Ever since LEGO first announced its multi-year partnership with The Pokémon Company, fans have been wondering how the beloved pocket monsters would stack up as official sets. Today we get a look at the first three sets debuting on February 27th.
While Pokémon is very much a kid-friendly brand, it’s also 30-years old with a massive adult fanbase, so this initial wave of sets is all branded for 18+ and priced accordingly. The smallest set, Eevee, contains 587 pieces and focuses on just the fan favorite Pokémon for $69.99. The 2050-piece Pikachu comes with a lightning bolt stand and Poké Ball for a dynamic display at $199.99. Clocking in at 6838 pieces, Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise celebrate the evolved form of the Kanto starters dramatically posed on a round base for a hefty $649.99.
During the first week of release, while supplies last, a 312-piece Kanto Region Badge Collection is included with purchase of the Kanto starters, letting fans show off their trainer mastery in brick form. While this free set looks wonderful, we’re a bit disappointed to see it locked behind such a hefty price threshold.
LEGO promises many more Pokémon sets to follow for a range of ages. As excited as we are to see this partnership come to life, the high prices of these first sets have tempered our enthusiasm. Much of Pokémon’s appeal is around collecting a broad range of monsters, and with over 1,000 to choose from in the franchise, one hopes that LEGO will make collecting accessible to kids and adults alike. What are your thoughts on the first wave of Pokémon sets? Will you be catching them all next month?

LEGO’s Press Release follows:
BILLUND, DENMARK, 12 JANUARY 2026: Today, the LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International are unveiling the first ever collection of highly anticipated LEGO® Pokémon™ sets. Based on some of the most iconic Pokémon from the brand’s 30-year history, the first LEGO Pokémon sets allow fans to build and display their favourite Pokémon in LEGO brick form when they launch on 27 February 2026.
This exciting collaboration brings together two beloved worlds, inviting fans everywhere to continue their Pokémon Trainer journey, brick by brick. The launch of the first three sets sees five fan favourite Pokémon – Pikachu, Eevee, Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise – recreated in LEGO brick form, giving builders the opportunity to bring their adventures to life, one brick at a time.
A set truly worthy of one of the most recognisable Pokémon – the LEGO® Pokémon™ Pikachu and Poké Ball. The set lets fans recreate one of the most iconic scenes from the franchise: Pikachu jumping out of the Poké Ball ready for battle. The brick-built Pikachu showcases this beloved Pokémon in a dynamic pose, leaping out from a Poké Ball.
The 2,050-piece set features a black lightning rod shaped base, with lightning energy emitting from the Poké Ball as Pikachu exits, ready for action. Key easter eggs include a “25” displayed on the base, signifying Pikachu’s Pokédex number.
Celebrating the iconic Electric-type Pokémon, fans will be able to pose the build in a dynamic battle stance launching from the opened Poké Ball, as well as in a seated pose, with a closed Poké Ball.
The truly epic LEGO® Pokémon™ Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set brings three of the most celebrated Pokémon to fans in one of the LEGO Group’s largest ever display sets. Made up of over 6,838-pieces, the set features three Kanto first partner Pokémon evolutions, for the first time, in LEGO brick form.
Each of the three figures faithfully capture the original designs with remarkable authenticity and with their own unique articulation. These Pokémon can be displayed individually or together on the action base, which hides easter-eggs for fans to discover as they build. The base features design details inspired by each of the featured Pokémon’s biomes, adding further depth to the display.
Celebrate Eevee’s irresistible charm with LEGO® Pokémon™ Eevee, a 587-piece set that brings the cherished Pokémon to life in dynamic detail. Eevee’s expressive face, movable tail, head and limbs allow builders to pose the fan-favourite, either at rest or ready to jump into action. With the Build Together app, this set presents fans with the ability to build together with friends and family.
Julia Goldin, Chief Product & Marketing Officer of the LEGO Group, said: “Bringing the world of Pokémon to life in LEGO bricks is both an exciting opportunity and a great responsibility. We’ve worked to combine our worlds in a way that truly celebrates the creativity, adventure, and wonder that Pokémon represents. This partnership opens up a whole new range of possibilities for Trainers and builders alike, and we can’t wait for fans to experience these new LEGO Pokémon sets.”
“As a lifelong Pokémon fan, it’s been an incredible honour to help bring these Pokémon to life in LEGO brick form for the first time,” said Siddharth Muthyala, Design Director on LEGO Pokémon. “Pokémon has inspired generations of fans around the world, so our team approached the design of these sets with immense care and passion, ensuring every detail and pose truly celebrates what makes these characters so beloved. I hope fans will love building them, as much as we did designing them.”
Gaku Susai, Chief Product and Experience Officer at The Pokémon Company International adds: “Pokémon has always inspired discovery and connection and partnering with the LEGO Group brings those qualities together with creativity and imagination into a new form. By combining Pokémon’s sense of adventure with the thoughtful design and attention to detail of the LEGO Group, we’re giving fans the chance to build, play, and tell their own stories in ways they’ve never experienced before – something we’re thrilled to see come to life.”
