The Pokémon Trading Card Game is making a highly anticipated return to McDonald’s in 2024, this time with an exciting Dragon-themed promotion that has fans buzzing. The collaboration features an exclusive 15-card set showcasing beloved Dragon-type Pokémon, including fan favorites like Charizard, Umbreon, Miraidon, Dragapult, Roaring Moon, Dragonite, and Rayquaza.

 

Each Happy Meal includes a special four-card pack featuring one guaranteed holo card and three non-holo cards. Six cards in the set will include McDonald’s signature confetti holofoil pattern to enhance the appeal for collectors, making these limited-edition cards stand out in any collection. 

 

The announcement has created quite a stir in the Pokémon community, generating both excitement and concern. Though collectors are thrilled about these exclusive cards, many worry that bulk purchases could make it difficult for children to get their hands on the special packs.

The promotion is set to launch in France from December 4, 2024, to January 21, 2025. While exact release dates for regions like the United States and the United Kingdom haven’t been confirmed yet, they are expected to follow a similar timeline. This staggered rollout could help balance demand and ensure collectors across regions have fair opportunities to participate.

 

Adding to the excitement, the promotion aligns with the Year of the Dragon, creating a thematic tie that enhances the appeal of these Dragon-type Pokémon. The carefully curated set combines classic favorites with newer additions to the Pokémon universe, ensuring a broad appeal for collectors of all ages and experience levels.

 

To stay updated, keep an eye on McDonald’s social media channels and announcements from The Pokémon Company. Whether you’re a dedicated collector or simply a Pokémon fan, these Dragon-themed Happy Meal cards offer something unique you won’t find in regular card packs. Which Pokémon are you most excited to pull from your Happy Meal?
