LEGO Pokémon Sets Unveiled for 2026: Eevee, Pikachu, and Legendary Pokémon Lead Anniversary Launch
The LEGO Group and Pokémon Company International have officially revealed the launch of their highly anticipated LEGO Pokémon retail sets, scheduled to arrive on February 27, 2026.
The release date coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise, further cementing the enduring legacy of Nintendo's iconic series. This announcement follows the recent introduction of the Kanto Gym Badges GWP (Gift With Purchase) set and expands on the strategic partnership uniting two of the world's most popular toy and video game brands.
The LEGO Pokémon line will debut with three core retail sets: the LEGO Eevee Set, the LEGO Pikachu and Poké Ball Set, and a large-scale Venasaur, Charizard, and Blastoise Set.
Each collection brings beloved Pokémon to life as fully buildable and poseable figures, allowing fans of all ages to engage with these characters in a hands-on, creative way. The LEGO Eevee Set (product code 72151) features a detailed and articulated model of the fan-favorite evolution Pokémon.
The LEGO Pikachu and Poké Ball Set offers a buildable Pikachu figure paired with an iconic Poké Ball, ideal for collectors and newcomers alike.
The flagship set in this rollout includes robust models of Venasaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, three of the original powerhouse Pokémon that have captivated players since the franchise’s launch on the Nintendo Game Boy in 1996. "These sets are designed to capture the imagination of Pokémon Trainers and LEGO builders alike, bringing the spirit of adventure and creativity to fans around the globe," a LEGO representative explained, highlighting the collaborative effort with Pokémon Company International to accurately recreate the franchise's signature monsters. In addition to the retail sets, a special Mini Pokémon Center set will be available exclusively to LEGO Insiders, offering collectors another unique piece to add to their lineup.
This limited-access model emphasizes the companies' commitment to rewarding the most dedicated members of their community. The expansion of Pokémon-themed LEGO products demonstrates the strong ongoing partnership between the LEGO Group, Pokémon Company International, and Nintendo, whose Nintendo Switch platform continues to be a primary driver for Pokémon’s global success.
Pokémon games and related merchandise remain some of the highest-selling and most recognizable properties in entertainment, with over 480 million copies of core games sold worldwide as of 2024.
These new LEGO sets are positioned to drive further excitement across both toy and gaming ecosystems. With their launch set for the Pokémon franchise’s historic 30th anniversary on February 27, 2026, the LEGO Pokémon sets are poised to be a major draw for Nintendo fans and collectors worldwide.
As pre-release images circulate, anticipation is building for what promises to be a landmark collaboration celebrating three decades of Pokémon’s cultural impact.
