Gotta catch 'em all! Jollibee Kids Meals now come with Pokémon collectibles
By Nancy Marie Andam
For most of us, opening a Jollibee Kids Meal has always been fun and something to look forward to. Now, it just got even more exciting. The fast-food champion turns mealtime into a mini-treasure hunt with the Pokémon Evolution Surprise. A meal includes a sealed Pokémon toy, so you will not know what you scored until you break it open. It’s essentially the fast-food’s take on blind boxes, which is a delightful blend of nostalgia and surprise.
There are 10 collectible figures to hunt, including classic Pokémon with their evolutions. You may find the lively Pichu and wish to upgrade to Pikachu, or the chill Munchlax and the legendary sleeping champion Snorlax. OG fans can check for Psyduck and Golduck, while Gen Z may want to look for Vulpix or Ninetales. Last but certainly not least are Riolu and Lucario, who lend a serious main character vibe to the toys. The toys are not just for display, either. Each toy comes with a Poké Ball or Great Ball clip so they can dangle from backpacks or add to study corners to quietly tell fellow trainers: Yes, I caught this one.
More than just a collectible, the promotion highlights what Jollibee does best: turning everyday dining into something memorable and fun for families and friends. Sharing Chicken Joy while discussing the Pokémon you got and maybe even trading duplicates adds a playful touch to the usual restaurant visit.
“Pokémon is one of the most loved franchises in the world, enjoyed by both children and adults,” said Dorothy Ching, vice president for marketing of Jollibee Philippines. “With the Pokémon Evolution Surprise, we’re bringing that excitement to families in a fun, unexpected way. Kids will love discovering which Pokémon they get, and adults can relive a bit of their childhood, making every meal a little adventure.”
The Pokémon Evolution Surprise will be available in stores until March 31, 2026, bringing a bit of unexpected fun and adventure feels to the average Kids Meal for kids and kids at heart.
