Pokemon fans have a new reason to visit McDonald's.

The fast-food chain is bringing back its Pokemon-themed Happy Meals starting Tuesday, Nov. 10, with a new collection of toys and trading cards available at participating restaurants nationwide.

Each Happy Meal comes in one of three specially designed boxes featuring Pikachu, Umbreon or Torchic.

Inside, customers will find one of 15 miniature Happy Meal box-shaped toys inspired by popular Pokemon characters including Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Eevee, Rowlet, Sprigatito and more.

The miniature toys can also be used as charms and attached to keys, bags and other accessories.

In addition to the toys, each Happy Meal includes two Pokemon Trading Card Game Cards. There are 15 different cards to collect, including seven foil cards featuring characters such as Pikachu, Mimikyu, Lucario, Snorlax and Eevee.

Fans can also scan a QR code on their Happy Meal box, "which will bring them to a digital game where they can look for the 15 Pokemon Happy Meal toys hiding around a virtual classroom and playground," according to McDonald's.

The new collection comes as Pokemon celebrates its 30th anniversary. It also follows a previous Pokemon-themed Happy Meal collaboration in January 2025, which featured trading cards, posters and stickers.

The latest Pokemon Happy Meals are also rolling out internationally, including in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Fiji, and Spain this month, with additional countries scheduled to receive the collection through February 2027.

The Pokemon Happy Meals are available for a limited time while supplies last at participating McDonald's restaurants.
