3 LEGO Pokémon 18+ Sets Rumoured For August 2026

While many LEGO themes have already had their summer 2026 sets officially presented, the LEGO Group are saving some of the best reveals until last, with the debut 2026 LEGO Pokémon theme being one of them. After just three entirely adult-oriented sets released on Pokémon day in February, rumours indicate that up to 16 sets could be launching on the 1st of August 2026.

Three of these are more 18+ branded models to add to the previously mentioned February debut releases. 72160 Arcanine has already been leaked, thanks to the UK Amazon site and will be joined by 72150 Munchlax and 72168 Rayquaza. All three builds will be mid-sized brick-built recreations of the in-game Pokémon, but built in their respective scale and compatible with the already available 72151 Eevee.

72150 Munchlax

Translating one of Pokémon’s most recognisable baby Pokémon into brick-built form, 72150 Munchlax could deliver a compact yet characterful 18+ display model centred around the creature’s simple, rounded appearance. Munchlax eats anything edible except for Pokémon and humans, so some form of eating mechanism may be recreated within the August 2026 set's 757 pieces retailing for $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99.

72160 Arcanine

We already have our first image of 72160 Arcanine, thanks to the UK Amazon site, but we'll provide the picture here again, along with reconfirming the 18+ set's 1,190 pieces and recommended retail price of $109.99 / €99.99 / £89.99. Pokédex number 59 in brick-built LEGO form includes plenty of posability along with an accurate recreation of its fluffy mane, tail and fur.

72168 Rayquaza

Last but not least, we have the most expensive model of the three adult branded sets: 72168 Rayquaza. While retailing for $129.99 / €129.99 / £109.99, the brick-built duel-type Dragon and Flying legendary Pokémon has a smaller piece count than 72160 Arcanine at 1,038 pieces. These elements will focus on accurately recreating the long, serpentine masterpiece with tightly linked joints that allow the brick-built body to twist, coil and curve just like the in-game dragon does.
