Meet the electric new LEGO® Pokémon™ Pikachu and Poké Ball set

Whenever you hear the word Pokémon, there’s a good chance that first among the many Pokémon that you picture is the adorable, formidable and completely unique Pikachu.

Ever since it bolted to life in the very first video games, this irrepressible Pokémon has been an unmistakable icon of one of the world’s favorite series.

Now, for the very first time, Pikachu is appearing in its very own LEGO® set. It’s a stunning 2,050-piece display set that is packed with Pokémon details which fans are sure to love.


So, as this set leaps into life, we thought we’d run through everything you need to know about Pikachu and the LEGO® Pokémon™ Pikachu and Poké Ball set.

The first spark of the legend

Its combo of irresistible cuteness with a feisty, sparky personality has led to millions of fans all over the world wishing they could have a Pikachu of their own.

Now they can, with the LEGO® Pokémon™ Pikachu and Poké Ball set.


The stunning Pikachu set captures a yellow body, narrow pointed ears and the distinct red cheeks that will be familiar to all. There is also, of course, the lightning-flash tail with either a heart-shaped tip or flat end depending on its gender.


It also features lightning sparks to symbolize the energy stores of this Electric-type Pokémon and “25” is spelled out in studs on the display base to represent Pikachu’s Pokédex Number.

How we made an icon out of bricks

The posable Pikachu figure stands over 13.5 in. (35 cm) tall, 10.5 in. (26 cm) wide and 15.5 in. (39 cm) deep, and is ready to bring a jolt of playful fun into your home.


To find out more about the design, we chatted to Siddarth Muthyala, Design and Product Lead at the LEGO Group, who was part of the team that created this set.


“It was very important to capture Pikachu in an interesting format,” says Siddarth. “For us, having the option of changing the pose for Pikachu was very important to capture the iconic nature of it.”

The team eventually decided on a unique display that captures another essential icon from the Pokémon series: the Poké Ball.

“We wanted to have Pikachu in an action pose where it’s leaping out of a Poké Ball,” continues Siddarth. “The set captures a moment in time, almost like a freeze frame of an iconic moment, when Pikachu comes out of a Poké Ball. The second scene we wanted to capture was Pikachu in a standing or seated position, like he’s in the room with you!”

And who wouldn’t want that?

Wherever you first met Pikachu, we’re sure you’ll agree it’s impossible not to love. Now, you can bring your very own Pikachu home with you in a set that is sure to offer hours of building fun and endless pleasure as it sits on your shelf or desk.

This set marks the start of a collaboration of two beloved brands and there are other sets available that include Pokémon like Eevee, as well as a new set featuring Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise.

Whether you want to catch and build them all or just bring home your very own Pikachu, these are a must-have for Pokémon fans or anyone with a love of gaming nostalgia. They also make a wonderful gift.

So, don’t delay, pick up your very own Pikachu today!
