Pokémon Pokopia Truck comes to Malaysia
We all remember running around our neighbourhoods trying to catch ‘em all with our phones in hand, and the Pokémon Go mobile game pulled up. Now picture catching Pokémon-themed trucks outside shopping malls in our neighbourhoods in Klang Valley, to play the viral Nintendo Switch 2 Pokémon Pokopia game and score freebies.
That’s what you can do between 5th March and 4th June 2026, as a Pokémon Pokopia Truck hits the roads of Malaysia.

The new title is a life simulation game where players can help build a cosy life with Pokémon, which launched on 5th March.
If you want to get a sneak peek at the new game before buying it for yourself, Pokéfans can catch the 20ft LED truck that’s been converted into an interactive gaming space equipped with four gaming stations. Each station has a Nintendo Switch 2 and bean bags, so you can play away in comfort.

There’s also a dedicated event area with special Pikachu appearances, a family-friendly colouring zone for children to colour various Pokémons, as well as a photo zone and themed photo booth for visitors at the fixed locations for the Pokémon Pokopia Truck.
Eager visitors can also grab free souvenirs, a Pikachu or Ditto DIY Sunvisor, which are distributed on a while-stocks-last basis. Those who purchase a physical copy of Pokémon Pokopia can also claim an adorable Ditto Smartphone Cleaner Keychain, which doubles as a keychain and a screen cleaner.
