McDonald's Pokémon Happy Meal 2026: November Release, 15 Toys and 15 Cards

The Pokémon Company says Pokémon Happy Meals return to participating McDonald’s in November 2026 for a limited time while supplies last, with 15 toys, 15 cards (seven foil) and two Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) cards in each meal. Dexerto, quoting a McDonald’s post by marketing executive Guillaume Huin, and GoNintendo, citing PokéBeach, report a U.S. start of Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026. McDonald’s U.S. menu page cited in those reports did not load for us (it blocked automated access), so the exact day is reported, not confirmed on an official page we could open.

The table below separates what The Pokémon Company has confirmed from what outlets report, and the printable at the end gives you 30 numbered slots to tick off. For other November dates, see our November 2026 printable calendar.

How long would the Pokémon Happy Meal run?

If the reported U.S. window of Tuesday, Nov. 10 to Monday, Dec. 14, 2026 holds, the run is 35 days counting both days. That is a computed figure from reported dates, not an announced one. The earlier reported window, Thursday, Nov. 5 to Wednesday, Dec. 9, also adds up to 35 days. The Pokémon Company itself gives no end date, and says the meals are sold “while supplies last”, so restaurants can run out before any date. You can pencil the reported dates into the December 2026 printable calendar.

What comes in each Pokémon Happy Meal?

Each meal comes in one of three boxes themed after Pikachu, Umbreon or Torchic, and includes two Pokémon TCG cards, per The Pokémon Company. GoNintendo says the two cards are random. Nintendo Life describes them as two cards from a selection of 15, including seven holos. The toys are miniature Happy Meal box-shaped toys, according to The Pokémon Company.

Dexerto adds that the collection includes a Quick Response (QR) code game set in a virtual classroom and playground. We found that detail in Dexerto only, so treat it as reported.

Which Pokémon toys are in the set?

There is no complete official toy list in the sources we used, and we are not reprinting unofficial lists. The Pokémon Company’s text mentions Pikachu, Rowlet and Sprigatito designs. Dexerto names Pikachu, Eevee, Charmander, Squirtle and Umbreon. Because the lists differ, the printable leaves a blank line for each name.

Is the Pokémon Happy Meal different in Quebec?

Yes. The Pokémon Company says the miniature Happy Meal box-shaped toys will not be available in Quebec, Canada. Quebec gets a Pokémon sticker and a booster pack containing four Pokémon TCG cards.

How much does it cost, and where do you buy it?

Price is not announced and varies by restaurant. The meals are available at participating McDonald’s only. Check the McDonald’s app or the restaurant locator, and ask your local restaurant whether it takes part.
