LEGO is incorporating its new interactive element, Smart Play, into upcoming Pokémon sets. Smart Play utilizes the Smart Brick to produce sound and light effects in response to certain conditions. Fans recently got a sneak peek at how Smart Play will be integrated into various Pokémon sets through leaked images shared by Brick Tap.

Among the leaked sets are Cubone and Gengar's Spooky Showdown, featuring blocky builds for the two Pokémon and four Smart Tags for interaction. Jigglypuff Concert includes a Smart Tag for Jigglypuff, accompanied by speakers and a microphone. Another set, Charmander and Geodude's Cavern Clash, includes two blocky builds and Smart Tags for each creature. The Charizard vs Jolteon Ultimate Battle set boasts two Smart Bricks and four Smart Tags for interactive gameplay.

These sets are part of a lineup of LEGO Pokémon sets expected to launch this summer, with some including the Smart Brick. Fans may need to acquire a Smart Brick separately to enjoy the Smart Play features in other sets, although sets without the Smart Brick are anticipated to be more affordable. The TIE-Fighter set, priced at $69.99, currently offers the most cost-effective way to obtain a Smart Brick.
