Lego's Rumored Pokémon Smart Play Sets: Iconic Builds with Interactive Features Leak
June 2, 2026
Lego unveils a 12-set Pokémon Smart Play line that brings buildable Pokémon to life with new Smart Play technology, including iconic figures like Mewtwo, Charizard, and Pikachu.
All sets are scheduled to release on August 1, 2026, with pre-orders kicking off now and price points ranging roughly from $14.99 to $119.99 depending on size and features.
Highlighted sets include Training House with Pikachu, Charizard vs. Jolteon Ultimate Battle, Eevee and Lapras's Treasure Hunt, Mewtwo's Lab Break, Umbreon vs. Garchomp Championship Battle, and Cubone and Gengar's Spooky Showdown, among others, with a mix of battles, habitats, and concerts.
The leaks are unconfirmed at this stage and presented as rumors tied to ongoing LEGO Pokémon product discussions.
Leaked details originate from the Legoleaks subreddit and an anonymous Brick Tap source, with cautious corroboration but no official confirmation.
The article conveys the author’s personal enthusiasm, noting plans to buy for themselves and teasing future resources like a full Pokédex and Eevee evolution guides tied to Pocket Tactics.
The author admits a personal backlog of unopened sets and hints they may not purchase the new line, though they’re drawn to certain items like the Mewtwo set and the Paldean starters trio.
LEGO targets builders aged six and up, aiming to foster hands-on play, creativity, storytelling, and experimentation through Smart Play features.
Coverage builds on prior reporting from outlets like 9to5Toys and situates the leak within the broader Pokémon Day context.
Images leaked suggest Smart Play features may be present, but the Smart Brick itself may not ship with every set.
The piece is authored by IGN’s Tom Phillips, with contact information provided.
The line emphasizes screen-free, interactive play that combines building with sensory features like lights and sounds, aiming to evoke the feel of training and battling Pokémon.
