McDonald’s has launched a new Pokémon Happy Meal promotion that includes a sizablePokémon TCG Pocketreward. Starting today, McDonald’s restaurants across the US are launching a new Happy Meal promotion featuring physical Pokémon cards. As in past years, the promotion will feature mini-packs of Pokémon cards along with some bonus prizes for kids. The set is made up of reprints although some use a special holofoil pattern exclusive to Happy Meal promotions.
As part of the new promotion,Pokémon TCG Pocketplayers can earn 24 Pack Hourglasses and 12 Wonder Hourglasses by ordering a Happy Meal through the McDonald’s app. By ordering a Happy Meal through the app, players will receive a code that can be used inPokémon TCG Pocketto unlock the rewards. While users can receive multiple codes,eachPokémon TCG Pocketaccount can only redeem one code.To receive the codes, McDonald’s app users must opt in for emails in the app.

This year’s McDonald’sHappy Meal promotionis focused on Dragon-type Pokémon. In addition to about half of the cards in the new promotion featuring Dragon-type Pokémon, the new promotion will also feature four different Happy Meal boxes,each of which has a Dragon-type (or Dragon-type adjacent) Pokémon. The new boxes include Dragonite and Pikachu, Charizard, Rayquaza, and Roaring Moon. The new promotion also includes several posters and sticker puzzles where users can fill in the missing parts of certain Pokémon using stickers.
Pokémon TCG Makes Big Change to Prismatic Evolutions Pull Rates
The newest Pokémon Trading Card Game set Prismatic Evolutions has significantly better pull rates than previous sets.
WhilePokémoncards are currentlyin hot demand, keep in mind that most of these cards will be worthless in the open market. While it’s probably worth buying a Happy Meal just for thePokémon TCG Pocketrewards (especially since those rewards are the equivalent of therecent SP Emblem event’smission rewards),keep in mind that the cards in the Happy Meal won’t have any valueunless you’re a collector or have a kid that just likes the cards.
Our Take: An Actual Reason To Use The McDonald’s App
McDonald’s has pushed their new app for a while, but this might be the impetus for me to start using it. It’s hard to pass up on two freePokémon TCG Pocketpacks and some Wonder Hourglasses, especially asa new set is likely to come out sometime this month.
I usually save the Happy Meals for the kids, but I guess I’ll either have to find an excuse for my family to go to McDonald’s, or I’ll just need to bite the bullet, download the McDonald’s app and get those sweetPokémon TCG Pocketrewards for myself.
