Fans eagerly awaiting the return of Pokémon cards in McDonald’s Happy Meals can rejoice—Pokémon’s Dragon Discovery cards are officially coming to the US! Following months of speculation and an earlier release in France, the promotion kicks off on January 21, 2025.
According to PokeBeach, the Dragon Discovery collection will feature 15 cards, with the promotion running until February 24, 2025. Each Happy Meal will include one booster pack containing four cards, one of which will be a holographic card. Don’t miss your chance to collect them all during this limited-time collaboration!
Despite transitioning from the Year of the Dragon to the Year of the Snake, Dragon-type Pokémon are taking center stage in this year’s McDonald’s Pokémon Happy Meal set. Fans can look forward to iconic Dragon-types like Drampa, Hydreigon, and the ever-popular Dragonite, making this set an exciting treat for Pokémon enthusiasts.
Don’t Panic, Pokemon’s Latest McDonald’s Crossover Is Coming To The US
15 Cards To Collect Starting From January 21
As with every McDonald’s Pokémon card promotion, the cards included are reprints from previous sets. However, they feature unique McDonald’s numbering, making them distinct from their original counterparts. The collection includes seven holo cards, all printed on the signature confetti holofoil paper that Pokémon exclusively uses for its McDonald’s shiny cards. In total, there are 15 cards to collect. Below is the full list for you to reference as you hunt for them!
- Charizard
- Pikachu (holo)
- Miraidon (holo)
- Jigglypuff
- Hatenna
- Dragapult
- Quagsire
- Koraidon (holo)
- Umbreon
- Hydreigon (holo)
- Roaring Moon (holo)
- Dragonite (holo)
- Eevee
- Rayquaza
- Drampa (holo)
For fans of more than just the collectible cards, McDonald’s latest Pokémon promotion offers an exciting bonus: four brand-new Happy Meal box designs. Each box features one of the iconic Pokémon—Charizard, Dragonite, Rayquaza, or Roaring Moon. Along with the meal, you’ll also receive a fun-filled package, including a poster and a sheet of stickers. The posters even have designated spots where you can place the stickers, making this a delightful experience for Pokémon enthusiasts of all ages!
Let’s hope that Pokémon fans, many of whom might be a bit beyond the typical Happy Meal age, don’t overshadow this promotion for the kids it’s meant to delight. Collectors are bound to be eager to snag the entire set, especially given the high demand for Pokémon cards. For instance, the TCG’s Journey Together set sold out almost instantly, and its Elite Trainer Boxes are already appearing on resale platforms with price tags in the hundreds of dollars.
