LEGO Pokemon SMART Play Training House with Pikachu (72164)

Pikachu Gets a Place to Train

Training House with Pikachu builds a small Pokemon practice ground around its star rather than dropping the character into an empty display. The 400-piece scene combines a treehouse, training dummy, and bush in a model more than eight inches tall and 11 inches wide. It gives Pikachu somewhere to exercise, explore, and settle in between imagined challenges.

A Complete SMART Play Starter Set

The box contains one LEGO SMART Brick, four SMART Tags, a charger, and the Pikachu figure, so it can deliver the full interactive experience on its own. Light, sound, motion, and sensing let the build react to play without requiring a screen. The included environments and targets give those responses a natural role in a training routine.

Bonding Comes Before Battling

LEGO describes its Pokemon system in terms of becoming a trainer, and this set leans into the gentler side of that idea. Kids can learn how Pikachu responds, move through activities around the house, and invent a daily routine for their partner. That makes it distinct from the Charizard and Jolteon set, which puts its two SMART Bricks directly into a showdown.

A Friendly Door Into the System

With an age recommendation of six and a lower price than the two-Pokemon battle box, the Training House is the more approachable All-in-One starting point. It still includes the essential SMART hardware rather than relying on a separate purchase. The appeal comes from having one expressive partner and a setting that makes caring for it as important as testing its strength.
