Lego Pokémon First Sets Coming Out in 2026: Here's What Fans Can Expect

Pokémon fans around the world are in for a major treat next year as The Lego Group has joined hands with The Pokémon Company for a special project -- Lego Pokémon.

As part of the "new multi-year partnership,” the Lego Pokémon sets will come out in 2026, the companies announced on Tuesday, Polygon reported.

What to expect?

In the official website of Lego, there is a specific landing page for Pokemon. This confirms the leaked teaser that featured a Lego Pikachu tail earlier. The first Lego Pokemon sets are now scheduled to be out in 2026.


The brief teaser points towards the Lego set based on Pikachu, but there are chances that multiple sets will be released in the years to come.

Pokémon fans worldwide have always had the dream of training their favourite Pokémon, read Lego's official statement, adding that the latest partnership will bring the "world of Pokémon to life in entirely new ways, allowing fans to build beloved Pokémon in LEGO brick form."

As of now, no major updates have been given about the types of Pokémon and style of sets that players can expect from the upcoming series.

World of Pokémon brought to life

"Get ready to electrify your imagination in 2026," read a post on the official X handle for Pokémon, along with the hashtag, '#LEGOPokemon'.

Julia Goldin, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at LEGO Group, said the latest partnership will create a wide range of new possibilities for both Trainers and builders. Goldin said they were thrilled to work with a brand that has "such a deep and passionate fanbase as Pokémon".

On behalf of The Pokémon Company International, its Chief Product and Experience Officer Gaku Susai said that their "perfect partnership" will deliver "unique, meaningful and engaging ways" in which the Trainers get to experience the Pokémon brand.

Pokémon toys

Under its partnership with Mattel’s Mega Bloks and Mega Construx lines, the brand already has a series of buildable Pokémon toy sets. Mattel, which announced in 2022 to have renewed its license to make Mega building sets, has been behind the Mega Pokémon sets for over 20 years, reports said.

According to The Verge, it remains unclear whether Mattel will continue to offer the sets or Lego will be provided exclusive rights to make the Pokémon building sets starting from 2026.

The latest announcement comes after Lego said in January this year that the company will be releasing a buildable version of Nintendo’s Game Boy handheld in October 2025. This was the same console where Pokémon-related games marked their debut in 1996.
