McDonald’s extremely popular Pokemon Happy Meals are back again.
American restaurants began selling limited-time themed Happy Meals on Tuesday and will continue to offer them while supplies last, the fast-food giant said.
“There’s nothing more exciting than being able to bring campaigns to our fans with partners we’re fans of,” McDonald’s senior marketing director Guillaume Huin said in a statement. “Similar to McDonald’s, our fans have a deep nostalgia and love for the Pokemon brand.”
Those who order Happy Meals “will have the chance to discover a variety of Pokemon, including the favorite Dragon-type Pokemon,” according to McDonald’s.

This will be possible thanks to the Pokemon trading card game’s “booster” pack of four cards that accompany the Happy Meals, along with a poster and stickers.

Through a collaboration with Pokemon Company International, the fast food giant said there are 15 different Pokemon trading cards – each depicting a different Pokemon – that Happy Meal customers can get.

McDonald’s customers can also expect Happy Meal boxes to carry Pokemon. Three versions of the boxes feature one Pokemon – Charizard, Rayquaza or Roaring Moon – while the other features Pikachu and Dragonite, McDonald’s said.

The fast food giant has paired up Happy Meals with Pokemon cards multiple times in the past. For example, in 2021, companies gave out packs of Pokemon trading cards in Happy Meals with Pikachu on the boxes to commemorate Pokemon’s 25th anniversary, Fox News Digital reported.
