LEGO and Pokémon's Huge Collaboration Revealed for 2026

The gaming and toy worlds just collided in the biggest way possibleLEGO and Pokémon are officially teaming up!

After years of fan speculation, countless custom builds, and third-party Pokémon brick sets, it’s finally happening: LEGO Pokémon is real, and it’s coming in 2026.

The announcement came via a LEGO teaser video featuring an electric charge and a LEGO-built Pikachu tail wagging in the air. If that wasn’t confirmation enough, both the official LEGO and Pokémon Twitter (X) accounts shared the teaser, making it official.

So, what does this mean for fans? What could LEGO Pokémon sets look like? And why did it take so long for this dream collaboration to happen? Let’s break it all down.

LEGO Pokémon Sets Are Coming – Here’s What to Expect

LEGO Pokémon: A Match Made in Gaming Heaven

For years, Pokémon fans have been desperate for LEGO sets featuring their favorite Pokémon, regions, and characters. While LEGO has collaborated with Nintendo (Super Mario, Animal Crossing), Sega (Sonic), and even Minecraft, Pokémon was noticeably absent—until now.

In the past, Pokémon had licensing agreements with other brick-building companies, like Mega Construx, which released sets featuring Poké Balls, Charizard, and Pikachu figures. But now that those contracts seem to have expired, LEGO is finally stepping in.

The potential for LEGO Pokémon is HUGE, and here’s what fans could see:

Possible LEGO Pokémon Sets

🔥 Pokémon Brick-Built Figures – Imagine LEGO Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, or Eevee in detailed brick form!
🌎 Pokémon Regions & Towns – Think LEGO Pallet Town, Cerulean City, or even Pokémon Centers and Gyms.
🏟 Pokémon Stadiums – Imagine a LEGO battle arena with trainers and Pokémon figures!
💳 LEGO Pokémon Trading Cards? – A potential LEGO Pokémon crossover with the TCG could be a collector’s dream.

The possibilities are endless, and with Pokémon’s rich history spanning 25+ years, LEGO could create multiple waves of sets featuring different generations, regions, and trainers.

Why Hasn't This Happened Sooner?

Considering that Pokémon and LEGO are two of the biggest toy brands in the world, it’s surprising that this collaboration took so long.

There are a few possible reasons why:

🧱 Existing Licensing Agreements – Pokémon previously had a contract with Mega Construx, preventing LEGO from making official sets.
💰 Massive Demand, Big Expectations – If LEGO and Pokémon were going to collaborate, they needed to get it right and plan for huge global demand.
🎮 Pokémon’s Gaming Focus – The Pokémon Company may have been prioritizing game-related merch over brick-building toys—until now.

Now that the deal is official, fans are wondering what took so long—but the important thing is that it’s finally happening!

Will LEGO Pokémon Be Hard to Find?

There’s one concern with this massive LEGO Pokémon launchavailability.

When LEGO released Super Mario, Zelda, and Sonic sets, demand was insane. Pokémon, being one of the biggest franchises in the world, could cause scalping and shortages at launch.

🔹 Expect high demand for starter sets featuring Pikachu, Charizard, and Bulbasaur.
🔹 Exclusive collector’s editions (like a giant LEGO Pokémon Stadium) could be hard to find.
🔹 Pokémon TCG crossover sets (if they happen) could be hot items for resellers.

That said, LEGO has improved production for high-demand sets, and Pokémon’s global reach means millions of units will likely be produced.

If you want to get your hands on LEGO Pokémon sets, keep an eye on:

When Will LEGO Pokémon Be Released?

So far, LEGO has only revealed that LEGO Pokémon will launch in 2026.

However, if LEGO follows past trends, we can expect:

🚀 First teaser sets in late 2025
🎉 Big launch wave in early 2026
🛠 Expansions & new sets throughout 2026-2027

Given Pokémon’s rich history, LEGO could release multiple waves of sets over several years, similar to LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Super Mario.

Is LEGO Pokémon the Ultimate Collab?

This is HUGE news for both Pokémon and LEGO fans.

With LEGO’s legendary design quality and Pokémon’s massive fanbase, this long-awaited collaboration has unlimited potential. Whether you want brick-built Pokémon figures, iconic locations, or even a TCG crossover, this could be one of LEGO’s most successful partnerships ever.

Now, the only real question is:
