Packages labeled with a “2” had a scenic playmat for Pokémon stickers or figurines. Packages labeled with a “1” had a deck box (visible in the middle left of the photo) with Pikachu plus a trio of starters, which could vary from the Kanto starters to the Galar starters.
Each package included a numbered envelope (1–4) that determined what prize you got in addition to your booster pack. Photo by Tony BresnenĪn aspect that I really enjoyed about the release of this set was the packaging included with the pack in the Happy Meal®.
These 25 cards honored all of the past starter Pokémon plus the game’s iconic mascot Pikachu. Unlike past minisets, this miniset contained an enlarged number of cards-25 to be exact, appropriate for the occasion. On the TCG side of things, the celebrations began in earnest in early February when McDonald’s released their 2021 collection in honor of Pokémon’s 25th anniversary. The celebrations began at the start of 2021, which events and merchandise planned throughout the year. Celebrations Beginįor those who missed it or weren’t quite into the Pokémon TCG at the time, the 25th anniversary of Pokémon was a big deal. The 2021 miniset was based on Pokémon’s 25th-anniversary celebration and contains many iconic Pokémon. They are a promotional Happy Meal® item, generally available for about a month. McDonald’s has released a number of minisets since 2011. This miniset, released as a part of Pokémon’s 25th-anniversary celebration, was much larger than past minisets and featured many familiar faces. The last time McDonald’s released cards for the Pokémon TCG was in 2021. But just like with standard Pokémon TCG sets, there is randomness involved-so don’t ever count on pulling your favorite card out of one pack! However, unlike most modern sets of Pokémon cards, these minisets are much easier to complete due to the small number of cards in each set. Usually released once per year, Pokémon cards in Happy Meals® all follow McDonald’s’ toy schedule-once announced and released, you have about a month to collect ‘em all before they are rotated out in favor of a new toy lineup. McDonald’s has partnered with Pokémon for over a decade (going back to 2011) to provide Pokémon cards in Happy Meals®. National brick-and-mortar store chains, local card, and video game shops, and even certain grocery stores carry Pokémon cards.īut perhaps the most accessible place to get Pokémon cards is in your lunch order. Most Pokémon fans know where to get cards for their collection.
