72151 Eevee
Price: £54.99 / €59.99 / $59.99
Pieces: 587

72151 Eevee builds a posable version of the beloved type, with lots of options for putting the build in delightful poses. There are special eye and mouth elements that seem to have printed decoration to make sure the model is authentic to the game design.
72152 Pikachu and Poké Ball
Price: £179.99 / $199.99 / €199.99

No new range of LEGO Pokémon sets would be complete without Pikachu. In 72152 Pikachu and Poké Ball, you build Ash’s trusty sidekick leaping out of a Poké Ball ready to battle. Lightning effects capture the moment that Pikachu exits the sphere for action. It looks like the mouth and eye elements feature printed decoration.
There is an alternative posing option that has Pikachu seated next to the closed Poké Ball.
The display base you build as part of the model is in a lightning rod shape. There is a ‘25’ on the base, which refers to Pikachu’s Pokédex number.
72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise
Price: £579.99 / $649.99 / €649.99
Pieces: 6,838

Three Kanto first partner Pokémon evolutions combine in a single model. 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise builds the evolved forms of Bulbasaur, Charmeleon and Squirtle in one 6,838 building experience that is sure to last for a good few hours.
Each figure features articulation so you can pose them as you desire, with what look to be printed eyes elements to give them game accurate character details. Charizard seems to use new elements for the wings and is positioned on a Technic arm to give the impression of flight.
The set also includes bricks and instructions for a detailed display base that features relevant environmental settings for the creatures.

“Bringing the world of Pokémon to life in LEGO bricks is both an exciting opportunity and a great responsibility,” said LEGO Chief Product & Marketing Officer Julia Goldin. “We’ve worked to combine our worlds in a way that truly celebrates the creativity, adventure, and wonder that Pokémon represents. This partnership opens up a whole new range of possibilities for Trainers and builders alike, and we can’t wait for fans to experience these new LEGO Pokémon sets.”
“As a lifelong Pokémon fan, it’s been an incredible honour to help bring these Pokémon to life in LEGO brick form for the first time,” said LEGO Pokémon Design Director Siddharth Muthyala. “Pokémon has inspired generations of fans around the world, so our team approached the design of these sets with immense care and passion, ensuring every detail and pose truly celebrates what makes these characters so beloved. I hope fans will love building them, as much as we did designing them.”
The LEGO Group have come up with a scavenger hunt to help promote the release of the new sets. Fans must search for clues across LEGO and Pokémon digital channels. The task is to find clues that will unlock “exciting rewards” – and the chance to win a trip to PokémonXP and the 2026 Pokémon World Championships in San Francisco, including access to Championship Sunday at the Chase Center, alongside the first three LEGO Pokémon sets.
“Pokémon has always inspired discovery and connection and partnering with the LEGO Group brings those qualities together with creativity and imagination into a new form,” said The Pokémon Company International Chief Product and Experience Officer Gaku Susai. “By combining Pokémon’s sense of adventure with the thoughtful design and attention to detail of the LEGO Group, we’re giving fans the chance to build, play, and tell their own stories in ways they’ve never experienced before – something we’re thrilled to see come to life.”
