New LEGO® Pokémon sets bring Rayquaza, Arcanine and trainers to life
21 de juliol 2026
The world of LEGO® Pokémon is expanding rapidly. Following the introduction of characters including Eevee, Pikachu, Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur, five new sets have been announced. Featuring Munchlax, Arcanine, Rayquaza, a large Poké Ball filled with recognisable scenes and an enlarged version of Trainer Red, the series is set to appeal even more to collectors, display builders and fans of unique individual LEGO® pieces.
LEGO® Munchlax 72150, Arcanine 72160 and Rayquaza 72168 will be released on 1 August 2026. The Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball 72154 and the Up-Scaled Red Minifigure 40868 will follow on 1 October 2026. The new sets also introduce the first Pokémon Trainer minifigures within the theme.
These sets complement the previously released LEGO® Eevee 72151, LEGO® Pikachu and Poké Ball 72152, and the large display set Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise 72153. View these sets together on the LEGO® Pokémon sets page at ToyPro.
Munchlax and Arcanine as adjustable display models
LEGO® Pokémon Munchlax 72150 consists of 757 pieces and is designed as a display set for adult builders. Munchlax is perched on a tree stump and is surrounded by an apple and two apple cores. The arms and legs can be moved, and the head can also be rotated.
Standing over 18 centimetres tall, it is a relatively compact model that fits easily on a desk, shelf or in a display cabinet. For fans of individual bricks, the combination of blue-green and cream-coloured building elements, the brown parts of the tree stump and the small food accessories are particularly interesting. Such parts are very useful in forest scenes, game-themed MOCs, restaurants and other dioramas.
With 1,190 pieces, the LEGO® Pokémon Arcanine 72160 is a larger and more elaborate building project. The tail, legs, feet, head and mouth can be adjusted, allowing Arcanine to be posed in various positions.
The layered coat, powerful stance and combination of orange, cream and black elements give the model a distinctive look. The building techniques used for the coat may be of particular interest to MOC builders looking to create animals, fantasy creatures or other organic forms.
Rayquaza hovers above the Sky Pillar
One of the most striking new sets is LEGO® Pokémon Rayquaza 72168. The model consists of 1,083 pieces and stands over 38 centimetres tall. Rayquaza twists and turns above a cloud-surrounded display base inspired by the Sky Pillar from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.
The body and tail can be repositioned, and the arms and head are also movable. Rayquaza can also be removed from the stand and displayed as a freestanding model. The set also includes an exclusive Zinnia minifigure, complete with a Mega Stone.
For collectors, it is precisely this combination that makes the set special. Rayquaza is a large, posable display model, whilst Zinnia is a figure on a traditional minifigure scale. Rayquaza’s green, yellow and black parts are ideal for building dragons, snakes and other fantasy creatures. The clouds, rocks and small decorative elements of the Sky Pillar can provide inspiration for creating your own floating Pokémon scene.
A Poké Ball full of minifigures and game details
With 2,386 pieces, the LEGO® Pokémon Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball 72154 is the largest set in this new range. The large Poké Ball can be opened. The lower section features a battle scene, whilst the upper section contains a LEGO® version of Professor Oak’s laboratory.
The set includes three traditional minifigures: Red, Professor Oak and Picnicker. Pikachu and Eevee are included as separate minifigure-scale figures. The laboratory features, amongst other things, a library, computers, three moulded Poké Balls and two Pokédex tiles. The base is designed to make it look as though the large Poké Ball has just landed on the floor.
It is precisely these small details that make the set appealing to collectors and MOC builders. The computers, laboratory elements and LEGO® tiles can be used in all sorts of modern buildings and game scenes. The Poké Balls, Pokédex elements and minifigures can be combined with LEGO® minifigure accessories to build your own Pokémon laboratory, Trainer battle or Poké Centre.
The set is also significant for the theme because Red and Professor Oak are well-known characters from the first generation of Pokémon games. Their introduction as minifigures paves the way for more LEGO® Pokémon scenes on a minifigure scale.
Red gets an oversized LEGO® minifigure
Red doesn’t just appear as a standard minifigure in the Poké Ball set. The LEGO® Pokémon Up-Scaled Red Minifigure 40868 recreates the famous trainer as a large model comprising 930 pieces. The figure stands over 27 centimetres tall and is intended for builders aged 10 and over.
The model has movable arms, legs and hands, and features a swivelling head. Red’s distinctive red cap, blue trousers, rucksack and red-and-white outfit are also included. The included Poké Ball can be placed in either hand. This means the model works both as a toy and as a large display piece for a games room.
Although the name might suggest otherwise, this is not a standard traditional minifigure, but an enlarged version built from LEGO® bricks. The design follows the same recognisable proportions as a standard minifigure.
Why these sets are of interest to parts collectors
The five new models clearly demonstrate just how broad the LEGO® Pokémon theme is becoming. Munchlax and Arcanine are primarily organically constructed figures, Rayquaza combines a posable creature with a landscape base, whilst the Poké Ball focuses heavily on interiors, minifigures and small gaming details.
For builders who don’t immediately need a complete set, the individual elements may be of particular interest. Consider, for example:
- green and yellow parts for Rayquaza-style dragons;
- orange, cream and black parts for Arcanine;
- blue-green pieces and food accessories from Munchlax;
- red and white curved pieces for your own Poké Balls;
- computers, laboratory parts and printed tiles;
- minifigure parts for trainers and researchers;
- joints and connectors for adjustable models.
On the page for individual LEGO® parts, you can search by part number, colour, category or set number. So make sure to note down the set numbers 72150, 72160, 72168, 72154 and 40868. This will allow you to quickly check which parts from a set are available separately once it’s been released.
For characters and your own trainers, you can also check out the individual LEGO® minifigures, LEGO® minifigure parts and special LEGO® parts. These allow you to repair an existing figure, create your own Pokémon Trainer or add more detail to a game diorama.
