The Singapore Cable Car is more than just a means of transportation from Mount Faber Peak to Sentosa Island and back. As most of us would know by now, it’s a great way to soak in some stellar views from a bird’s eye view, and even offers unique dining experiences - all making for a relaxing date.

There’s even more reason for you to book tickets for a Cable Car ride if you’re a Pokémon fan, for the cabins are getting a cute makeover featuring Pikachu and friends. There will also be themed photo spots around Faber Peak, on top of free Pokémon merchandise and ice cream that all ticket holders can redeem.

For a limited period of time starting from 1 May 2023, Singapore Cable Car will be decorating 67 of its cabins to look like Poké Balls - surely a whimsical sight to catch from above you as you’re hanging out near the Harbourfront area or Sentosa’s scenic beaches.

And just like the real thing, each “Poké Ball” will contain a Pocket Monster surprise, where the seats and flooring will be clad in decor featuring your favourite characters.

Making an appearance are beloved first gen Pokémon Eevee and Pikachu, alongside newer friends Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. Which of the 5 characters will you catch? You’ll just have to head down to try your luck, and find out once it’s your turn to board!
