Lego and Pokémon Company announce long-awaited collaboration

Lego has partnered with The Pokémon Company, and official Pokémon Lego sets will be available in stores in 2026.

Lego and Nintendo have a strong partnership, bringing fans popular sets based on Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda. However, one major franchise from Lego’s collection has been missing—Pokémon. That is about to change.

Lego and The Pokémon Company have officially announced a multi-year partnership, confirming that Pokémon-themed Lego sets will finally hit the shelves in 2026.

A long-awaited collaboration

Despite its global popularity, Pokémon has never been part of Lego’s lineup—a surprising omission given its massive fan base. The announcement of this partnership marks a major moment for both companies, but details about the upcoming sets remain scarce.

While the first release has not been confirmed, Pikachu will likely be featured in the debut lineup. A teaser image from Lego hints at this possibility, but fans wonder which other Pokémon might be transformed into Lego bricks.

Will Lego face competition?

This isn’t Pokémon’s first venture into the world of buildable toys. Mattel’s Mega Bloks and Nanoblock have already produced Pokémon-themed sets, with both companies continuing to release new products. Mattel announced new Pokémon sets in 2024, and Nanoblock introduced new models just last month.

It remains unclear if Lego will gain exclusive rights to Pokémon-themed construction sets or if Mega Bloks and Nanoblock will continue to offer their own versions. What is certain, however, is that Lego will bring new competition to the Pokémon toy market, and fans will soon have another way to build their favourite pocket monsters.
