Pokémon takes over Suntec City with meet-&-greets, interactive quests & game trials till Dec. 28

If you’re still looking for where to soak in the year-end festive vibes, Suntec City is about to make that decision very easy — especially if you’re a Pokémon fan.

From now till Dec. 28, the mall will transform into a full-on Pokémon-themed wonderland packed with digital quests, dance performances, adorable meet-and-greets, and more festive sparkle than a Pikachu thunderbolt.

Explore like a Trainer, meet Pikachu and friends in real life

Step inside the Explore Like A Trainer Holiday Cabin at the Atrium (Tower 1 and 2), where an immersive digital world awaits visitors.

Race against time to uncover Pokémon like Pikachu, Eevee and Snorlax hidden in the lifelike snowy landscape around you.

Entrance is free for Suntec+ App members.

Each session lasts eight minutes, with no age limit, so everyone can join in the fun.

On select days, you can join in the Dance Parade by Pikachu and friends, a spirited holiday performance of joyful tunes and choreography. Be sure to grab your friends, camera, and put on your best dance moves!

What’s more, the Dance Patio at the Atrium will come to life with meet-and-greet sessions featuring a rotating line-up of Pokémon such as Pikachu, Eevee, Snorlax and more!

Beyond show days, capture playful moments with the giant inflatable Tepig, Chikorita, Totodile, and Poké Balls — for that picture-perfect Pokémon experience.

Train, trade and play your way through the Pokémon universe

If you’ve ever wanted to get into the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this is your chance.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Zone at the Atrium will host the New Trainer Journey, a hands-on session for beginners.

New players will be issued physical tickets to a 30-minute training session (limited timeslots on Nov. 8, 9, 15, 16, and daily from Nov. 22 onwards).

Upon completion, each player will receive a starter kit with a deck case, deck shield, demo deck, playmat flyer and a Voucher.

To level up the fun, visitors will also get the opportunity to step into an all-new battle experience within the world of Pokémon Legends: Z-A on the Nintendo Switch 2 from now till Dec. 28.

Be among the first in Singapore to discover the thrill of the next generation of Pokémon adventures through immersive gameplay trials — completely free for all.

Catch the action as the mall will also double as a Pokémon GO playground with Event PokéStops, Gyms, and exciting Timed Research quests to uncover.

Win prizes and redeem festive Pokémon merch

From now to Dec. 25, Suntec City will run the “Who’s That Pokémon: 50 Days of Winners” contest.

All you need to do is solve daily puzzles which will be unveiled on the Advent Christmas Tree at the Atrium and send in your answers via Suntec City’s Instagram page for a chance to score a Pokémon Trading Card Game Fun Pack and a S$30 Suntec City e-Voucher.

And if you’re shopping, the rewards keep coming.

Venture beyond the Atrium for the six-metre-tall Pikachu inflatable near the Esplanade MRT entrance — it’s impossible to miss, and equally impossible not to snap a photo with.

There’s also the 12-metre Christmas tree and snowfall show at Suntec Plaza, plus two AR photo zones with festive filters at Level 1 and Level 2 to keep the festive vibes going strong.

Whether you’re chasing Pokémon, hunting for photo ops, or just soaking in the lights and snow, Suntec City is shaping up to be that place to celebrate the 2025 festive season.
