LEGO Pokémon Rumoured Summer 2026 Sets

Pokémon Day is this Friday, and that means we are just days away from the first-ever Pokémon-branded LEGO sets. The LEGO Pokémon theme will debut with just three sets, all rated 18+ and all recreating some of the most iconic Pokémon in brick-built form. But those three models aren't the only sets for 2026, as, along with various Pokémon-themed Gift With Purchases, almost 20 sets are expected to be released in the summer for the licensed theme.

Apart from another adult-oriented 18+ model for the gaming theme, the Summer wave is made up of LEGO Pokémon playsets for younger builders. Many of these models make use of the brand-new LEGO SMART Play technology, which debuts next month with the LEGO Star Wars theme. However, some sets are reportedly our classic LEGO playsets: no technology, no brick-built characters and instead LEGO Pokémon Minifigures/moulded figures with playful builds and iconic locations in brick-built LEGO.

72156 Squirtle's Training Buggy Adventure

The first rumoured set on this list to actually have a name is 72156 Squirtle's Training Buggy Adventure. Unfortunately, all of the sets with rumoured names are reportedly LEGO SMART Play models, with this 7+ model being the first.

72157 Charmander's Wild Encounter with Geodude

An exciting Pokémon-themed battle looks set to be recreated in 72157 Charmander's Wild Encounter with Geodude. Once again, this 12+ model is SMART Play branded, and if it is battle-based, then we could see a build with similar functionality as 75427 SMART Play: Throne Room Duel & A-Wing. Obviously, 72157 will also include the fire-type Charmander and the rock Pokémon Geodude in LEGO for the first time.

Retailing for $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99, Pikachu, about the same size if not smaller than a LEGO BrickHeadz figure, is included alongside the revolutionary SMART Brick and a Pikachu-shaped house for the brick-built figure to interact with in various ground-breaking ways.

72166 Cubone vs Gengar's Ghost Challenge

It's time for things to get a little haunted and scary with the release of 72166 Cubone vs Gengar's Ghost Challenge on the 1st of August 2026. The LEGO SMART Play function included in this set will heavily focus on this 'ghost challenge', and with it, plenty of spooky noises and jumpy scares. A battle can then be set up with the two Pokémon, Cubone and Gengar.

Set Name - Cubone vs Gengar's Ghost Challenge

72167 Jolteon vs Charizard

With an age range of 12+, this may be another brick-built character display model, but at a more accessible price point with an emphasis on play rather than display. We've seen these sorts of brick-built characters in both the LEGO Disney and LEGO Harry Potter themes, and on the 1st of August 2026, the LEGO Pokémon theme will join this trend. 72167 will recreate poseable brick-built versions of Jolteon and Charizard, complete with articulated wings.
