LEGO Pokémon teased ahead of Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary in 2026
Next year, the Pokémon series will celebrate its 30th Anniversary. And to mark the occasion, The Pokémon Company has just announced a multi-year partnership with LEGO that will see the release of several LEGO sets inspired by the world-famous monster catching franchise.
Here’s a teaser trailer:
What to expect for LEGO Pokémon? Well, the press release mentions that “the most loved Pokémon” will be brought “to life in a brand new way, with play experiences that will delight new and existing fans alike”.
Unfortunately, it looks like we will have to wait before finding out which Pokémon will get their own LEGO sets (other than Pikachu, that is)!
Here’s the full press release from The Pokémon Company:
Today, the LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International announced a new multi-year partnership that will bring LEGO® PokémonTM to fans for the first time from 2026.
Since the debut of the Pokémon franchise, fans have dreamed of becoming Pokémon Trainers, and now they can take that experience even further… one brick at a time. This new partnership will bring the world of Pokémon to life in entirely new ways, allowing fans to build beloved Pokémon in LEGO brick form.
Julia Goldin, Chief Product & Marketing Officer of the LEGO Group, said: “We are thrilled to be working with a brand that has such a deep and passionate fanbase as Pokémon, partnering to give our joint audiences what they have been asking us for. We strongly believe that through the endless possibilities of LEGO play and the exciting adventures the world of Pokémon brings, this partnership will create a range of new possibilities for Trainers and builders alike.”
Gaku Susai, Chief Product and Experience Officer at The Pokémon Company International added: “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.”
The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International both have a long history of pushing the boundaries of social play, which is at the core of this partnership. For the first time, the LEGO Group will be bringing the most loved Pokémon to life in a brand-new way, with play experiences that will delight new and existing fans alike.
LEGO Pokémon is expected to launch sometime in 2026.
