McDonald's Pokémon Happy Meal Confirmed for Nov 10 With 15 Toys and Cards
McDonald's confirms its Pokémon Happy Meal for November 10, 2026 in the US, with 15 toys and 15 trading cards. Card list and dates elsewhere are still unconfirmed.
McDonald's has made it official: the Pokémon Happy Meal returns to participating US restaurants on November 10, 2026, with 15 collectible toys and 15 collectible trading cards to chase. After weeks of leaked photos, the only thing left to guess is how many Happy Meals a full set will cost you.
What McDonald's has confirmed
McDonald's own menu announcement lists the date and the two collections:
- Date: November 10, 2026, at participating McDonald's restaurants in the US
- Collectibles: 15 toys and 15 trading cards
- Pokémon named: Pikachu, Eevee, Charmander, Squirtle and Umbreon, among others
- Bonus: a QR code on the box opens a game where you look for the 15 toys hidden around a virtual classroom and playground
Toys and cards: what is reported
Each meal reportedly comes with one toy and 2 random cards, in a mini Happy Meal box. Reports list the 15 toys as Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Eevee, Weedle, Torchic, Sobble, Umbreon, Espurr, Minccino, Munchlax, Piplup, Rowlet and Sprigatito.
McDonald's has not published the card list. Names shared on social media include Metagross, Palafin and Hawlucha, so treat the card lineup as unconfirmed for now.
Pokémon Happy Meal outside the US
The official announcement covers the US only. Fan sites report a rollout in waves through February 2027, with France, Spain, Canada and Australia in November, then much of Europe, Switzerland included, in December, and the UK and Ireland in February 2027. A French report gives other dates for France (December 4, 2026 to January 21, 2027), so local dates are not settled yet.
TCGKing's take: 15 cards, 2 random ones per meal, and a box that doubles as a toy. Completionists are in for a lot of repeat visits, and outside the US, wait for your local McDonald's to confirm its dates before planning a card hunt.
What is still unknown
- Official dates for each country outside the US
- The full card list and the cards' finish
- Prices
