McDonald’s extremely popular Pokemon Happy Meals have made a comeback.
American restaurants began selling the limited-time themed Happy Meals on Tuesday and will continue to offer them while supplies last, the fast-food giant said.
“There is nothing more exciting than when we can bring campaigns to our fans with partners who are fans ourselves,” McDonald’s senior marketing director Guillaume Huin said in a statement. “Like McDonald’s, our fans have a deep nostalgia and love for the Pokémon brand.”
Those who order the Happy Meals “will have the opportunity to discover different Pokémon, including fan-favorite Dragon-type Pokémon,” according to McDonald’s.

This will be possible thanks to the four-card Pokemon trading card game “booster” pack that accompanies the Happy Meals, along with a poster and stickers.

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

McDonald’s customers can also expect the Happy Meal boxes themselves to have Pokemon on them. Three versions of the boxes have a Pokemon – Charizard, Rayquaza or Roaring Moon – while another bears the image of Pikachu and Dragonite, McDonald’s said.

The fast-food giant has paired up Happy Meals with Pokemon cards many times in the past. In 2021, for example, companies distributed Pokémon trading card packs in Happy Meals that had Pikachu on the boxes to commemorate Pokémon’s 25th anniversary. Fox News Digital reported.
