The LEGO Pokémon collaboration has been on a roll, and this week it leveled up hard. What started as a fresh round of leaks circulating through the LEGO Leak subreddit has now been fully confirmed: five new sets are officially coming, with pre-orders already live.
If you enjoy LEGO Party! and the broader LEGO gaming universe, this wave of physical sets is worth paying attention to.
What leaked, and what got confirmed
The leaks dropped first, as they always do. Set numbers, piece counts, and pricing all surfaced before any official word, giving fans a detailed look at what was coming. Within hours, LEGO and Pokémon made it official.
Here's the lowdown on the full lineup:
The August trio is available to pre-order right now through the official LEGO store and the Pokémon Centre.
The sets worth getting excited about
Arcanine [set 72160] was actually leaked earlier this year, so its August arrival feels more like a relief than a surprise. At 1,190 pieces and $99.99, it sits in a comfortable range for a display-worthy build.
Rayquaza [set 72168] is the priciest of the August batch at $129.99, though 1,083 pieces for a legendary dragon that stretches across most shelves is a reasonable ask. The key here is the visual payoff: Rayquaza is one of those Pokémon that translates exceptionally well into a brick-built form.
Munchlax [set 72150] is the sleeper pick of the three. At 757 pieces and $79.99, it's the most accessible entry point, and Munchlax's round, chunky shape is practically designed for LEGO.
The Poké Ball set is the real headline
The Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball [set 72154] deserves its own spotlight. At 2,386 pieces and roughly $300, this is clearly the prestige set of the wave. It recreates familiar scenes from the games, includes custom figures for Pikachu and Eevee, and comes with minifig-scale Poké Balls built into the design.
For context, that piece count puts it firmly in the same territory as LEGO's premium UCS-style builds. This is a shelf centerpiece, not a casual afternoon build.
What this means for the LEGO Pokémon line
Five sets in one wave signals that the LEGO Pokémon partnership has serious momentum. The lineup covers multiple price points, spans fan-favorite Pokémon across generations, and includes both accessible builds and premium collector pieces.
What most players miss is how well the LEGO Pokémon sets have been selling as display items rather than play sets. The piece counts and pricing structure here lean heavily into that collector market, which makes the Poké Ball and Rayquaza sets particularly smart additions.
Pre-orders for the August sets are live now. If Rayquaza or the Poké Ball set are on your radar, you'll want to move quickly given how fast the earlier LEGO Pokémon sets sold through their initial stock.
