Dates: 4 Nov 2026 to 3 Jan 2027 · daily 12pm to 9pm (Experience Lounge, T3); PokéXciting! parade weekend 7–8 Nov 2026
Pokémon is 30 this year, and its Asia tour, PokéXciting!, lands at Changi Airport and Jewel on 7 and 8 November 2026. It’s free and open to everyone, not just flyers. The parade weekend is the headline, but a free Experience Lounge at Terminal 3 runs until 3 January 2027, so there are two different visits to plan.

Why go?
The parade brings all 27 first partner Pokémon, from all nine game generations, onto one stage at Jewel’s Forest Valley, which The Pokémon Company calls the highlight of the tour.
Singapore gets its own PokéXciting! Pikachu in a blue costume, which appears at the stage shows, in Pokémon GO and on limited merchandise at Pokémon Center SINGAPORE from 7 November.
Beyond the weekend, the T3 lounge has free Pokémon Pokopia and Pokémon Champions demos, Trading Card Game tutorials and battles on selected Saturdays, and Jewel has a TCG quiz rally.
What to do
01 · Parade weekend: 7 and 8 November
Expect the parade at Jewel’s Forest Valley, PokéXciting! Pikachu stage shows at the Terminal 3 departure hall, meet-and-greet photo sessions, and ‘POKÉGENIC’ photo spots hidden around both venues. The organiser hasn’t published parade times yet, so check its site the week before. Charge your phone too, because PokéXciting! Pikachu is also scheduled to appear in Pokémon GO.
02 · The Experience Lounge at Terminal 3 (4 Nov 2026 to 3 Jan 2027)
The lounge is on Public Level 2 near check-in row 11 and opens daily from 12pm to 9pm. It’s free, but you reserve a slot through Playpass in the Changi App. Trial-play and TCG tutorial slots open up to seven days ahead, and tournament and TCG battle slots were released from 23 October. Each pass covers one person and one activity, so book a slot for each family member.
03 · The shopping promotion and the Jewel quiz rally
From 3 November, a qualifying receipt at participating outlets lets you buy or redeem exclusive Pokémon merchandise. That includes cabin and check-in luggage at Changi Airport, an umbrella at Jewel, and plushies, a thermal bottle and a travel blanket at both. The campaign runs until 31 January 2027 at Jewel and 28 February 2027 at the airport. At Jewel, the TCG Quiz Rally has giant card displays and a prize for finishing.
