KFC has launched a massive Pokemon crossover across Singapore, transforming all 71 of its local restaurants into Pokemon Go destinations while rolling out a wide range of themed merchandise and menu items.
The limited-time campaign, titled The Ultimate Launch by KFC, runs from August 19 through September 29, 2026. Every KFC location in the region now functions as either a PokeStop or a Gym, allowing mobile players to collect in-game items and participate in battles during visits. Additionally, five specific restaurants have received physical makeovers dedicated to individual Pokemon types: KFC NEX represents Water, JEM is Fire, Kallang is Electric, Compass One is Ghost, and Jurong Point is Grass.
