The short answer
The Pokémon Happy Meal is back at participating U.S. McDonald’s from Tuesday, Nov. 10 through Monday, Dec. 14, 2026, while supplies last.
Every meal comes with one toy, a mini Happy Meal box shaped like a Pokémon (15 in all), and two Pokémon trading cards (15 in all, seven of them foil).
You don’t know which ones you’re getting. If every toy is equally common, and neither company says, collecting all 15 by luck takes about 50 Happy Meals on average. All 15 cards: about 25.

All 15 toys
Each toy is a little Happy Meal box with a Pokémon’s face, ears or crest. The lineup mixes the classics with newer Pokémon:
In Pokémon’s order: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Weedle, Pikachu, Eevee, Umbreon, Torchic, Piplup, Munchlax, Minccino, Espurr, Rowlet, Sobble and Sprigatito.
All 15 trading cards
Two cards come in every meal. They’re real Pokémon TCG cards, numbered 001 to 015, and seven are foil. Pokémon’s page doesn’t say which seven.
Only Pikachu and Eevee appear as both a toy and a card.
How many Happy Meals does a full set take?
More than most people guess. Your first toy is always new. The last one is the problem: when you’re missing just one, each meal has a 1-in-15 chance of being it.
Add it all up and, if every toy is equally common, a full set of 15 toys takes about 50 Happy Meals on average (our arithmetic). The cards go faster, about 25 meals, because each meal has two.
The checklist at the top does the same math for what you have left. With five toys to go, for example, it’s about 35 more meals; with one to go, about 15.
Trading duplicates with friends or siblings beats buying your way to the end.
The boxes and the game
The meal itself comes in one of three boxes: Pikachu, Umbreon or Torchic. Each has a QR code that opens a game where you hunt for the 15 toys hidden around a virtual classroom and playground.
The promotion is “while supplies last,” so a restaurant can run out before Dec. 14. Children under 3 get a different toy; ask at the counter if that matters.
1:28How we figured the meal counts
This is the classic collector’s problem. With 15 equally likely toys, the expected number of draws to get all of them is 15 × (1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + … + 1/15), about 49.8. With two cards per meal, halve it for the cards: about 24.9.
For what’s left, the checklist uses the same sum, stopping at the number you’re missing. If some toys are rarer than others, the real numbers are higher.
What we don't know yet
- Whether every toy and card is equally common. Neither McDonald’s nor Pokémon says how many of each were made.
- Which seven cards are foil. Pokémon’s page shows all 15 without marking them.
- Whether a restaurant will let you choose your toy, or sell one without a meal. That’s up to each restaurant.
- The Happy Meal price where you live. Each restaurant sets its own.
