Original story

McDonald's is allegedly coming back with new McDonald's promos this year to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Pokémon.

These promo's were leaked before earlier last year and interestingly enough found in official Pokémon TCG Sword & Shield booster packs. You can even watch on YouTube on various channels where these promo's are pulled from a pack captured on video.

Miguel Lozada (@MLozada) has shared a poster on Twitter showcasing the McDonald's Pokémon 25th anniversary promo's. Alongside the promo cards, various toys/merchandise will also be given out if we may believe the poster.

According to the poster, 4 promo cards are included with every Happy Meal. This McDonald's Collection set will according to the poster, contain 25 promo's featuring Starters of their respective Generation including Pikachu.

Lastly Miguel Lozada mentioned a February 9, 2021 release. We can't confirm this date yet for ourselves. Please note that this date could not be the date for your specific region. Like previously released McDonald's Promo sets, these dates were different for each region. However expect them to release around the 25th Anniversary of Pokémon.

What is fully confirmed, is that The Pokémon Company International has officially confirmed on their pokemon.com website, that they are working together with McDonald's for the Pokémon 25th Anniversary. It is most likely about this specific promotion.

Here is a gallery of the promo's that will be included with a 25th Anniversary stamp. Please keep in mind that this is only a preliminary list based on what we have identified on this poster. The images are very blurry and this gallery is subject to change.

We will try to update this page when McDonald's has officially revealed this promotion alongside with release dates in various regions. 

Pokémon 25th Anniversary promo booster packs are also coming to General Mills cereal boxes.
