LEGO Pokémon debut with trio of sets

Pokémon fans are kicking off the New Year with what just might be the biggest LEGO blockbuster line since Super Mario.

Yes, it’s LEGO Pokémon

We might’ve just been out of the loop on this one, but we had no idea that LEGO Pokémon was coming. The toy company has been making no shortage of announcements recently, and has a lengthly history with video games at this point, but we were unaware that the Kanto region was next on its list. Nevertheless, here we are.

And hot on the heels of the latest game in the series, three new sets have indeed debuted.

“Bringing the world of Pokémon to life in LEGO bricks is both an exciting opportunity and a great responsibility. We’ve worked to combine our worlds in a way that truly celebrates the creativity, adventure, and wonder that Pokémon represents. This partnership opens up a whole new range of possibilities for Trainers and builders alike, and we can’t wait for fans to experience these new LEGO Pokémon sets.”
 
“As a lifelong Pokémon fan, it’s been an incredible honour to help bring these Pokémon to life in LEGO brick form for the first time,” said Siddharth Muthyala, Design Director on LEGO Pokémon. “Pokémon has inspired generations of fans around the world, so our team approached the design of these sets with immense care and passion, ensuring every detail and pose truly celebrates what makes these characters so beloved. I hope fans will love building them, as much as we did designing them.”

The new line follows up on the success that LEGO’s pairing with Nintendo has been to date. That includes a collection of Icons sets, as well as the plethora of LEGO Super Mario interactive building kits. As for this latest line through, it’s looking loaded. It’s also a bit celebratory, as The Pokémon Company International looks towards 30 years of catching ’em all.

If you’re a fan, then you’re going to want to see what LEGO has cooked up, as this first wave will star some of the biggest characters from the brand’s history. Eevee, Pikachu, and a massive three pack with Venusaur, Charizard ,and Blastoise are all set to roll out for some building fun.

Leading things off will be the star of the show though, Pikachu. The little electrically-charged beastie comes complete with a Poké Ball and base, in what will be a 2,050-piece set.

LEGO Pokémon Pikachu and Poké Ball

A set truly worthy of one of the most recognisable Pokémon – the LEGO® Pokémon™ Pikachu and Poké Ball. The set lets fans recreate one of the most iconic scenes from the franchise: Pikachu jumping out of the Poké Ball ready for battle. The brick-built Pikachu showcases this beloved Pokémon in a dynamic pose, leaping out from a Poké Ball.

The 2,050-piece set features a black lightning rod shaped base, with lightning energy emitting from the Poké Ball as Pikachu exits, ready for action. Key easter eggs include a “25” displayed on the base, signifying Pikachu’s Pokédex number.

Celebrating the iconic Electric-type Pokémon, fans will be able to pose the build in a dynamic battle stance launching from the opened Poké Ball, as well as in a seated pose, with a closed Poké Ball.

Next up, it’s a modern fave, with Eevee. This little Pokémon touts a few posing options, and is a much smaller build than Pikachu. Might be a nice option for those who want a little Poké-representation on their shelf, but don’t have a ton of room.

LEGO Pokémon Eevee

Celebrate Eevee’s irresistible charm with LEGO® Pokémon™ Eevee, a 587-piece set that brings the cherished Pokémon to life in dynamic detail. Eevee’s expressive face, movable tail, head and limbs allow builders to pose the fan-favourite, either at rest or ready to jump into action. With the Build Together app, this set presents fans with the ability to build together with friends and family.

At the complete other end of the spectrum from the above though, is the mighty LEGO Pokémon Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set. This looks to be a true monster of a LEGO set, clocking in at 6,838 pieces. It also features all three of the title pocket monsters in all their glory.

Once completed too, the trio can be displayed either on their base, or individually. So you’ll have a little flexibility as to how you show off your completed models.

LEGO Pokémon Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise

The truly epic LEGO® Pokémon™ Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set brings three of the most celebrated Pokémon to fans in one of the LEGO Group’s largest ever display sets. Made up of over 6,838-pieces, the set features three Kanto first partner Pokémon evolutions, for the first time, in LEGO brick form.

Each of the three figures faithfully capture the original designs with remarkable authenticity and with their own unique articulation. These Pokémon can be displayed individually or together on the action base, which hides easter-eggs for fans to discover as they build. The base features design details inspired by each of the featured Pokémon’s biomes, adding further depth to the display.

All three of the above sets are up for pre-order now, via LEGO’s online shop and the Pokémon Center. Select additional retailers will be stocking them as well, but it sounds like that’ll be after launch. It looks like fans who do reserve one or more of the sets will be in for a short turnaround too. These are set to ship next month, in February of 2026.

Gotta… find ’em all?

Along with the above reveals, there’s also a scavenger hunt for fans to dig into. Rolling right now and set to conclude on February 27th, the hunt will incorporate a swath of related “digital channels”. There, fans will have to be on the lookout for “hidden LEGO Pokémon clues”. Those will “unlock exciting rewards and the chance to win The Grand Prize”.

Wondering what that might be? Well, said Grand Prize is apparently a visit to “PokémonXP and the 2026 Pokémon World Championships in San Francisco”. That’s not all though, as said fans can alternatively win access to “Championship Sunday at the Chase Center”, or even those LEGO sets.
