McDonald's Launches Limited-Time Pokémon Happy Meal Promotion

The wait is almost over for Pokémon fans in the US, as McDonald's is set to launch its highly anticipated collaboration with the iconic franchise. The limited-time promotion will kick off on November 5 and run until December 9, offering customers a chance to collect exclusive Pokémon-themed Happy Meals. Each meal comes with a randomized booster pack of four Pokémon cards, including one guaranteed holo-foil card.

While the Japanese version of the collaboration offered a more extensive menu, the US version takes a more straightforward approach by featuring standard McDonald's items like burgers and nuggets. However, it's the exclusive packaging and collectible cards that make this promotion truly special. The limited-edition Pokémon boxes will set the meals apart from regular Happy Meals.

For collectors, the real prize is the booster pack of four Pokémon cards. There are 15 different cards available to pull, with six featuring a confetti holo-foil finish. Each pack guarantees one holo-foil card and three standard cards.
