It’s a crossover fans have dreamed about for decades—and now it’s official. The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International have unveiled the first-ever LEGO Pokémon sets, bringing iconic Pokémon to life in brick-built form for the very first time. Launching globally on February 27, 2026, these highly anticipated sets let Trainers and builders alike catch, build, and display some of the most beloved Pokémon in franchise history.
Announced from Billund, Denmark, the collaboration celebrates Pokémon’s nearly 30-year legacy while blending it with LEGO’s signature creativity and craftsmanship.
A Legendary Collaboration Years in the Making
The arrival of LEGO Pokémon sets marks a milestone moment for both brands. For the first wave, LEGO is going big—literally. The debut lineup recreates five fan-favorite Pokémon using intricate LEGO brick designs:
- Pikachu
- Eevee
- Venusaur
- Charizard
- Blastoise
Each set is designed for adult builders and collectors, focusing on display-worthy detail, articulation, and Easter eggs that long-time Pokémon fans will instantly recognize.
LEGO Pokémon Pikachu and Poké Ball: An Icon Reimagined
One of the standout releases is the LEGO Pokémon Pikachu and Poké Ball set, a dramatic recreation of one of the franchise’s most iconic moments.
This 2,050-piece display set features Pikachu leaping from an opening Poké Ball, surrounded by crackling lightning energy. A black lightning-rod-inspired base anchors the build, while hidden details—such as a “25” marking Pikachu’s Pokédex number—reward careful builders.
Fans can pose Pikachu dynamically mid-battle or display it in a calmer seated pose with the Poké Ball closed, making it a versatile centerpiece for any Pokémon collection.
Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise Unite in a Massive Display Set
For collectors looking for the ultimate showpiece, the LEGO Pokémon Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise set is the crown jewel of the launch.
With an incredible 6,838 pieces, this is one of the LEGO Group’s largest display sets to date. It brings together the final evolutions of the original Kanto starters—Grass, Fire, and Water—for the first time in LEGO form.
Each Pokémon features:
- Faithful, highly detailed designs
- Individual articulation
- The option to display solo or together
The shared action base includes biome-inspired elements and hidden Easter eggs tied to each Pokémon’s environment, making it a rewarding build from start to finish.
LEGO Pokémon Eevee Brings Charm and Flexibility
Rounding out the launch lineup is LEGO Pokémon Eevee, a 587-piece set that captures the fan-favorite Pokémon’s playful personality.
With a movable head, tail, and limbs, Eevee can be posed at rest or ready for action. The set also supports LEGO’s Build Together experience, allowing friends and families to collaborate on the build digitally—perfect for casual builders or Pokémon fans new to LEGO.
Developers Share Their Passion for Pokémon in LEGO Form
Julia Goldin, Chief Product & Marketing Officer of the LEGO Group, emphasized the responsibility behind the partnership:
“Bringing the world of Pokémon to life in LEGO bricks is both an exciting opportunity and a great responsibility. We’ve worked to celebrate the creativity, adventure, and wonder that Pokémon represents.”
LEGO Pokémon Design Director Siddharth Muthyala added that the project was deeply personal for the team, many of whom grew up with Pokémon, while Gaku Susai of The Pokémon Company International highlighted the shared focus on imagination, storytelling, and discovery.
Scavenger Hunt Event Celebrates the LEGO Pokémon Launch
To mark the collaboration, LEGO is hosting a global LEGO Pokémon Scavenger Hunt from January 12 to February 27, 2026.
