LEGO and The Pokémon Company’s most ambitious collaboration yet is now live. Twelve brand-new LEGO Pokémon SMART Play sets went on sale today, 1 August 2026, bringing interactive screen-free play technology to some of the franchise’s most iconic Pokémon for the very first time. It’s the biggest shake-up to the LEGO Pokémon range since the line launched — and if you’ve got a Pokémon-obsessed kid (or, let’s be honest, you are one), this is worth paying attention to.
What Is LEGO SMART Play Technology?
The headline innovation here is the LEGO SMART Brick — a small electronic component that slots into compatible builds and packs more than twenty patented technologies into one unit. Once embedded, it makes your Pokémon set respond to real-world interactions through light, sound, motion, and sensing — all without a screen or a paired app.
The idea is to let kids feel like actual Pokémon Trainers: feed your Pikachu, battle a rival’s Charizard, or coax a wild Mewtwo into submission — and the set physically responds to what you do. LEGO says the system is designed to grow with a collection: the SMART Brick from one All-in-One set can be moved into any compatible set in the range.
The Full Lineup — From Jigglypuff to Mewtwo
The twelve sets split into two tiers. All-in-One Sets come bundled with a SMART Brick and charger, so you’re ready to play straight out of the box. Compatible Sets include only the SMART Tags — they work with a SMART Brick you already own, or on their own as standard brick builds.

Where to Buy — And the Singapore Situation
The official day-one launch markets are the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France, and Poland — sets are live now on LEGO.com and in LEGO Brand Stores in those territories.
Singapore isn’t listed among the formal launch markets, but LEGO.com offers international shipping and local LEGO Brand Stores (ION Orchard, VivoCity, Bugis+, and Jewel Changi Airport) often receive new ranges — SGD pricing and local availability are to be confirmed, so keep an eye on your nearest store. At US pricing, the entry point is around US$14.99 for the Jigglypuff Concert set, making it one of the more accessible LEGO Pokémon sets yet.
The Pokémon and LEGO lines have both built strong followings here, and with the Kanto starter trio (Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle) all getting dedicated sets alongside fan favourites like Gengar, Mewtwo, and Eevee, there’s a strong pull for collectors and younger fans alike.
