into a Pokémon GO stop
You do not need a themed outlet to play along. All 71 KFC restaurants in Singapore become PokéStops and Gyms for the full six weeks, so even your regular order doubles as a chance to spin for items or defend a Gym for Instinct, Mystic or Valor.
New to the TCG? KFC has you covered
Over 200 free Pokémon Trading Card Game tutorials run at NEX, Kallang, Jurong Point, Compass One and JEM on 12, 13, 18, 19 and 20 September, in thirty-minute slots. Finish one and walk away with a playmat, a reward voucher and a sixty-card battle deck. Sign-ups are free on KFC’s website, first-come, first-served. Pikachu also makes a personal appearance on 29 August at Kallang, SCAPE and Jurong Point.
