LEGO and Pokémon Join Forces for an Epic Collaboration
Pokémon fans, get ready—because the world of Pokémon is about to be built brick by brick! The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International have officially announced a multi-year partnership, bringing LEGO® Pokémon™ sets to fans starting in 2026.
This long-anticipated collaboration promises to combine the boundless creativity of LEGO building with the adventure and charm of the Pokémon universe. While details on specific sets remain under wraps, the announcement confirms that fans will finally be able to build and collect their favorite Pokémon in LEGO form.
LEGO Pokémon: Fan Speculation on Upcoming Sets
Following the official announcement of LEGO Pokémon, excitement is at an all-time high. Fans on Reddit are speculating about which iconic Pokémon and set designs will make their way into brick form. Many believe LEGO will start with classic starters like Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, possibly in buildable figure or BrickHeadz formats. Others are hoping for detailed LEGO diorama-style sets, recreating famous locations from the Pokémon world, such as Pallet Town or a Pokémon Center.
There's also debate on whether the partnership will lead to larger LEGO Pokemon playsets or stick to smaller collector-focused models, like LEGO Pokemon Brickheadz. With LEGO's history of gamified sets, some are even wondering if an interactive Pokémon battle feature could be included. While nothing beyond the initial teaser is confirmed, one thing is certain—fans are eager to see how LEGO brings the world of Pokémon to life!
