Pokémon Go Launches LEGO Store Rewards at 200-Plus Locations Across 3 Regions

Q: What hidden surprises await collectors when the highly anticipated 2,386-piece LEGO Poké Ball drops this October?

Collectors can expect the October release to hide far more than a display shell: the adult-oriented LEGO Pokémon Iconic Trainer Moments: Poké Ball opens into a multi-level diorama packed with exclusive figures and game-inspired details. Inside the 2,386-piece set, the lower section contains a miniature battle scene, while the upper section recreates Professor Oak’s laboratory. The lab is designed with small but highly collectible touches, including a library, computer terminals, two printed Pokédex tiles, and three molded micro Poké Balls. The biggest draw for many buyers will be the character lineup. The set includes the first-ever LEGO minifigures of Red, a Picnicker, and Professor Oak, alongside specially molded Pikachu and Eevee figures. Those exclusives make the set especially significant for Pokémon and LEGO collectors alike. The model itself is also engineered as a premium display piece. The Poké Ball opens and closes with a hidden hinge mechanism and sits on a grassy stand meant to make it look as if it has just landed in battle. LEGO has positioned it as the flagship premium item in its wider Pokémon rollout. The set is due on October 1, 2026, priced at $299.99, and is already available for pre-order through LEGO’s official channels. While reports vary slightly on the exact piece count in early descriptions, the widely cited headline figure is 2,386 pieces.

More than 200 participating LEGO stores in the U.S., Europe and Australia now offer Pokémon Go bonuses, including one all-day raid per location that awards a Pikachu with a special LEGO background.
Sponsored PokéStops at those stores also drop LEGO Pokémon stickers, and players can claim the rewards simply by getting close enough to the in-game locations rather than entering the shop.
An in-game Stamp Rally unlocks near participating stores, grants another Pikachu and tracks visits across multiple LEGO locations; the UK alone has about 20 stores, including four in London.
The promotion extends bonuses first tied to Pokémon Go's Copenhagen summer events as the game marks its 10th year, ahead of its Go Fest Finale and LEGO's October 1 Pokémon set launch.
