Pokémon franchise is turning 30 next month, and LEGO Group wants to celebrate the occasion with LEGO Pokémon sets. Following leaks and speculations, the official reveal has been made, with two sets of the three already up for pre-order. The three main sets will be shipped next month, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the franchise on February 27. These will revolve around the star mascots Pikachu and Eevee, while the final evolutions of the original starter Pokémon Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur will add excitement for younger fans.
Pikachu and Eevee will make up for the two sets, having their standalone releases in the lineup. The biggest of them all will be the third, Starter Evolution set that’ll let you pose the three Kanto starters’ based on the theme choosen. It can be anything from the ush junglescape for Venusaur, a crashing wave for Blastoise, and a lava-dripping spire for Charizard to fly over.

Eevee Set
The first set in this iconic collection centers on Eevee, the evolution-ready fan favorite. As the most accessible option, this 587-piece build is priced at $59.99 and stands just over 7.5 inches tall once assembled. Its design embraces Eevee’s signature charm with a brick-built face that gives the figure an expressive, almost lifelike presence.
Articulation in the head, ears, limbs, and tail allows subtle posing, while hidden nods to Eevee’s many evolutionary forms add a playful layer of detail for longtime Pokémon Trainers. The compact size and approachable price point make this an appealing choice for both seasoned LEGO builders and newcomers intrigued by the mash-up of brick construction and Pokémon nostalgia.
Pikachu and Poké Ball Set
Stepping up in scale and ambition, the Pikachu and Poké Ball set takes center stage with a 2,050-piece count and a $199.99 retail price. This model revisits one of the franchise’s most iconic moments: Pikachu bursting from its Poké Ball, ready for action. The brick-built Pikachu captures that dynamic energy with fully posable ears and limbs, enabling display configurations ranging from a relaxed stance to an aggressive battle pose.
Its display stand features a stylized lightning motif that evokes the Electric-type’s signature power, and LEGO designers have subtly incorporated Pikachu’s Pokédex number, “25,” into the base, a detail that resonates with franchise history. Whether perched atop the Poké Ball or displayed mid-leap, this iteration of Pokémon’s mascot offers a dramatic and nostalgic showcase piece.
Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise Diorama
At the top of the inaugural range is the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise diorama, a monumental build that celebrates the original Kanto starter Pokémon in their final evolutionary forms. With 6,838 pieces and a $649.99 price tag, this set is designed squarely for adult collectors and hardcore fans. Each Pokémon figure stands individually with its own articulation, allowing builders to pose Venusaur’s vines, Charizard’s wings, and Blastoise’s water cannons in varied stances.
The figures are proportioned to stand roughly 7 to 9 inches tall, and they sit upon a richly detailed multi-biome base that reflects their elemental identities. These include a leafy jungle for Venusaur, volcanic embers for Charizard, and aquatic textures for Blastoise. Scattered throughout the build are Easter eggs and environmental cues that reward close inspection, making this set a centerpiece worthy of display in any fan’s collection.
To sweeten the launch, LEGO is also offering limited extras tied to these sets. Buyers of the starter trio set during the first week of release can receive a Kanto Region Badge Collection as a gift with purchase, while LEGO Insiders will have access to a mini Pokémon Center build through reward redemption.
