Pokémon fans across Metro Manila can step inside a 17-foot LED truck and experience Pokémon Pokopia on Nintendo Switch 2 as the Pokémon Truck begins its Philippine tour on October 2, 2026.

Pokémon Truck Tours Metro Manila

After successful tours in Malaysia and Singapore, where the Pokémon Truck welcomed more than 250,000 visitors combined, the mobile experience is now heading to Metro Manila.

The Pokémon Truck will tour from October 2, 2026, to January 24, 2027, stopping at selected malls and traveling through Parañaque, Las Piñas, Bacoor, Muntinlupa, Imus, Dasmariñas, and General Trias.

The campaign, titled “Play ‘Pokémon Pokopia’ Game with Pokémon Truck at Your Town!”, lets visitors try the new game, take photos, meet Pikachu, and enjoy Pokémon-themed activities.

Try Pokémon Pokopia on Nintendo Switch 2

The experience’s centerpiece is Pokémon Pokopia, a slow-life sandbox game built around creativity and exploration.

The custom-built Pokémon Truck features six Nintendo Switch 2 gaming stations. Four stations are dedicated to Pokémon Pokopia, while the remaining two offer a selection of other Nintendo games at featured stops.

Each gaming station includes a Nintendo Switch 2 system, a Pokémon Pokopia-themed board, and easy-to-follow instructions.

Staff members will also be available to guide visitors through the game, making the experience accessible to first-time players and longtime Pokémon fans.

Inside the truck, LED displays and sofa seating create a comfortable space where visitors can sit down, play, and explore the world of Pokémon Pokopia.

Pokémon-Themed Photo Opportunities

The experience extends beyond the gaming stations.

Visitors can explore an interactive Pokémon Pokopia photo zone and a decorative photo wall. These areas give fans opportunities to document their visit and create Pokémon-themed social media content.

The outdoor area also features activities for children and families, including a coloring corner.

Selected weekend sessions will feature Pikachu mascot appearances, giving visitors another opportunity to interact with one of the franchise’s most recognizable characters.

Take Home a Pokémon Pokopia Sun Visor
