LEGO® Pokémon™ Parents’ Guide

Whether your child has been exploring the world of LEGO® Pokémon since before they could tie their shoelaces or they’ve just discovered this universe, this guide is for you.

Consider it your crash course on the new LEGO SMART Play™ System, created to take our sets to a whole new level. Designed for hours and hours of responsive play.

What is LEGO® SMART Play™?

The LEGO SMART Play System is one of our newest innovations. For the first time ever, our sets play back through interactive, screen-free play, responding to kids’ movements and imagination. Please note that the SMART Bricks are not available in the LEGO Pokémon SMART Play Compatible sets. You’ll find them in the LEGO Pokémon SMART Play All-In-One sets. Learn more about the LEGO SMART Play System.

What’s the difference between All-In-One and Compatible SMART Play sets?

Let’s start with the basics! All-In-One sets come with everything you need to get started on the LEGO SMART Play System: SMART Brick, SMART Tags and a SMART Charger.

Compatible sets, meanwhile, amplify imagination and creative playtime through their SMART Tags. These interactive features come to life when you add a SMART Brick (not included), which can be taken from any All-In-One set you already own.

What is LEGO Pokémon SMART Play?

Available in both All-In-One and Compatible versions, these new sets are designed to create an interactive LEGO Pokémon training experience, ideal for any Trainer ready to dive in.

There is a growing range of All-In-One and Compatible sets available: discover them all here!

What age is LEGO Pokémon SMART Play suitable for?

The LEGO Pokémon SMART Play sets are ideal for kids aged 6 years and up and great gifts for LEGO Pokémon fans ready to bring their training skills to life. They’ll have the chance to nurture and train alongside iconic LEGO Pokémon favorites (including LEGO Pikachu, LEGO Charizard, LEGO Bulbasaur, LEGO Squirtle and many others).

Why do kids love LEGO Pokémon SMART Play?

The LEGO Pokémon SMART Play sets take playtime to a whole new level, creating a responsive experience connected to how your child moves the set.

Here’s why kids and parents love it:

LEGO Pokémon play back as you train them!
When you step into this universe, it’s impossible not to dream of becoming a Pokémon Master Trainer. Now, with LEGO Pokémon SMART Play, kids can feel like seasoned Trainers, because their LEGO Pokémon come to life, reacting to every move and action during play.
It’s interactive, in a good way!
There’s a chance that when you read the word ‘interactive,’ you immediately think about screens or apps. Well, that’s not the case here.

The LEGO SMART Play System is designed so that the SMART Tags interact with the SMART Brick, bringing this whole universe to life with LEGO builds that respond to how kids play through light, sound, motion and sensing (no tablet or smartphone required).
Skill-building disguised as fun!
Beyond motor skills, the LEGO Pokémon SMART Play sets teach patience, strategy, planning and collaboration. We’re a bit biased, of course, but that sounds like a great combination!

Why is LEGO Pokémon SMART Play perfect for special occasions?

Looking for a great gift for the LEGO Pokémon fan in your life? The LEGO Pokémon SMART Play sets are wonderful gift options for holidays, birthdays or just because. With a range of sets spanning different price points and a collection that will keep growing, there’s something for every LEGO Pokémon fan (whatever their favorite type).
