Official LEGO x Pokemon Sets Coming Next Year, Will Give the Franchise a Brick Makeover

It’s official, the LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International announced a new multi-year partnership that will bring characters like Pikachu, Charizard, and more, to life, in 2026. No other details have been released, but the company did say that these new sets will allow fans to “build beloved Pokémon in LEGO brick form,” possibly even their evolutions.

Why not earlier? Well, The Pokemon Company had an existing deal with Mattel’s Mega Construx since 2017 that saw many Pokémon-themed construction sets released. This most likely prevented any earlier collaboration with LEGO due to conflicts in the toy market. The move to LEGO might indicate that the previous partnership with Mega Construx has either expired or been renegotiated, making the way for this game-changing partnership, literally.

The LEGO Group and Pokémon have strong shared values of imagination, creativity and fun, making this the perfect partnership to deliver unique, meaningful and engaging ways for Trainers to experience the Pokémon brand. Working with the best-in-class team at the LEGO Group and seeing their dedication and passion for the project has culminated in an innovative and groundbreaking collaboration that will surprise and delight fans. We cannot wait to see both LEGO fans and the Pokémon community’s reactions in 2026,” said Gaku Susai, Chief Product and Experience Officer at The Pokémon Company International.
