You gotta catch ‘em all, right? Well, trying to get ALL the LEGO Pokémon sets might be a bit of a financial challenge, but there are definitely a few must-haves from the new partnership between the two companies. After officially kicking off the LEGO x Pokémon deal at the start of 2026, the pair have announced a series of new LEGO Pokémon sets and minifigures.
LEGO x Pokémon New Sets for July 2026
Five new sets in the LEGO Pokémon range have been announced, featuring iconic Pokémon like Arcanine, Rayquaza, and Munchlax, Trainer Red, and, finally, a LEGO Poké Ball. The Rayquaza set displays the Flying-type serpent above the Sky Pillar scene from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, and features a minifigure of Zinnia. For Arcanine, the Fire-type Pokémon is made for display and is fully posable, recreating its furry appearance in great detail. Finally, the Munchlax set displays the Big Eater sitting on a stump with some treats by its side.
There’s also an Up-Scaled Minifigure of Trainer Red, the OG playable character from Generation 1 Pokémon games. The 930-piece set displays the iconic character in his red and blue outfit, plus a Poké Ball in his hand. The mega-fig can also be posed, allowing you to adjust Trainer Red’s head, arms, and legs.
These are all great, but the highlight of the new LEGO Pokémon sets is the 2,368-piece Poké Ball set. The large Poké Ball is true to form with its two-tone red and white look, and it even opens up to reveal a battle scene and Professor Oak’s lab. The lab is on the top half of the Poké Ball, while the battle scene is on the bottom. Included are three minifigures: Professor Oak, Red, and a Picnicker, and for the first time, Pikachu and Eevee figures.
