Mcdonalds & Pokemon 2026

Anyone else hear about McDonald’s releasing Pokemon cards in the uk, to celebrate the 30th anniversary ! .. They suggest that with 15 cards to collect between 15th of May - 17th of June 2026 that a 4 Pokemon pack of cards including 1 holo will be available inside the childrens happy meals ! .. They suggest that they could also sell packs for as little as 99p individually, while stocks last ! .. As a new collector, does this make sense to check these cards out ?

A lot of McDonalds have really cracked down on selling extra packs which makes collecting the set naturally a bit of a challenge. The last set release, I got as many as 4 packs in a visit with additional purchase but some are strictly 1 per person. It really depends on your area.

I just assume it’s more ugly bulk cards. Nothing has surpassed the 2002 JP Mcdonald’s cards.

They never will because that’s not TPCi’s goal, so it’s best to move on from expecting that. Bulk cards are a low cost entry point for the target demographic of Happy Meal purchases to enjoy
