Do you know how many episodes ofPokemonthere are? 1,269, which you probably don’t need to be told is a lot and is almost double that ofThe Simpsons(which is the longest-running TV show, by the way). Aside from an amazing plot, a lot of action, and scenes that pull on the heartstrings, there’s just something about the Pokemon that’s impossible not to fall in love with.
With an anime that’s garnered such a fan base, tons of merchandise is expected: enter, Mega Pokemon Building Sets (they’re like Nanoblocks, but much bigger). If you’re looking for the best Pokemon Mega sets in 2024, we’ve curated a list of ones you can’t miss out on. Ready to catch them all? Or collect them, rather. Let’s begin!
Mega Forest Pokemon Center Set
Everyone loves Nurse Joy!
This Pokemon set features the iconic Pokemon Center and is built using 648 pieces, as well as four Pokemon. These Pokemon include Pikachu, Eevee, Chansey, and Togepi, from the original Pokemon series. It uses Motion Bricks, so you may replicate the process of Pokemon being healed.
Chansey is hands down the mascot of the Pokemon Center, and this set allows you to, with the Motion Bricks, heal Pokemon yourself! The Pokemon themselves, specifically Pikachu and Evee, have movable joints so that they can be placed in a variety of positions. Plus, this set is part of the Adventure Builder sets, which all connect together.
Mega Holiday Pokemon Train Set
Did somebody say choo-choo?
Another set you might need to complete your collection of original Pokemon is the Holiday Train set, which comes with 373 bricks. There are, of course, four buildable Pokemon included: Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle. The pieces in this building set are also compatible with the Forest Pokémon Center above.
Trains are an important part of the Pokemon universe and allow travel between regions. This set is a great starting point for a collection as it contains four iconic Pokemon, including Pikachu in a Christmas hat; how cute! The Mega Pokemon in this set, and any other buildable set, can be positioned anywhere on the train.
Mega Pokemon Jumbo Eevee Set
How would you evolve Eevee?
This Mega Pokemon set features the classic Eevee everyone knows and loves. Once completed using the 824 pieces, Eevee will stand at more than 11 inches tall. The buildable Pokemon is almost completely posable with many moveable pieces, including the tail, legs, and even ears.
Eevee is definitely a Pokemon you’ll need if you want to complete a collection of the original Pokemon. While Eevee isn’t inherently powerful, the fact this Pokemon can evolve into eight different Pokemon makes it incredibly unique. The nature of Eevee’s evolution depends on its environment and the elemental stones it’s exposed to. Did someone say they need a Mega Umbreon? And no, it doesn’tlook like this Luxray.
Mega Pokemon Bulbasaur Evolution Set
Which evolution of Bulbasaur is your favorite?
Bulbasaur is one of the most beloved Pokemon in the series, and this Mega set features all three evolution stages: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur. Not only are these scaled appropriately, but all three also consist of just 622 pieces, so they won’t take long to put together.
Bulbasaur was first introduced as the protector of lost and forgotten Pokemon, and it took a while before he fully trusted Ash. This was naturally a touching moment in the series and pulled on a few heartstrings. Of course, watching Pidgetto, Bulbasaur, and Ash defeat Team Rocket was just a bonus. Recapture that moment after assembling this Bulbasaur Evolution Set!
Mega Pokemon Charizard Set
Who’s that Pokemon? It’s Charizard!
This Charizard Mega contains 222 pieces, making it a relatively easy build. Once complete, it stands at 4 inches tall, just big enough to be noticeable but not so big that you won’t have room for it. Most of the body parts are moveable, including the wings. As an added bonus, there is fire coming from his mouth (which can be removed) and an additional Heavy Ball.
When Ash first found Charmander (before he eventually evolved into Charizard), he was left abandoned on a rock by his trainer, the poor little guy. Naturally, this led to an interesting dynamic between the two, but they eventually developed a very close bond. Watching Charmander stand up for himself against Damian, with the help of Pikachu, was definitely satisfactory.
Mega Pokemon Magikarp Evolution Set
Will you have space for this magnificent Pokemon?
Looking for a large Pokemon to add to your collection? Well, here it is, the 20-inch tall adjustable Gyarados, and it also comes with Magikarp. This Mega collectible is made using 411 pieces, which is not too difficult of a build considering its size. Each of the 12 connection points is adjustable, so you can move this massive Pokemon into any position you want on the water base that’s included with this set.
Most people disregard Magikarp, even in the Pokemon universe, not to mentionthe Pokemon TCG. But dynamite comes in small packages, as evident by this evolution into Gyarados. Have you ever wondered why Gyarados seems angry all the time? Well, imagine if all you could do was lose repeatedly until you evolve!
