The Pokémon Go Lego Store event is running between 3rd August and 30th September.
The Lego collaboration - which is featured at select Lego Stores in the UK, US, Australia, Poland, France and Germany - features a Pikachu raid encounter with a Lego Special Background, Timed Research, a Stamp Rally, and Lego stickers.
This guide explains all Pokémon Go Lego Store locations, Lego Timed Research, and how the Lego Pikachu raid works.

How does the Lego background Pikachu raid work?
At each participating store with be a Gym hosting a raid with a Lego background Pikachu.
Similar to the ongoing National Trust event, this raid will run between 10am and 6pm each day, meaning you have only one chance at getting the Lego background Pikachu per day. (On the bright side, this means it won't be disrupted by Raid Hours or other activities.)
Also, know that:
- There is a chance the Pikachu can be shiny
- The Pikachu can evolve into Raichu
- Raids are local only (you cannot Remote Raid into one)
For those who attended Go Fest Copenhagen in June, know that the background is the same. Here's how it looks in motion:
Pokémon Go Lego Stamp Rally and Smart Play demo
As well as the above:
- Upon spinning a PokéStop at the store, you'll begin a Lego Stamp Rally, where you can earn more stamps by visiting further stores, each rewarding a Pikachu with a Lego Background encounter.
- You can see what a Stamp Rally looks like with the following video from Go Fest Copenhagen:
- As well as the above CAP promo code, featur five of each standard Berry, and 10 Poké Balls: LEGOxPOKEMONGOxBERRIES

- Finally, these participating stores will host a Lego Pokémon SMART Play demo, showing off the SMART Brick functionality of the new sets. Doing so sees you receive "a unique collectible SMART Play Tag and a special stamp for [your] LEGO Passport", all while stocks last.
This is the second Pokémon Go collaboration with Lego this year - the first being at Go Fest Copenhagen. You can read exactly what was featured in the following article:
