Do you want cards with that? McDonald’s has launched a limited-time Pokémon Happy Meal, sending fans of all ages scrambling for their share of the coveted collectible loot — with some heading straight to eBay to resell their hauls for hundreds.

When McDonald’s brought back Pokemon Happy Meals for 2025, it wasn’t just kids rushing to collect trading cards and themed boxes.

MCDONALD’S has revealed it is shaking up its Happy Meal offering with a new limited-edition theme. The fast food chain is launching a Sonic 3 Happy Meal box with brand new toys to celebrate

The Pokémon Dragon Discovery Happy Meal will run from Jan. 21 to Feb. 24, according to PokeBeach. The site also reports that the collaboration is set for Austria and New Zealand in January. According to The Gamer, the partnership is themed around the Year of the Dragon.

Pokémon characters Charizard, Rayquaza, Roaring Moon, Pikachu, and Dragonite will be featured on the Happy Meal boxes

The Happy Meals also come in one of four Pokémon-themed Happy Meal box designs, featuring Charizard, Pikachu & Dragonite together, Rayquaza, and Roaring Moon, McDonald's said. Those who order Happy Meals through the McDonald's app will get added bonuses, the company said, with redeemable codes to unlock digital booster packs and more.

After arriving overseas at the end of last year, McDonald's restaurants across the UK have now finally got their hands on a Sonic the Hedgehog 3 -themed Happy Meal, though the tie-in toys are a little different to those found in the US (thanks, Eurogamer ).
