LEGO Pokémon SMART Play Sets: All 12 Sets, Prices & Pieces
The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company unveil interactive builds powered by the LEGO SMART Brick — on sale now at LEGO, Pokémon Center and other retailers.
The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International have officially announced twelve new LEGO Pokémon SMART Play sets, bringing interactive technology to the brick-building experience for the first time. All twelve sets went on sale on 1 August 2026.
What Is LEGO SMART Play?
The LEGO SMART Play System is built around the LEGO SMART Brick — a component packed with over twenty patented technologies that lets finished builds respond to play through light, sound, motion, and sensing. There is no screen required. Builders can feed their Pikachu using a LEGO SMART Tag attached to a brick-built sandwich, or tickle their Charizard to trigger a reaction. The more players interact, the stronger the in-play bond grows — eventually unlocking battle mode against friends and family.
Key distinction: All-in-One sets include at least one SMART Brick, SMART Charger, and SMART Tags — everything needed to start playing immediately. Compatible sets expand the experience with additional SMART Tags but require an existing SMART Brick from an All-in-One set.
