Lego is partnering with Pokémon for the first time in a collaboration set for 2026.
The official announcement was made after Lego Mexico reportedly uploaded the reveal early, per the LegoLeak subreddit.
A brief video shows several yellow bricks coming together to form Pikachu’s signature bolt-shaped tail, with Lego and Pokémon logos displayed across the top of the screen together.

Lego has also officially confirmed the news on its site, saying the collaboration is “coming soon.”
Not many details were given, aside from the Lego Pikachu tail and this line: “Electrify your imagination in 2026 and get ready to build something we’ve never built with Lego bricks before!”
In a note to press, the Lego Group and The Pokémon Company International described the deal as a “new multi-year partnership.”
Here’s the official blurb:
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.
Lego has been heavily involved with Nintendo thanks to its line of Mario Lego sets, as well as other video game properties like Horizon, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Overwatch. Pokémon is also no stranger to the constructible toy-set arena, as its creatures have crossed over into the realm of Mega Bloks.
Pokémon seems like a perfect franchise to capture both younger audiences and the older, nostalgic builders who grew up with the original games. The Mario sets have struck that balance in the past, with varied offerings like the game-focused Super Mario set or more display-oriented fare.
Though we have official confirmation now, it will be interesting to see which Pokemon feature in the full collab. We’ll likely learn more as we head towards 2026.
