McDonald’s Pokémon 2025 Happy Meal Collaboration

January 25, 2025 – From January 21st to late February, McDonalds customers can find a surprise in their happy meals: 4 Pokémon TGC cards!

Pokémon fans will be ecstatic to hear that they can collect a booster pack containing 4 Pokémon TGC with every McDonald’s Happy Meal.

From Pikachu and Eevee to Dragapult and Rayquaza, hungry customers will be able to collect 15 Happy Meal exclusive cards in this limited-time collaboration.

“Soar high with a 4-card Pokémon TCG booster and a sticker activity sheet,” Pokémon writes on their official website. They also mention that customers in the United States will have an additional prize to collect with their Happy Meals. Besides 4 cards, they can also receive 24-pack hourglasses and 12 wonder hourglasses for the mobile app ‘Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket’ if they use the McDonald’s app to purchase their Happy Meals.

McDonald’s Pokémon 2025 Card Value

The excitement around this exclusive and limited-time collaboration between McDonald’s and Pokémon has made customers curious about the value of these Pokémon cards. According to Dexerto, seven out of the fifteen cards are identified as McDonald’s promo cards due to their unique holo backgrounds. The cards with these holo backgrounds are often valued higher. The highest-valued card in the promotion according to Dexerto is Hydreigon valued at $7.00.

It seems, however, that the booster packs are being sold for much more money online. According to GameRant, some large-scale collections are going for up to $1,000.

McDonald’s Pokémon Foul Play

Unfortunately, some Pokémon fans were disappointed when they found their Happy Meals missing the promised Pokémon booster pack. A GameRant article reported that a parent found the Little Green Frog book in their Happy Meal – another promotional toy from McDonald’s – instead of the Pokémon cards. The parent suspected foul play which falls in line with other Pokémon craze stories.

For good or for worse, it seems the little Pocket Monsters are too cool to resist.
