CheckMag | Lego and Pokémon partnership revealed, new products to come in 2026

The Lego Group and Pokémon Company put out a press release stating their intention for a new collaboration between the two companies, culminating in Pokémon Lego sets to come out sometime in 2026. There's not many details to go on currently, but this is an exciting time as Lego continues to bring more video game IP to life through brand collaboration. If their sets with Legend of Zelda, Mario, or Sonic are anything to go by, then Leo and Pokémon connoisseurs alike have a lot to be excited for.

In the press release, the Lego Group and Pokémon each had statements to say:

We are thrilled to be working with a brand that has such a deep and passionate fanbase as Pokémon, partnering to give our joint audiences what they have been asking us for. We strongly believe that through the endless possibilities of Lego play and the exciting adventures the world of Pokémon brings, this partnership will create a range of new possibilities for Trainers and builders alike - Julia Goldin, Chief Product & Marketing Officer of the Lego Group.

The Lego Group and Pokémon have strong shared values of imagination, creativity and fun, making this the perfect partnership to deliver unique, meaningful and engaging ways for Trainers to experience the Pokémon brand. Working with the best-in-class team at the Lego Group and seeing their dedication and passion for the project has culminated in an innovative and groundbreaking collaboration that will surprise and delight fans. We cannot wait to see both Lego fans and the Pokémon community’s reactions in 2026 - Gaku Susai, Chief Product and Experience Officer at The Pokémon Company International.

As a fan of both Lego and Pokémon myself, I look forward to seeing what this collaboration brings. (I'm just hoping the price won't be enough to absolutely obliterate my wallet! Also, Sylveon Lego set, please?)
