To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pocket Monsters, McDonald’s is including Pokémon card packs in Happy Meals. It seemed like a good idea! Others thought so too.
Included are four random cards from a set of 50 cards, Inven reports. The rarest or most valuable cards are, as always, shiny versions.
Some collectors and YouTubers are inevitably launching the cards en masse. The money changers, not surprisingly, appear right behind.
On the first day of launching the cards, the cards are food chain looked like laissez-faire on the launch. Apparently, some McDonald’s offering packages separately, while other locations include them with Happy Meal. Depending on the specific McDonald’s, there may be different rules on how many can be purchased.
For example, as YouTuber Pokémon Blazendary pointed out, the location may have limited stock, so he bought 20 Happy Meals. In contrast, YouTuber aDrive he didn’t want the food, he just asked for boxes and packs of cards. He was limited to asking for 20 in one location, but he could ask for 80 in another.
Vannie Eats ordered six Happy Meals with the cards and then filmed a mukbang while devouring the food.
Good do not stop let the food go to waste. Some, like the one mentioned above Pokémon Blazendary or Twitter JT Valor, who are buying in bulk, say they are donating food to those in need. I hope that other people who are buying lots of Happy Meals will also do the same.

Not everyone who buys in bulk is necessarily looking to reverse these cards, but the cards end up on eBay. The packages appear to cost about $ 5 to $ 10 in the resale market with the most desirable cards, like the brilliant Pikachu, reaching $ 60.
Normal people who hope to win a Pokémon Happy Meal with the greeting cards are finding that they have run out. It sucks, sure, but unless there’s stricter rules on people who buy many Happy Meals, this was about to happen.
