Tom Fans of Pokémon will want to take notice because the highly anticipated Pokémon Happy Meals are back at McDonald’s Canada!
The new limited-time only promotion released on Tuesday, November 3rd in Canada and sparked a wave of fans visiting their local McDonald’s restaurant to catch their favourite Pokémon characters.
Rumours were long swirling about a big Pokémon McDonald’s Happy Meal campaign this year for the popular franchises 30th anniversary. McDonald’s did not disappoint by releasing the biggest and best Pokémon Happy Meal to date.
What’s included with the Pokémon Happy Meal?
Included with each Pokémon Happy Meal is one exclusive Pokémon toy. There are a total of 15 toys to collect, and they’re each shaped like little Happy Meal boxes combined with fan favourite Pokémon character designs. They make the perfect display piece for your collectibles shelf, or you can hang them on your bag using the built in clip on the back.
With each toy you’ll also receive two (2) exclusive Pokémon cards for even more playtime fun. There are 15 exclusive cards in total, including holographic cards.
The Happy Meal toy boxes are all coloured individually to help you make identifying and catching your faves easier. The cards inside are random though, so it will be a little harder to collect all of those.
Besides the toys, there are also 3 Pokémon themed Happy Meal boxes, headbands, activity sheets, and other in-restaurant promotional elements to enjoy.
How long is the Pokémon Happy Meal here for?
Typical Happy Meal promotions run for 4-6 weeks or “while supplies last”. Given the popularity of Pokémon’s, it’s very possible that the toys may run out sooner.
My suggestion would be to get out early and often to catch all the toys you want while they’re still available.
What’s coming next for Happy Meals?
It’s always fun trying to guess what the next Happy Meal promotion will be! While no announcement has yet been made for what Happy Meal campaign will follow up Pokémon, given the timing, it’s possible it may be a Christmas/Holidays themed release.
