Trainers, clear your shelves and get your wallets ready because the ultimate dream collaboration is continuing. LEGO and Pokémon have just pulled back the curtain on a massive new wave of sets dropping later this year, and to say it is a game-changer would be a massive understatement.
Not only are we getting stunning, high-end display models of some fan-favorite Pokémon, but this wave marks the absolute historic debut of traditional, human Pokémon Trainer minifigures. We are talking Red, Professor Oak, and more, built in classic LEGO style.
From massive centerpieces to pocket-sized accessories, here is a complete breakdown of the entire wave, ranked from the ultimate premium showstoppers to the most affordable entry points.

This is the crown jewel of the entire wave. It is a massive, life-sized Poké Ball on a textured grass display stand that opens up to reveal a phenomenal, two-level interior diorama. The top half contains a beautifully detailed build of Professor Oak’s research lab, while the bottom half opens up into a classic grassy battle field. Best of all, this set includes the historic first-ever human Pokémon minifigures: Red, Professor Oak, and a Picnicker, alongside adorable Pikachu and Eevee figures. It is the ultimate nostalgia trip and a masterpiece for collectors.
