The Pokemon Company and McDonald’s have confirmed they are once again collaborating for Pokemon themed Happy Meals in 2026.

The collab this year is set to run from November 5th to December 9th 2026 in the US, with the dates for other countries yet to be confirmed. Like previous years, it will include a set of 15 trading cards distributed in packs of 4 with Happy Meals. The specific cards that will be included have yet to be announced a the time of this writing.

Given that Pokemon is celebrating its 30th Anniversary, many are hoping that this year’s run of the event will include some extra special cards. One hope is that it will include the exclusive Pikachu card that was released in Japan for last year’s collab, which attracted controversy when the high demand led to an extraordinary amount of food waste. Stay tuned for more details as they come.
