McDonald's Launches New Pokémon Happy Meal Featuring Toys and Trading Cards
The latest promotion brings fifteen collectible miniature toys and trading cards to participating restaurants worldwide.
McDonald's and The Pokémon Company have teamed up once again to launch a new Pokémon-themed Happy Meal promotion. The latest offering introduces a collection of fifteen miniature toys and fifteen Pokémon Trading Card Game cards for fans and collectors to discover.
According to corporate announcements, the miniature toys include popular characters such as Pikachu, Eevee, Charmander, Squirtle, Rowlet, Sprigatito, and Umbreon. The toys are uniquely designed to look like miniature Happy Meal boxes. Additionally, the meal packaging itself features three distinct designs inspired by Pikachu, Umbreon, and Torchic.
Each meal includes one toy and two trading card game cards, with seven of the fifteen cards featuring a foil finish. Furthermore, the Happy Meal boxes feature a printed QR code that directs customers to an interactive digital game. In this online experience, players can search through a virtual classroom and playground to hunt for the fifteen featured toys.
The international rollout reaches multiple countries this month, including Australia, Canada, Fiji, France, New Zealand, and Spain, with additional regions scheduled to follow through February 2027. In Canada, the promotion is scheduled to run through November 30, 2026, at participating locations.
Regional variations apply to the promotion. In Canada, customers in Quebec will not receive the miniature box toys due to regional differences. Instead, fans in that province will receive a Pokémon sticker alongside a booster pack containing four Pokémon Trading Card Game cards.
This new promotion follows other recent high-profile collaborations at McDonald's, which previously offered the SpongeBob x One Piece Happy Meal with fifteen toys and the Hello Kitty & Friends x Godzilla Happy Meal featuring eight toys.
The fast-food chain and The Pokémon Company had initially outlined a card promotion tied to Pokémon's upcoming 30th anniversary, updating start dates and card counts for the meals as the rollout commenced.
