Kung Fu Tea, the largest bubble tea chain in the United States, has launched a collaboration with Nintendo of America to mark the upcoming release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems. The partnership introduces three limited-edition drinks inspired by well-known Pokémon characters, each served in collectible, Pokémon-themed packaging designed for the promotion.

The range will be available nationwide from 1 December through to 31 January 2026 at participating Kung Fu Tea locations.

Each drink has been created to reflect a different flavour profile themed around the new game’s setting in Lumiose City. Customers purchasing any of the promotional beverages will also receive a complimentary Pokémon Legends: Z-A straw cap, subject to availability.

To support the launch, Kung Fu Tea plans to run a series of social media competitions throughout the campaign period. Prizes include a bundle featuring a Nintendo Switch 2 console, a digital download code for Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and a $100 Boba Credit redeemable via the Kung Fu Tea App. Further details will be shared across the company’s social channels.
