DANA App Turns Into Pokémon: How to Get Skins and Change the App Theme

If you opened the DANA app recently and noticed a colorful Pokémon-themed interface, don't worry. It's not a bug or a random app redesign.

DANA is currently running the Pokémon Skin Fest, a special program that allows users to collect Pokémon skins and use them to customize the look of the DANA app.

The program runs from September 16 to December 15, 2026, giving users several weeks to collect the available skins through in-app missions.

Why Does DANA Look Like Pokémon Now?

The Pokémon-themed experience comes through DANA's Skin Mission feature. Instead of receiving every character at once, users need to complete specific missions and quests to unlock the skins.

Once obtained, the skins can be used to customize the appearance of the DANA app.

DANA also requires users to use the latest version of the app to participate in Pokémon Skin Fest. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Which Pokémon Can You Collect?

The skins are released in stages throughout the campaign. The Pokémon lineup includes Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Psyduck, and Snorlax, along with a Legendary Pokémon skin included in the overall collection. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Because each skin follows its own schedule, they are not all available at the same time. Users need to follow the mission sequence during the campaign.

How to Get Pokémon Skins on DANA

Getting a skin is fairly straightforward. First, make sure your DANA app has been updated to the latest version.

Open DANA and look for the Skin Mission feature. Choose the currently available Pokémon mission and complete the required quests.

Once the requirements have been completed, you can claim the Pokémon skin associated with that mission.

According to DANA's official terms, skins that have been obtained become a permanent part of the user's collection. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Can You Change the DANA App Theme?

Yes. After obtaining a Pokémon skin, open the Me section from the DANA home screen and go to Settings.

Then select Skin Collection, choose the Pokémon skin you want to use, and tap Apply.

So if your DANA interface looks different from someone else's, they may simply be using a Pokémon skin from the event.

There Is Also a Wild Card

DANA has included a feature called Wild Card to help users progress through the Pokémon missions.

The Wild Card can be used once to skip a specific quest during the collection period. However, it cannot be used on every quest, so users still need to check the requirements for each mission. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

This Is Not a Pokémon GO Skin

One important clarification: these Pokémon skins are designed to customize the DANA app interface. They are not character skins for Pokémon GO or other Pokémon games.

In other words, the reward is all about making your DANA experience look different while keeping the core payment features intact.

If you also use DANA for business payments, you can check this guide about creating QRIS with DANA for another practical use of the platform.

Why Is This Kind of Feature Interesting?

Payment apps are usually focused on practical things such as transfers, bills, top-ups, and digital payments. Pokémon Skin Fest adds a more playful layer through missions and collectible customization.

Instead of opening the app only when you need to make a transaction, users now have another reason to check the app and see what mission is available next.

For Pokémon fans, the collaboration also adds a nostalgic touch. For everyone else, it is simply an optional visual customization that does not require changing the way they normally use DANA.

Final Thoughts

So, if your DANA app suddenly looks like Pokémon, there is a clear reason behind it: Pokémon Skin Fest 2026.

You can collect skins by completing Pokémon missions through the Skin Mission feature, then apply the skins from the Skin Collection menu.

The campaign runs until December 15, 2026, so there is still time to take part. Just make sure your DANA app is updated and check the currently available mission before starting your collection.
