Lego to Launch Pokémon Sets in 2026

In an exciting announcement, The Lego Group and The Pokémon Company revealed they’re joining forces to release Lego Pokémon sets in 2026, part of a fresh, multi-year collaboration. While details remain largely under wraps, fans caught a teaser hinting at a Lego set centered around Pikachu. If this venture is anything like Lego’s past collaborations with Nintendo, we can likely anticipate a broad range of sets over the coming years.

This partnership promises to bring the Pokémon universe to life in a completely new way, inviting enthusiasts to recreate their favorite creatures using Lego bricks. Although they haven’t specified which Pokémon will be featured or the exact nature of the sets, a sneak-peek FAQ teases that well-loved Pokémon are likely contenders. Come 2026, Pokémon Trainers will be in for a treat, as they’ll have the opportunity to both build and capture their favorite Pokémon like never before.

Currently, Mattel’s Mega Bloks and Mega Construx offer buildable Pokémon sets, a partnership that’s been in place for over twenty years. Interestingly, Lego seems poised to take over this niche starting next year. However, Mattel did announce in 2022 that its licensing agreement with The Pokémon Company would continue, ensuring Mega Pokémon sets remain available for the foreseeable future.

Lego has dabbled in collaborations with various gaming names, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Horizon, and Overwatch. However, this latest partnership with Pokémon could be its most significant triumph yet, promising a fusion of two globally cherished brands.
