LEGO Reveals New Pokémon Munchlax, Rayquaza, Arcanine Sets

Leaked images have revealed new LEGO Pokémon sets, including builds for Munchlax, Rayquaza, and Arcanine, scheduled for a worldwide release on August 1, 2026. This new wave follows the recent announcement of the "SMART Play" lineup and signifies a continued expansion of the LEGO Group's partnership with The Pokémon Company.

The Munchlax set is particularly noted for its design, which community reactions describe as clean and accurate, deviating from the blockier "SMART Play" aesthetic. This focus on a more detailed and display-ready model suggests a target audience of collectors. The set aims to capture Munchlax's characteristic lethargic demeanor and rounded shape, making it a desirable item for display.

In addition to Munchlax, the upcoming wave includes builds for Arcanine and Rayquaza. The Rayquaza set is highlighted as a historic release because it will feature the first human Pokémon character minifigure: Zinnia, the Lorekeeper from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. This inclusion marks a significant development in the LEGO Pokémon line, potentially appealing to fans of the video games as well as collectors of the Pokémon figures.
