Pokémon just announced its first LEGO set. Here are the details.
Yes, you read that title correctly. Pokémon is releasing a LEGO set in 2026, which has excited fans immensely. While we do know very little, this leaves a blank page open for a plethora of possibilities involving the collaboration.
Here is what we know at the moment about the Pokémon x LEGO collaboration.
Pokémon x LEGO: What will the set consist of?
At the moment, very little is known about what the Pokémon LEGO set will consist of, or whether or not there will be multiple different sets.
Pokémon posted a teaser on Twitter earlier today (March 18, 2025) to announce the release, but all it showed us was the LEGO logo and a LEGO version of Pikachu's tail, as electric sparks ignite around it.
So, does this mean the set will revolve around Pikachu? More than likely. However, this does not mean that the set will only consist of Pikachu. LEGO is notorious for including quite a bit in their sets, meaning we could easily see other Pokémon involved or maybe even Ash Ketchum.
This also does not mean that a Pikachu set is the only set that could be included.
Other possible Pokémon LEGO sets
If Pikachu is getting its own set, it is completely reasonable to assume other Pokémon may be getting one too. The possibilities are endless (well, up to 1,025 different sets at least, considering that's how many Pokémon there are).
More than likely, however, if we do get a few more Pokémon included in the set, we will see the three original starters: Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur.
I can already imagine everyone trying to collect all the starters, including Pikachu.
Would this be the only Pokémon LEGO set that ever releases? Probably not, as a franchise as big as Pokémon would surely sell millions of units, especially with it being the official LEGO brand. It's only assumed that this will be the start of a very big collaboration.
