The contents of the upcoming Pokémon Happy Meals, which are expected to be available from August 3, have not yet been confirmed.
McDonald’s last introduced Pokémon Happy Meals in the UK in May 2021,when they included the 25th anniversary trading cardsthat experienced widespread sell-outs in the US earlier that year.
Each Happy Meal contained four cards and one surprise gift (either a trading card box, stickers or frame).
McDonald’s ended up having toplace restrictions on Pokémon Happy Meal salesafter they were targeted by scalpers reselling the cards on auction sites for hundreds of dollars.
According to social media reports, some collectors were even buying the Happy Meals in bulk, in the hopes of obtaining new cards, and throwing out the food.
