LEGO Pokémon SMART Play 72166 Cubone and Gengar’s Spooky Showdown

Model Overview

LEGO Pokemon SMART Play: Cubone and Gengar’s Spooky Showdown is a brick building set for fans who want an interactive, character-led build with plenty of play value. Designed for ages 8 and over, it combines two well-known Pokemon figures with a spooky challenge setup, making it a strong choice for hobbyists looking for a fun display piece as well as a hands-on build and play model.

Built around Cubone and Gengar, the set centres on a ruin-style scene where training, battling and treasure-hunting all come into play. It is a SMART Play compatible set, and can activate sounds and lights when used with a LEGO SMART Brick from an All-in-One set sold separately. The SMART Brick is not included, so the model can be enjoyed as a build and display set straight away, with extra interactive functions available if you already own the required brick.

Construction Features

The set includes 782 pieces and 2 figures, giving builders a satisfying project with enough detail to make the scene feel lively on display. The action is driven by simple mechanical interactions: hit the plate on the tree to begin training, place a Pokemon on the platform, then strike both targets with the Ultra Ball to make the guarding Pokemon fall and reveal a treasure chest.

Several features add movement and character to the build. Gengar’s tongue can be moved with a lever, while the included SMART Tags in Cubone and Gengar help trigger the set’s interactive functions when paired with the compatible SMART Brick.

Display & Collection

This is a strong display model for Pokemon collectors and brick-building enthusiasts alike. The abandoned ruin setting, treasure reveal and ghostly challenge give the build a clear theme, while the familiar look of Cubone and Gengar makes the scene instantly recognisable. It offers a compact slice of Pokemon action that works well as a collectible feature piece between play sessions.
