McDonald's Pokémon 2026
The 2026 McDonald's × Pokémon Happy Meal tie-in: TCG card packs and toys in kids' meals, for a limited run that varies by country.
The short version: buy a Happy Meal during the promo window and you get a Pokémon toy plus a sealed mini card pack. Cards also turn up on resale sites within days — always compare a single's price to the cost of just buying the meal.
What you actually get
The promo in one look.

| Toy | One of several Pokémon figures or card-frame toys, rotating through the run |
| Availability | Runs for a limited window per country; dates differ between the US, UK, Asia and Europe |
How to complete the set cheaply
What collectors actually do.
- 1Check which week you're in
Toys and sometimes pack mixes rotate — later weeks can repeat earlier stock, so ask staff what's in the box before ordering.
- 2Buy singles for the gaps
Missing cards appear on TCGplayer, eBay and Cardmarket within days. Common singles usually cost less than one more Happy Meal.
- 3Grade nothing but the chases
Only the holo chase cards carry real resale value; the bulk of the set stays near bulk pricing once the promo ends.
Price sanity check
Before paying resale.
Sealed promo packs and the holo chase cards spike in week one, then drop hard once supply floods in. If a single costs more than the meal itself, the meal is the better buy — you get food, a toy and another sealed pack.
