The Pokémon parade is over, but Jewel's giant Pikachu and Snorlax stay until 31 January

The 27 starters have marched; the 3-metre Pikachu is staying for the school holidays.

If you missed the Pokémon parade at Jewel, you didn't miss the whole thing. The march of all 27 first-partner Pokémon through Forest Valley ran on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November, and Jewel's own page now marks the wristbands for both the 3pm and 6pm sessions as fully redeemed. What stays is the part you can do on a weekday with no queue: the PokéXciting displays around Jewel Changi Airport, free, until Sunday 31 January 2027.

There are four themed zones in Forest Valley on Level 1, built around Eevee and its evolutions, Mewtwo, Snorlax and Pikachu. The Snorlax Zone puts it alongside the starters from Unova, Galar and Paldea, Charmander's footprints lead to a wall of Charizard's wings, and the centrepiece is a Pikachu 3 metres tall. Changi Airport lists the display spots, including East Canyon near Lobby H and Forest Valley near the North Canyon, as open from 10am to 11pm, and they are in Jewel's public areas, so you don't pay anything. Smaller Pokégenic photo spots are hidden across Levels 1 and 2.

The second trail is the Pokémon Trading Card Game one: oversized card displays of all 27 first-partner Pokémon from Basement 1 up to Level 5, until Sunday 3 January 2027. Answer the quiz from the cards and you can swap your card for a Pokémon 30th anniversary postcard at the redemption counter in the B1 atrium, between Birkenstock and ZARA, from 11am to 10pm daily (last redemption 9.30pm), first come first served. Jewel says quiz cards and postcards were not available on 8 and 9 November, so start it from Tuesday.

Why it matters: the parade was the bit that made the news, but the displays are the bit most people will actually see, and they now run across the whole of the December school holidays. For a family with a Pokémon fan, it is a free morning that pairs with the Canopy Park or just the Rain Vortex.

Our advice: go on a weekday morning, start with the card trail at B1 so the postcard is in hand early, then walk up to the Pikachu by the waterfall before lunch. Weekends will be busier, so a school-holiday weekday is the time. Changi Airport MRT is the nearest station.
