Summer 2026 will see LEGO Stores transform into real-life IRL arenas for trainers, featuring a special Pikachu. The goal: to secure a series of exclusive rewards, both in-game and in physical stores. From August 3 to September 30, 2026, the Pokémon GO LEGO event will take place in a selection of LEGO Stores in France, Europe, the United States, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Australia. Permanent 1-star raids, a new "Stamp Rally," stickers, and a dedicated avatar item are on the agenda. Here's how this crossover works and how to unlock everything before the campaign ends.

This Pikachu can appear shiny and, more importantly, with an exclusive LEGO-themed background, visible in its profile, which will interest collectors of rare visuals. The stores also transform into sponsored PokéStops, necessary to access the event's special quests. By spinning the PhotoDisc of these PokéStops, you activate the "Chasse aux tampons," or Stamp Rally. Each stamp obtained feeds into the app's Scrapbook, the new souvenir notebook, and unlocks an encounter with a Pikachu with a LEGO background, indicated by a stamp icon above it. These entries remain visible...
