Although the year of the dragon has been replaced by the year of the snake, as the name of the Happy Meal suggests, This year's Pokemon McDonald's theme is dragon type. Drampa, Hydregion, and perhaps the most popular Dragon-type Pokemon of all, Dragonite are featured in the new series.

As usual with McDonald's Pokemon cards, there is nothing new about them. They are all reprints that were featured in the previous series but with McDonald's numbers that make them technically different and unique from their originals. The holo cards, of which there will be seven to collect, will be printed on holofoil confetti paper, a feature used by Pokemon exclusively on McDonald's glowing cards. All 15 available cards are listed below if you want to check them out when you see them.

  • Charizard

  • Pikachu (ho)

  • Miraidon (ho)

  • Jigglypuff

  • Hate

  • Dragapult

  • Quagsire

  • choroid (ho)

  • Umbreon

  • Hydreigon (ho)

  • Roaring Moon (holo)

  • dragonite (holo)

  • Eevee

  • Rayquaza

  • drum (holo)

For those who aren't just interested in cards, the promotion will bring four new Happy Meal box designs with it. Charizard, Dragonite, Rayquaza, and Roaring Moon are the stars of the box for the return of McDonald's Pokemon. Each Happy Meal will also have a poster and a piece of paper with spots on one side of the poster.

I hope Pokemon fans who are too old to eat Happy Meals don't spoil this promotion for the people it was meant for. There is no doubt that there will be collectors who are eager to get the full set and Pokemon cards, wherever they are, are very useful. TCG's Journey Together sold out almost immediately and Elite Trainer Boxes have been listed on resale sites for hundreds of dollars.
