First LEGO Pokemon set with minifigures detailed in new leak

One of LEGOis forthcoming Pokémon Sets will reportedly take the form of a giant Poke Ball accompanied by minifigures. The set is currently LEGO's only rumour Pokémon product is expected to contain minifig.

The LEGO Pokémon theme officially launched in early 2026 with three sets: 72151 Eevee ($59.99), 72152 Pikachu and Poke Ball ($199.99), and 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise ($649.99). All three were revealed in January and hit store shelves in March 2026. They were joined by 40892 Kanto Region Badge Collection and 40911 Mini Pokemon Center, both available through LEGO's regular “Gift with Purchase” promotions. Despite their vast differences in price and number of pieces, the five sets have one thing in common: none of them include minifigures, one of the most recognizable elements of LEGO's modern offerings.

LEGO's upcoming 72154 Poke Ball set reportedly includes minifigures

A LEGO Pokemon minifigure set may finally be on the horizon in the form of the 72154 Poke Ball, according to a new report from the Brick Tap community's Chief Wiggum. The set – the first details of which appeared online as part of a separate LEGO Pokemon leak in late 2025 – is said to be a giant Poke Ball that opens to reveal a scene inside. It remains unclear whether its rumored minifigures will represent humans, Pokemon, or both. The set is rumored to retail for $259.99 and release on August 1, 2026.

Aside from the product name and description, the newly surfaced details of set 72154 were previously shared by another LEGO Pokemon leaker, lego_minecraft_goat, in January 2026. However, the latest Brick Tap update contains a slight discrepancy, saying that the massive Poke Ball replica will contain 2,239 pieces. However, lego_minecraft_goat reported that the set's final piece count was 2,339. Given that the two numbers only differ by a single digit, the simplest explanation is that one of the sources had a typo in their report.

All LEGO Pokemon sets are rumored for release in August 2026

The current batch of unverified LEGO Pokemon leaks include set names with unknown numbers and set numbers with unknown names, suggesting that some product details are just waiting to be linked rather than leaked. Specifically, previous reports suggested that LEGO was working on sets called Eevee Evolution, Scorbunny Evolution, Dojo House and Riolu, Mewtwo Lab and Stadium Bus. All are expected to have fixed numbers in the 721xx range, with only the last two numbers still unknown. These sets are also rumored to be compatible with the Smart Play platform that LEGO formally unveiled in early 2026. However, 72164 Pikachu's Training House is currently the only one said to include a Smart Brick, while the rest will only support the accessory if purchased separately.

The Smart Play compatible Pokémon set is expected to launch in only half a dozen countries: the US, the UK, Germany, France, Poland and Australia. This is because LEGO imposed the same geographic restriction on its existing Smart Play sets from Star Wars line, the first of which was released on March 1, 2026.
