What to expect from LEGO Pokémon
LEGO has a strong history of adapting popular gaming franchises into brick-built experiences, including Nintendo’s Super Mario, SEGA’s Sonic the Hedgehog, and Epic Games’ Fortnite. Now, Pokémon joins this elite lineup.
Until now, Pokémon building sets were limited to brands like Mattel’s MEGA and Japan’s Nanoblock series. MEGA offered detailed Pokémon models with moving parts, but LEGO’s entry into the Pokémon universe raises the bar. Fans can expect interactive sets, possible Pokéball replicas, and immersive battle arenas designed for both kids and adult collectors.

With the first sets expected in 2026, fans have plenty of time to speculate on which Pokémon will get the LEGO treatment. Whether it’s a detailed Pikachu model, an iconic Pokémon Center, or even a full-scale Pokédex, one thing is certain—trainers and builders alike are in for an unforgettable adventure.
