Trainers, get ready to catch -- er, build them all. Lego has unveiled its first-ever Pokemon sets featuring a lot of beloved monsters from the original games. There's the stand-alone Eevee, the Pikachu and Poke Ball diorama and the impressive Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise display set.
Lego has been partnering with famous brands like Harry Potter and Star Wars for years, and it's only recently that it has expanded into video games with sets based on Minecraft and Super Mario. Given Pokemon's enduring popularity, it makes sense that Lego would come out with buildable versions of the famous monsters.
The largest set in this collection, Lego Pokemon Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise, includes 6,838 pieces and costs $650. The three final Evolution Pokemon models are rendered with details like Charizard's flame-tipped tail and the water jets coming out of Blastoise's cannons. You can display them individually, or pose them together on a base that corresponds to each Pokemon's type. Once assembled, the model measures 21.3 inches wide and 19.7 inches tall.
The smallest and most affordable of these new sets is the incredibly cute Lego Pokemon Eevee, which includes 587 pieces and costs $60. The fully posable figure measures 8.5 inches long and is already a fan favorite.
But no Pokemon collection is complete without Pikachu. Lego Pokemon Pikachu and Poké Ball includes 2,050 pieces and retails for $200. The delightfully chonky Pokemon mascot can be posed on the included base to look like he's leaping out of the Poke Ball in a burst of blue lightning. Based on pictures, the Poké Ball is more of a squishy cube than a ball, but it can be opened and closed.
Alongside these three main sets are two promotional sets. You can only get the Kanto Region Badge Collection as a GWP (gift with purchase) if you buy the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set between Feb. 27 and March 3. Mini Pokemon Center is an Insider Reward, available to Lego Insiders for 2,500 points beginning on Feb. 27. The Lego Insider program is free to join, and you can get 6.5 points for each $1 you spend.
There are no Pokemon minifigures in this wave, but that could change if more sets come out in the future. Maybe down the road, we'll even see some play features that include the new Smart Brick that Lego showed off last week at CES 2026.
Lego has also cooked up an online scavenger hunt, with new Pokemon appearing each week on the social media sites of Lego Group and Pokemon Company International. The challenge ends Feb. 27, and the grand prize is a trip to PokemonXP and the 2026 Pokemon World Championships.
The Lego Pokemon sets will be available on March 1 (or Feb. 27 for Lego Insiders). In the meantime, check out these deals on Lego Harry Potter sets and more.
