Intro

A new wave of Pokémon LEGO sets has reportedly leaked online, with box art for three additional releases purportedly surfacing on Reddit.

The alleged images, first shared by user General_Durian_1013 and circulated via My Nintendo News, would expand LEGO's official Pokémon range that launched earlier this year.

The initial drop included the Eevee set priced at $59.99, the Pikachu and Poké Ball set at $199.99, and a larger Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise trio set listed at $649.99.

What leaked art shows

According to the Reddit post, the three sets shown in the shared box art are titled "Charmander and Geodude's Cavern Clash," "Jigglypuff Concert," and "Cubone and Gengar's Spooky Showdown." Each image portrays recognizable Kanto-era Pokémon in diorama-style builds designed for display and play.

SMART Play compatibility

The leaked packaging indicates all three sets are compatible with LEGO's SMART Play system.

In clear, journalistic terms: the boxes state SMART Play will add sounds, lights and reactive elements to physical models, an interactive functionality LEGO introduced earlier this year with a wave of Star Wars sets.

That system connects physical builds with electronics to produce audio-visual reactions during play and display.

Context and industry relevance

The partnership between LEGO and the Pokémon brand marked one of the toy industry's most notable licensing moves of 2024.

Pokémon remains a core franchise for Nintendo and its partner developers, including Game Freak, with the series continuing to be prominent on Nintendo Switch platforms via titles such as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

The LEGO Pokémon launch reflects crossover appeal between physical collectibles and video-game fandom, and SMART Play underlines LEGO's push toward hybrid digital-physical experiences.

What’s verified

The box art leak itself is circulating online and attributed to Reddit user General_Durian_1013 via My Nintendo News.

The previously released Pokémon LEGO sets and their reported prices—Eevee ($59.99), Pikachu and Poké Ball ($199.99), and the Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise set ($649.99)—are part of LEGO's official 2024 lineup.

SMART Play compatibility was announced by LEGO earlier this year when the feature debuted on a series of Star Wars sets.

Next steps for consumers

As with any unconfirmed leak, official product pages, press releases or retailer listings from LEGO should be consulted for release dates and MSRP confirmation.

Collectors and Nintendo fans tracking Pokémon merchandise can expect official announcements via LEGO's channels and major retail partners ahead of any street date or eShop-adjacent promotional tie-ins.
