The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International have officially announced something fans have asked for years. The first-ever LEGO Pokémon sets are real, and they are launching on February 27, 2026.
This crossover pulls inspiration from nearly 30 years of Pokémon history and turns some of the franchise’s most recognizable characters into detailed LEGO display builds. Trainers can finally catch Pokémon the old-fashioned way, brick by brick.
Pre-orders are already live through LEGO.com/Pokemon and Pokémon Center. Full retail availability begins February 27, 2026, across LEGO Stores, LEGO.com, and Pokémon Center.
Five Iconic Pokémon Lead the First Wave
The debut lineup focuses on familiar faces rather than deep cuts. LEGO and Pokémon went straight for the classics, and honestly, that’s the smart play.
The first release includes:
- Pikachu
- Eevee
- Venusaur
- Charizard
- Blastoise
Each Pokémon stays faithful to its original design while taking advantage of LEGO’s articulation and display-focused builds.
LEGO Pokémon Pikachu and Poké Ball Set
This set recreates one of Pokémon’s most recognizable moments: Pikachu bursting out of a Poké Ball, ready for battle.
- Pieces: 2,050
- Design highlight: Black lightning rod-style base
- Easter egg: A “25” on the base, referencing Pikachu’s Pokédex number
Builders can pose Pikachu in two ways. One option shows Pikachu launching forward from the open Poké Ball. The other presents a calmer seated pose with the Poké Ball closed. Both look sharp enough to anchor a display shelf.
LEGO Pokémon Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise Display Set
This is the centerpiece of the launch and one of LEGO’s largest Pokémon builds to date.
- Pieces: 6,838
- Pokémon included: Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise
- Display options: Individual or combined base
Each figure captures its original Kanto-era design with impressive accuracy. The models feature unique articulation, allowing for expressive poses without compromising stability.
The shared action base includes biome-inspired details tied to each Pokémon and hidden easter eggs sprinkled throughout the build. LEGO clearly expects this set to live on display, not disappear into a toy bin.
LEGO Pokémon Eevee Set
Eevee fans get a set that leans into personality and poseability.
- Pieces: 587
- Articulation: Movable head, tail, and limbs
- Extra feature: Build Together app support
This build focuses on expression. Eevee’s face and body allow for playful or relaxed poses, which fits the character perfectly. The Build Together app also makes this set more social, letting friends or family work on it together without stepping on each other’s instructions.
LEGO Pokémon Scavenger Hunt Event
From January 12 to February 27, LEGO and Pokémon are running a digital scavenger hunt across official LEGO and Pokémon channels.
Fans must track down hidden LEGO Pokémon clues online to unlock rewards. Those who crack the final password also get a shot at the Grand Prize, which includes:
- A PokémonXP experience
- Tickets to the 2026 Pokémon World Championships
- Championship Sunday access at the Chase Center
- All three new LEGO Pokémon sets
The first password becomes available on Pokemon.com starting January 26. Full details live on LEGO.com/Pokemon.
Pokémon Center Gift With Purchase Bonus
Pokémon Center is adding an extra incentive for early buyers.
Starting January 12, 2026, customers who pre-order the Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise set at PokémonCenter.com will receive a LEGO Pokémon Kanto Region Badge Collection as a free gift.
This promotion applies to shoppers in the US, Canada, and the UK, while supplies last.
Why This LEGO Pokémon Launch Matters
LEGO didn’t rush this collaboration. Instead of small playsets, the company focused on display-quality builds aimed at collectors and longtime fans. Pokémon, on the other hand, stayed true to its roots by leading with Generation One favorites.
The result feels intentional, not experimental. If this first wave succeeds, it opens the door for future regions, evolutions, and maybe even legendary Pokémon builds down the line.
For now, February 27, 2026, looks like a big day for fans who grew up catching Pokémon and stepping on LEGO bricks.
