Pokemon TCG Seems Set to Return to McDonald’s Later This Year

Pokemon TCG Seems Set to Return to McDonald's Later This Year

As a seasoned collector with memories of cracking open those shiny packs from the 1999 Pokémon craze still vividly etched in my mind, this news has me reminiscing like nothing else! The thrill of finding that rare holofoil card was an unparalleled sensation back then, and I can’t help but feel a twinge of nostalgia as McDonald’s gears up for another Pokémon trading card game promotion.


It looks like more Pokemon Trading Cards will be included in McDonald’s Happy Meals within the next few months, as reported by PokeBeach. They mention that McDonald’s locations in France are set to start a new Pokemon Trading Card Game promotion in December. Historically, France releases its Pokemon Trading Card Game promotions 1-2 months after the United States, which suggests that US McDonald’s might receive their cards by either October or November. This is slightly later than usual Pokemon card promotions, which typically occur in August, but this delay could be due to the current release of Pokemon Horizons toys in Japan this month.

McDonald’s has been collaborating annually with the Pokemon Trading Card Game since 2011. These collaborations include reprinted cards that have distinct numbering and a special confetti holofoil pattern. Although these cards aren’t meant to be collector’s items, their value has increased due to the surge in popularity of the Pokemon Trading Card Game during the pandemic. However, most cards from the 2023 set are currently being sold for approximately $1 each.

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled about the latest addition to my Pokémon Trading Card Game collection – the Shrouded Fable special set for this year, centering around Pecharunt and the Loyal Three. Exciting times are ahead with the Stellar Crown expansion on the horizon, introducing Stellar Tera-type Pokémon-ex cards to the mix. With the Pokémon World Championship just around the corner, I can hardly wait to see what fresh type of card they’ll unveil next! Rumors are swirling that it might be Partner Pokémon making a comeback or perhaps the return of Dark Pokémon. Can’t wait to find out!
