In August we exclusively revealed the annual McDonald’s Pokemon TCG promotion will run in France from December 4th to January 21st. We do not know a U.S. release date yet.

We can now reveal the promotion will be largely themed around Dragon Pokemon. Presumably this is to celebrate 2024’s Year of the Dragon.

Like recent years, you will receive one 4-card booster containing one holo card and three non-holo cards. There will again be 15 cards available. Six of them will be holo:

  • Charizard
  • Quagsire
  • Pikachu
  • Miraidon
  • Hatenna
  • Koraidon
  • Umbreon
  • Dragapult
  • Hydreigon
  • Roaring Moon
  • Jigglypuff
  • Dragonite
  • Eevee
  • Rayquaza
  • Drampa

As usual, all of the cards will be reprints from previous sets but with new McDonald’s numbering. The holo cards will be printed on the confetti holofoil used exclusively for McDonald’s cards.

Confirmed reprints include the following. Unusually, some of them are older cards stretching back to the Sword & Shield era when cards had yellow borders:

France historically runs their promotion a month or two after the United States, but there is still no word when the promotion will come here. Since the cards are obviously themed after 2024’s Year of the Dragon, we’ll likely get the promotion next month or possibly in January for Chinese New Year. Stay tuned!

I have been hunting so-taro rayquaza for a while. I’m gonna get like so many of these. P.S. ask your local McDonald’s for just the toy so they can sell you them for around a dollar/pound I believe. The McDonald’s near me atleast does this
 
I swear, if I see a grown ass man buy out all these toys at McDonald’s I’m crashing out. If ur gonna get this, atleast get it to eat or for your kid
 
They just had to put a Charizard and Rayquaza in there? I hope they'll at least be non-holo so they end up being really common and cheap, that way there'll be less reason for people to scalp this.

I tried this for the Hello Kitty x Yugioh promo and they said the company policy is you have to buy a happy meal to have the ability to add 1 extra toy and only 1 extra. So I guess it depends on how lax your local MCD management is.

EDIT: found the policy. https://www.mcdonalds.com/ie/en-ie/family-hub/happy-meal/fair-ordering-policy.html
