Get ready, Pokemon trainers, because McDonald’s is once again teaming up with the beloved franchise for an exciting new set of Pokemon trading cards to be featured in Happy Meals for 2023!
For the past couple of years, McDonald’s has delighted fans with special Pokemon trading card promotions during the summer. And this year is no exception! Starting from July in McDonald’s restaurants across Germany and Austria, and in August in the UK, fans can get their hands on 15 new Pokemon cards through their Happy Meals. The release date for the US and other countries is yet to be unveiled, but we’re crossing our fingers that they’ll be joining in on the fun in August too!
The Pokemon cards in this promotion are inspired by the thrilling Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games. So, collectors and players alike can look forward to adding some fantastic new characters to their decks. The cards in question are Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly, Cetoddle, Cetitan, Pikachu, Pawmi, Kilowattrel, Flittle, Sandaconda, Klawf, Blissey, Tandemaus, Cyclizar, and Kirlia.
Now, here’s the deal: with every Happy Meal purchase, you’ll receive four cards, including one holo card. The real gems among the holo cards are the starters from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Sprigaito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly, along with Cetitan, Pikachu, and Klawf. To complete the holo set, you’ll need to grab at least six Happy Meals. But, let’s be honest, most of us will probably end up buying a whole bunch more to catch ’em all!
The timing of this promotion couldn’t be better, as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have two exciting DLC expansions coming later this year. It’s a brilliant move to get fans hyped up about these games by bringing back the ever-popular McDonald’s Pokemon promotion.
As always, these Pokemon card promotions cause a frenzy among fans, and supplies tend to fly off the shelves. Don’t be surprised if you see these exclusive cards popping up on online marketplaces at insane prices!
So, mark your calendars, keep an eye out for the release date in your country, and get ready to embark on another Pokemon adventure with McDonald’s Happy Meals! Gotta collect ’em all!
