Pokemon cards are coming back to McDonald’s in the US next month, and with preparations for the promo falling into place, details regarding what it will include are starting to leak. That includes a first look at all 15 of the cards fast food fans will be tasked with collecting once they find their way into Happy Meals this November.
The cards included in McDonald’s promos are typically reprints that have already been released as part of proper expansions. That’s why, even though the tweaked McDonald’s versions with the restaurant’s stamp on them haven’t been spotted, as soon as the card names are out in the wild, collectors can figure out which cards will be a part of the promotion.
Some of the cards will also have a confetti holofoil variant, although which ones will be getting that treatment isn’t yet clear.
PokeTCGAlerts has shared a full list of the 15 cards getting McDonald’s reprints. There is, of course, a Pikachu card in there, and based on prior promos, I’d bet a Big Mac on that being one of the cards that gets a confetti version. Unfortunately, there’s still no sign of the Burgerchu card that remains exclusive to a single Pokemon x McDonald’s promo in Japan.
So far, the only example of a card that wasn’t simply a reprint available elsewhere that’s been included in a McDonald’s promo was the 2025 Burgerchu card. The original artwork featured Pikachu reaching for a burger on a table. It led to the promotion getting quickly canceled as scalpers bought Happy Meals in bulk to get the card, littering the streets outside McDonald’s restaurants with the food they didn’t want.
