The partnership between LEGO and The Pokémon Company continues to captivate fans, with the recent unveiling of the LEGO Pokémon Eevee set sparking excitement across both fandoms.
Debuting as part of a broader collection that features beloved creatures from the Nintendo franchise—including Pikachu, Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise—the Eevee model doesn’t just deliver on cuteness; it also conceals creative tributes to Pokémon lore right within its construction. Social media influencer "bricksbymind" showcased these references in a detailed TikTok video, pointing out remarkable hidden elements designed by LEGO.
According to the video, enthusiasts who carefully deconstruct the Eevee’s tail will discover colored bricks in blue, yellow, and orange, alluding to Eevee’s iconic Generation 1 evolutions: Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon.
The thoughtful details don’t end there.
Located behind Eevee’s face are eight uniquely colored tiles, each corresponding to one of Eevee's evolutionary forms—Vaporeon (blue), Jolteon (yellow), Flareon (orange), as well as later generations: Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon.
This design gives LEGO and Pokémon fans alike an extra incentive to explore every facet of the set. The LEGO Pokémon Eevee set is part of a larger wave of collaborative releases between LEGO and The Pokémon Company, announced last month.
Sets include Pikachu and Poké Ball ($199.99), the highly anticipated trio Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise ($649.99), and of course, Eevee itself, which retails at $59.99.
All sets are slated to officially launch on February 27th, in a fitting nod to Pokémon Day, and are now available for pre-order through the LEGO Store. This expansive offering reflects both companies’ influential legacy in the collectibles market and underscores Nintendo’s ongoing strategy to extend cherished intellectual properties beyond the Nintendo Switch and traditional gaming platforms.
The meticulous attention to detail, such as the hidden evolutionary references within the Eevee LEGO set, highlights the commitment to authenticity and fan engagement that have become hallmarks of both the LEGO and Pokémon brands.
The collaboration further solidifies the position of LEGO Pokémon among the most anticipated releases in the licensed collectibles space this season. For collectors, builders, and long-time fans of the franchise, the LEGO Pokémon Eevee set and its creative Easter eggs represent a nostalgic yet innovative addition to the growing library of Nintendo and Pokémon-themed merchandise.
With a clear release date and pre-orders already live, the excitement around these sets is only set to grow as February approaches.
