How many people have solid information about the Rainbow Meiji stickers? I’ve recently purchased some (and wow are they mesmerizing). I don’t see very many listed on eBay and there doesn’t seem to be any info on there original release or a complete list. Anyways here’s some pics of Mew and Pika. (I snagged two Zards on there way in transit).

These were promo stickers along with the Meiji Pokemon Cocoa Milk.
There are 2 sets of these stickers, Gold and Silver.
Even though the illustration is the same in front the stats are different behind:
The back part of the sticker was basically a game of Rock-Scissors-Paper. So you don’t need to have a very strong sticker but just be lucky enough to win at Rock-Scissors-Paper and win the battle.
Also there are numbers on the bottom right of the sticker behind which indicates the total number of stickers. Not sure of this info but apparently there were 40 Gold and 20 Silver ones. Mewtwo being the last of the gold cards.
Cheers!

I’ve not come across much information without actively searching.
But this is the blog post mrbubbles is referencing:
There’s also a brief mention here (and another photo), which, again reinforces the fragility of the stickers and cautions against placing them into sleeves due to concerns of rubbing.

While not the exact box/release, this is the product released by Meiji:
You can, however, also gather more information from sold listings (YA, Mercari) and start piecing together what constitutes a set. For release information, you may also get lucky and find them advertised in past Coro Coro issues or find mentions on the web archive during that era.

If i remember correctly there’s two variants of each sticker, one with a pokeball symbol in top left corner and one where the poke ball is replaced with a type symbol, so that adds a lot to collect
