The LEGO Group has made a thrilling announcement. They are launching their first official LEGO Pokémon sets. This exciting new range is a collaboration with The Pokémon Company International. Fans around the world can start building their favorite characters from February 27, 2026.
A Historic Collaboration Comes to Life
This marks a historic moment. For the first time ever, the beloved Pokémon franchise will be recreated in traditional LEGO brick form. The initial collection draws from Pokémon's rich three-decade history. It focuses on display-oriented models with poseable elements and special themed bases.
Meet the First Five Pokémon
The debut wave features five iconic characters across three separate sets. Builders will recognize these fan favorites immediately.
- Pikachu
- Eevee
- Venusaur
- Charizard
- Blastoise
Pre-orders for these sets are now live. You can place your order through LEGO.com/Pokemon and the official Pokémon Center website. General sales will begin on the launch date at LEGO.com, LEGO Stores, and the Pokémon Center.
Detailed Look at the Headline Sets
The Dynamic Pikachu and Poké Ball Display
One of the standout sets recreates a classic scene. It shows Pikachu emerging dynamically from a Poké Ball. This 2,050-piece build sits on a lightning-themed base shaped like a lightning rod.
The design includes clever energy effects around the open ball. Builders will also discover a hidden detail referencing Pikachu's Pokédex number, which is 25. You have display options too. Choose between an action pose with the ball open or a seated display with it closed.
A Massive Build Featuring Three Starters
Another major release combines three powerful Pokémon into one impressive display. The set features Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise together. With 6,838 pieces, it ranks among the largest LEGO display builds the company has ever produced.
Each character is fully articulated. You can display them separately or together on a shared, detailed base. The base incorporates themed elements inspired by each Pokémon's natural environment. The build process itself reveals even more hidden details for fans to enjoy.
