Niantic’s Pokémon Go has teamed up with the Lego Group to launch a global in‑store event that blends the world of Pokémon with the iconic bricks. Players can now explore participating Lego Stores worldwide to complete a special Stamp Rally, tackle timed research challenges, join raids, and even encounter a Pikachu set against a Lego‑themed backdrop—all while collecting exclusive stamps that unlock new scrapbook entries.
The collaboration is active in Lego Stores across the United Kingdom, United States, France, Germany, Poland, and Australia. A convenient map on the official Pokémon Go website lets players verify whether their local store is part of the event.
The centerpiece of the partnership is the Stamp Rally. When a player spins a PokéStop or Gym that features a stamp icon, they receive a collectible stamp. Once the stamp is acquired, the icon changes to a checkmark, and the new stamp appears in the player’s scrapbook, where they can review all previous rally achievements.
For this collaboration, Niantic will introduce new PokéStops inside participating Lego Stores. After spinning the stamp‑bearing stop, players will be rewarded with a Pikachu encounter that showcases a Lego‑themed background. The Pikachu will also display a stamp icon, signaling its connection to the rally and ensuring players can easily identify the special encounter.
After you collect the exclusive stamp at a Lego Store PokéStop, the Pokémon Go and Lego Collaboration Timed Research quest will unlock automatically. You have until Wednesday, 30 September at 11:59 p.m. local time to finish it. I strongly recommend completing the quest, as it rewards a Lego‑themed jacket for your trainer avatar.
Selected Lego Stores have added a new Gym to their Pokémon Go locations, where players can battle a Pikachu raid boss. This Pikachu is a one‑star encounter, making it easy to solo, and if you capture it after the raid, its background will shift to a Lego‑inspired design.
Lego Stores are also hosting a Lego Pokémon Smart Play demo at their in‑store Trainer Centers. Participants can earn a unique Smart Play Tag and a special stamp for their Lego Passport. These Smart Tags are limited‑edition and will only be available while supplies last, and the event start times may vary by location. Check the official Lego website for the exact schedule at your local store.
