Pokémon Cards Set to Return in McDonald’s Happy Meals by 2026
Excitement is brewing among Pokémon fans as it has been confirmed that Pokémon cards will return to McDonald’s Happy Meals in 2026. This promotion will run from February to March, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the beloved Pokémon franchise. Gaming websites, including Pokébeach, have reported this highly anticipated collaboration.
Details of the Pokémon Cards Promotion
The McDonald’s and Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) promotion will offer a unique experience for customers. Each Happy Meal will include:
- One 4-card booster pack.
- One holographic card.
- Three non-holographic cards.
The set will consist of 15 cards, of which six will feature holographic designs printed on confetti holofoil. It’s important to note that these cards are typically reprints, maintaining the nostalgic charm for collectors and fans.
Previous Promotions and Expectations
This upcoming promotion follows a successful initiative from earlier this year in Japan, where a Pikachu promotional card featured exclusive artwork. While there is a possibility that this card might be released in English, the details remain uncertain due to the overwhelming demand and previous chaotic releases.
As the launch date approaches, fans eagerly anticipate more details about what will be included in the new set. This partnership between McDonald’s and Pokémon promises to be a delightful addition for both Happy Meal enthusiasts and Pokémon collectors alike.
