New moulds in LEGO® Pokémon SMART Play™ sets August 2026

Stand by, trainers: prepare to catch, bond with and train your Pokémon with the August 2026 wave of LEGO® Pokémon SMART Play™ sets now available, but only in the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France and Poland.

This first article takes a look at all the new moulds, and there are plenty to be found amongst the fifteen sets (including the two paper-poly bags and a gift-with-purchase set).

Pre-order 3 LEGO® Pokémon sets, plus Gift with Purchase & Insider Reward revealed

Everyone has been waiting for this reveal, and it hasn't disappointed. The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International have just revealed the first fruits of their new partnership, in the form of three LEGO® Pokémon with the 18+ age mark, which are all available to pre-order now. They feature the popular characters Pikachu, Evee, Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise. 

Also revealed are an accompanying free gift with purchases of the largest set, plus a set that LEGO® Insiders in some countries can redeem for 2,500 points. 

Everything is released on 27 February 2026 globally – but it seems in Asia, the only country receiving these products is South Korea. (And Australia and New Zealand, if you count them as Asia.)

Teaser: LEGO® Pokémon in 2026

LEGO® Pokémon products will be coming in 2026, it has just been revealed. The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company have announced a new partnership, which makes sense given that Pokémon is partly owned by Nintendo, who LEGO have successfully partnered with for several years now. This does presumably mean, however, that Mattel's current license to produce MEGA Construx Pokémon products will be ending in 2026.
