After temporarily closing in April 2026 for a refresh, Pokémon Center Singapore at Jewel Changi Airport is finally making its much-anticipated comeback on 1st July 2026!
Fans can expect a brand new look and exclusive Singapore-themed merchandise you won’t find anywhere else. So if you’ve been counting down the days to purchasing merch and collecting Pokémon cards again, your pilgrimage plans can officially resume.
The refreshed store and exclusive merch will feature Singapore icons.

Let’s get the nitty-gritty details out of the way first. The store will officially reopen on 1st July 2026, on a Wednesday. But before you apply for annual leave, take note that entry to the store will be restricted during its first 5 days of reopening, from 1st-5th July 2026.
To manage crowds, admission will be split into 2 methods: Store Visit Application and Same-day Queue Entry Tickets.

If you’d rather secure your spot and avoid camping outside Jewel at ungodly hours, you’ll want to try your luck with the advance Store Visit Application. Each successful applicant can bring 1 guest, meaning a maximum of 2 people per entry.
To apply, head to the official Store Visit Application website, enter your phone number, and select your preferred visit date between 1st and 5th July. You’ll then be asked to choose 3 preferred time slots before confirming your registration.
Applications close on 2nd June 2026, with results announced from 4th June 2026. Successful applicants can enter the store between 10am and 1pm.

Didn’t get selected? You can still see whether Lady Luck is on your side by heading down to the store for general admission. Same-day queue tickets will be distributed on-site from 8.30am, while slots last, and entry will be from 1pm onwards.

The first thing you’ll notice at the entrance is a Solgaleo display, standing proudly like the guardian of your soon-to-be emptied wallet, while an adorable Pikachu figure flanks it.

The refreshed facade also comes with an updated logo, and there’s a reason for that – Solgaleo is now the new symbol of the store.
Pokémon Center Singapore has also revealed that it’s a “Singapore-inspired store”, so keep your eyes peeled for local touches sprinkled throughout the space.

To celebrate its grand reopening, there’ll be a range of Singapore-themed merchandise. The 1st drop will feature 12 exclusive items available on reopening day, including a Pikachu holding a durian, a traditional kopi cup with Pokémon motifs, and keychains decorated with Peranakan tile-inspired designs.
And that’s just the beginning. A 2nd collection is set to launch in August, featuring even more locally inspired collectibles.
Purchase limits may apply – we suggest checking Pokémon Center Singapore’s Instagram page for the latest updates.
With admission restrictions potentially continuing beyond the first 5 days, depending on crowd conditions, don’t expect to just stroll in on a whim. If anything, the system is designed to manage the inevitable rush of eager fans, so planning ahead isn’t just recommended but essential.
