McDonald's announces new Happy Meals with Pokémon collectible cards for 2026-2027

McDonald's is preparing to launch a new limited-time offer related to the Pokémon franchise. Each Happy Meal sold as part of this promotion will include two cards from the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG).

Cards and set features

The collection comprises 15 unique cards in total, seven of which feature a foil finish. Set owners will be able to discover various variants of these game elements.
