A dream come true for fans everywhere as LEGO and Pokémon are officially teaming up! Starting in 2026, this multi-year partnership will bring beloved Pokémon to life in LEGO form. Get ready to build, battle, and explore like never before!

LEGO has a long history of collaborating with iconic franchises, from blockbuster movies and TV shows to legendary video games, including Nintendo’s biggest names. But one piece of the puzzle has always been missing: Pokémon.

For years, fans have envisioned what a LEGO Charizard, a brick-built Pikachu, or even a full-scale Pokémon world might look like. Now, that vision is becoming reality. The partnership we’ve all been waiting for is finally here!

A First Look at the LEGO x Pokémon Collaboration

Both The Pokémon Company and LEGO have confirmed their multi-year alliance, with products expected to hit shelves in 2026. While the official announcement, made via Pokémon’s X account and LEGO’s website, didn’t reveal many details, we did get a teaser with Pikachu’s lightning bolt-shaped tail in LEGO form. That alone was enough for the fans.

Right now, we don’t know exactly what kind of sets are coming. Will LEGO recreate Pokémon regions, iconic Gym Battles, or legendary creatures? How big will this lineup be? The possibilities are endless, but one thing is certain—this partnership is set to be a game-changer.

This isn’t Pokémon’s first foray into brick-building toys, having previously collaborated with Mattel’s Mega Bloks and Nanoblock on themed sets. While those releases were fun, LEGO brings an entirely new level of creativity and interactivity to the table.

With LEGO’s reputation for crafting intricate, dynamic sets and Pokémon’s expansive universe of creatures, the potential is limitless. Imagine a LEGO Poké Ball that actually opens, a buildable Kanto region, or an interactive Pikachu with light-up cheeks!

The countdown to 2026 begins now, and while the wait may feel long, one thing is for sure, this collaboration is long overdue, and fans everywhere are beyond ready.
