McDonald’s and The Pokemon Company International announced that Happy Meals in the US will feature Pokemon Trading Card Game cards. These will begin appearing in late February 2025, though there is no exact date yet. It will also be accompanied by a promotion tied to the Pokemon TCG Pocket and app purchases.
When people buy the Happy Meal, they will get a pack of four themed cards. There will also be a sheet of stickers with it. Some of the included cards will feature characters like Charizard, Dragonite, Eevee, Hatenna, Jigglypuff, Koraidon, Miraidon, Pikachu, and Umbreon. These will be “legal” cards that you can use in decks and official matches.
Here are 15 of the Pokemon cards teased for the promotion:
As for the special bonus for Pokemon TCG Pocket, that kicks off at the end of February as well. People who buy a Happy Meal will also get a 24-pack of Hourglasses and 12 Wonder Hourglasses with their meal.
This McDonald’s Happy Meal collection isn’t the only big development for the Pokemon Trading Card Game. The Prismatic Evolutionsexpansion is out now, and high demand has led to availability issues for it. Trading and more boosters are also headed to Pokemon TCG Pocket.
The Pokemon Trading Card Game Happy Meal will be at McDonald’s in the US in late February 2025. Pokemon TCG Pocket is available on mobile devices.
