Twelve brand-new <strong>LEGO Pok\u00e9mon SMART Play sets<\/strong> went on sale today, 1 August 2026, bringing interactive screen-free play technology to some of the franchise&#8217;s most iconic Pok\u00e9mon for the very first time. It&#8217;s the biggest shake-up to the LEGO Pok\u00e9mon range since the line launched \u2014 and if you&#8217;ve got a Pok\u00e9mon-obsessed kid (or, let&#8217;s be honest, you are one), this is worth paying attention to.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VyN8RzQsTwM\" title=\"LEGO\u00ae Pok\u00e9mon\u2122 SMART Play\u2122 sets are coming!\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>LEGO\u00ae Pok\u00e9mon\u2122 SMART Play\u2122 sets are coming! \u2014 via The Official Pok\u00e9mon YouTube channel on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What Is LEGO SMART Play Technology?<\/h2>\n<p>The headline innovation here is the <strong>LEGO SMART Brick<\/strong> \u2014 a small electronic component that slots into compatible builds and packs more than twenty patented technologies into one unit. Once embedded, it makes your Pok\u00e9mon set respond to real-world interactions through light, sound, motion, and sensing \u2014 all without a screen or a paired app.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is to let kids feel like actual Pok\u00e9mon Trainers: feed your Pikachu, battle a rival&#8217;s Charizard, or coax a wild Mewtwo into submission \u2014 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.<\/p>\n<h2>The Full Lineup \u2014 From Jigglypuff to Mewtwo<\/h2>\n<p>The twelve sets split into two tiers. <strong>All-in-One Sets<\/strong> come bundled with a SMART Brick and charger, so you&#8217;re ready to play straight out of the box. <strong>Compatible Sets<\/strong> include only the SMART Tags \u2014 they work with a SMART Brick you already own, or on their own as standard brick builds.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lego-pokemon-72164-training-house-pikachu-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"LEGO 72164 Training House with Pikachu set box\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The LEGO Group \/ The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>All-in-One Sets (include SMART Brick):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>72164 Training House with Pikachu<\/strong> \u2014 400 pieces, ages 6+, US$69.99<\/li>\n<li><strong>72167 Charizard vs. Jolteon Ultimate Battle<\/strong> \u2014 751 pieces, ages 8+, US$119.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lego-pokemon-72167-charizard-jolteon-battle-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"LEGO 72167 Charizard vs Jolteon Ultimate Battle set box\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The LEGO Group \/ The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Compatible Sets (work with existing SMART Brick or standalone):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>72155 Berry Bash with Bulbasaur and Bidoof<\/strong> \u2014 240 pieces, US$19.99<\/li>\n<li><strong>72156 Trainer&#8217;s Buggy Adventure with Squirtle<\/strong> \u2014 320 pieces, US$29.99<\/li>\n<li><strong>72157 Charmander and Geodude&#8217;s Cavern Clash<\/strong> \u2014 198 pieces, US$19.99<\/li>\n<li><strong>72158 Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly Battle<\/strong> \u2014 313 pieces, US$34.99<\/li>\n<li><strong>72159 Jigglypuff Concert<\/strong> \u2014 88 pieces, US$14.99<\/li>\n<li><strong>72161 Drone Search for Mythical Mew<\/strong> \u2014 429 pieces, US$49.99<\/li>\n<li><strong>72162 Eevee and Lapras&#8217;s Treasure Hunt<\/strong> \u2014 623 pieces, US$59.99<\/li>\n<li><strong>72163 Mewtwo&#8217;s Lab Break<\/strong> \u2014 605 pieces, US$69.99<\/li>\n<li><strong>72165 Umbreon vs. Garchomp Championship Battle<\/strong> \u2014 831 pieces, US$79.99<\/li>\n<li><strong>72166 Cubone and Gengar&#8217;s Spooky Showdown<\/strong> \u2014 782 pieces, US$89.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lego-pokemon-72159-jigglypuff-concert.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"LEGO 72159 Jigglypuff Concert set box\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The LEGO Group \/ The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a limited <strong>Gift With Purchase<\/strong> set \u2014 <strong>40887 Ditto as Squirtle Movie Night<\/strong> \u2014 available with qualifying purchases while stocks last.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to Buy \u2014 And the Singapore Situation<\/h2>\n<p>The official day-one launch markets are the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France, and Poland \u2014 sets are live now on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lego.com\/en-us\/themes\/pokemon\" rel=\"noopener\">LEGO.com<\/a> and in LEGO Brand Stores in those territories.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lego-pokemon-72163-mewtwo-lab-break-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"LEGO 72163 Mewtwo's Lab Break set box\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The LEGO Group \/ The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Singapore isn&#8217;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 \u2014 SGD pricing and local availability are to be confirmed, so keep an eye on your nearest store.
