Pokemon x McDonald's November 2026 Promo: Every Card Revealed

All 15 Cards From Pokemon's Next McDonald's Promo Revealed, And Still No Burgerchu Published Oct 29, 2026, 6:49 AM EDT Josh Coulson is an editor at TheGamer covering breaking news on everything from colorful platformers to the latest Lego sets.

Pokemon cards are coming back to McDonald’s in the US next month, and with preparations for the promo falling into place, details regarding what it will include are starting to leak. That includes a first look at all 15 of the cards fast food fans will be tasked with collecting once they find their way into Happy Meals this November. Pokemon Cards Return To McDonald's The cards included in McDonald’s promos are typically reprints that have already been released as part of proper expansions. That’s why, even though the tweaked McDonald’s versions with the restaurant’s stamp on them haven’t been spotted, as soon as the card names are out in the wild, collectors can figure out which cards will be a part of the promotion. Some of the cards will also have a confetti holofoil variant, although which ones will be getting that treatment isn’t yet clear. PokeTCGAlerts has shared a full list of the 15 cards getting McDonald’s reprints. There is, of course, a Pikachu card in there, and based on prior promos, I’d bet a Big Mac on that being one of the cards that gets a confetti version. Unfortunately, there’s still no sign of the Burgerchu card that remains exclusive to a single Pokemon x McDonald’s promo in Japan. So far, the only example of a card that wasn’t simply a reprint available elsewhere that’s been included in a McDonald’s promo was the 2025 Burgerchu card. The original artwork featured Pikachu reaching for a burger on a table. It led to the promotion getting quickly canceled as scalpers bought Happy Meals in bulk to get the card, littering the streets outside McDonald’s restaurants with the food they didn’t want. All 15 Cards You'll Need To Collect Early rumors surrounding the set suggested it would include Palafin, Metagross, and Hawlucha cards. Turns out those rumors are true, with all three Pokemon among the 15 cards. Eevee, Mimikyu, Snorlax, and Lucario have also made the cut, ensuring there are plenty of Pokemon in there that even the most casual of Pokemon fans will recognize when they pull cards out of their Happy Meals. There need to be some slightly deeper cuts in there too, to appeal to the more hardcore fans and to pique the interest of those casual ones, potentially convincing them to buy more cards or even pick up one of the newer Pokemon games. Those deeper cuts include Decidueye, Zoroark, Tyranitar, Absol, Wooloo, Jirachi, and Chandelure. The full list of cards you’ll need to collect to complete the collection can be found below. Pikachu Eevee Snorlax Tyranitar Absol Mimikyu Hawlucha Palafin Zoroark Chandelure Jirachi Wooloo Metagross Lucario Decidueye The promo will begin on November 10 in the US (November 3 in Canada, November 5 in Australia), and there will be more than just cards to collect. Each Happy Meal will also come with a miniature Happy Meal box toy modeled after a different Pokemon. There will be 15 of those to collect too, and the Pokemon represented don’t match up with the ones that are included among the 15 cards.
