Is this the set for you?

Choose Training House with Pikachu for a first SMART Play set centered on caring for one Pokémon. It includes one SMART Brick, a charger and four SMART Tags. For two powered Pokémon in the same box, compare Charizard vs. Jolteon 72167.

A good fit for: A first SMART Play collection for ages 6+ that favors feeding and training over a two-Pokémon face-off.

Pikachu has several jobs around the house

Train with the dummy, feed Pikachu the sandwich, or hit the target with the Poké Ball to reveal a Pokémon in the tall grass. The activities make this a starter for someone interested in looking after a Pokémon as well as preparing for battle. Four SMART Tags and the supplied brick enable responsive sounds and lights.

The important comparison is one brick versus two

Pikachu's set includes one SMART Brick. Charizard vs. Jolteon 72167 includes two, allowing the pair of Pokémon to be powered together. Choose Pikachu for its house and nurturing activities; choose the larger starter when the first priority is a head-to-head encounter with two responsive characters. The adult Pikachu and Poké Ball 72152 is a display model, so it serves a different purpose.

Charging and expansion ownership

LEGO quotes approximately 45 minutes of play per charge and up to 2 hours 30 minutes to charge via the supplied SMART Charger and USB-C cable. A phone is not required during play; SMART Assist handles updates and sound controls. Older SMART Bricks need the Pokémon update, while new Pokémon All-in-One bricks work out of the box.

The 400-piece set is rated 6+. The treehouse, dummy and bush are listed at over 20 cm high, 27 cm wide and 11 cm deep. The announced launch markets are the US, UK, Germany, France, Poland and Australia; Canada is outside that rollout.
