BILLUND, DENMARK, August 6, 2026: The LEGO Group has revealed that Terry Crews and Finn Wolfhard have taken their careers in a new direction, becoming LEGO Pokémon Trainers.

Both Terry and Finn teased an upcoming battle on their social channels, surprising everyone with their chosen LEGO Pokémon partners. For the epic battle, Finn selected his trusted Charizard, while Terry opted for an unexpected pick; the one and only, Jigglypuff. Rumours say this may be a calculated strategic move to throw Finn off his game.

“Terry is an amazing actor, but he won’t be acting surprised when me and my LEGO Charizard beat them. I’ve trained Charizard almost every day to be the best – we’re ready, bring it on!” Finn tried to rattle his rival Trainer before the epic battle showdown.

Terry’s response was quick and stern, “Beat us? Trust me, if there is one person on this planet who knows something about training – it’s me! Anyway, it’s not all train, train, train. My LEGO Jigglypuff has been loved and nurtured by yours truly. We’re tighter than tight, and you know that unbreakable bond will make us stronger than ever in battle.”

Both celebrity  Trainers seem excited for the ultimate clash of “dreamy cuteness” vs “blazing fury”. The outcome will depend not on strong words, but on their mastery of proper training and bonding with their LEGO Pokémon partners.

The question is… which team are you on? To watch the premiere of the battle and see who comes out on top, tune into LEGO.com/Social-Poke at 4pm CEST on August 8!
