Pokémon turned 30 this year, and like plenty of 30-year-old millennials, it’s getting into Lego. The Pokémon Company and Lego collaborated for the first time earlier in 2026, with sets featuring Pikachu, Eevee, and the Kanto starters’ final evolutions. On Tuesday, Lego revealed its next batch of Pokémon sets, including one for a fan-favorite Legendary Pokémon. Three will be released Aug. 1, the same day as the recently revealed Smart Play Pokémon sets, while the Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball and the giant Red figure will be released Oct. 1.
Munchlax, Arcanine, and Rayquaza are all on the way. Munchlax is the smaller (but no less hungry) Pokémon that evolves into the very rotund Snorlax, a Generation 1 icon. Its set will include some decoration as Munchlax sits on a tree stump with apple cores around him.
Like so many of the Pokémon featured in Lego’s previous Pokémon sets, Arcanine is from the Kanto region. Unlike the Munchlax set, there are no flourishes in the Arcanine set; all the nearly 1,200 pieces are for putting together the fire-type hound.
Rounding out the newly announced sets is one for Rayquaza, the Legendary that debuted in Pokémon Emerald. The green dragon flies in the clouds above the top of the Sky Pillar, its location in Emerald. At the Sky Pillar stands a trainer Lego minifigure. the first one for a Lego Pokémon set. Check the Rayquaza set out, and the rest of the new sets, in the galleries below.
