The 15 toys
Each toy is a tiny Happy Meal box decorated as a Pokémon, made to clip on a bag as a charm:
Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Eevee, Umbreon, Weedle, Torchic, Piplup, Munchlax, Minccino, Espurr, Rowlet, Sobble and Sprigatito.
The Happy Meal boxes themselves are also Pokémon-themed: Pikachu, Umbreon or Torchic.
In Quebec, kids get a Pokémon sticker and a 4-card booster pack instead of the toy, according to Pokémon's Canadian announcement reported by Daily Hive.
McDonald's Pokémon card list 2026
Each toy comes with 2 random cards from a 15-card set with 7 holos: Decidueye, Chandelure (holo), Palafin (holo), Pikachu (holo), Mimikyu (holo), Lucario (holo), Hawlucha, Tyranitar (holo), Absol, Zoroark, Metagross, Jirachi (holo), Eevee, Snorlax and Wooloo. See every card in the card checklist.
Seen a list with Bulbasaur, Raichu and Gengar? That is a different 15-card set marked M27 that showed up early on Pokémon's US site. It has a 2027 date and doesn't match the November 2026 Happy Meal material, so it looks like a future promo, not this one.
Can adults buy the Pokémon Happy Meal?
Yes, anyone can order a Happy Meal. McDonald's hasn't shared limits for 2026. In 2021, when Pokémon cards caused shortages and resellers bought them in bulk, McDonald's asked restaurants to set limits, so expect some stores to do the same.
Tips for collecting
- Go early in the week of November 10. Popular toys like Pikachu and Eevee go first
- Ask for a specific toy. Some restaurants will swap if they have it
- Cards are random, so trading with friends is the easiest way to finish the set
