Australian toy order, week by week

Three toys a week over five weeks. Some restaurants may give out leftover toys from the previous Happy Meal first.

When Pokémon announced the promotion on 29 October 2026, the card images it first published were stamped M27: they were cards from the 2027 McDonald's set, including Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Rowlet and Raichu. Pokémon replaced them with the 2026 cards, which are stamped M26. Some early articles and social posts still show the M27 list.

Quick check: if a list of 2026 Happy Meal cards includes Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle, it is the 2027 set. Those Pokémon are 2026 toys, not 2026 cards.

When do McDonald's Pokémon cards come out in Australia in 2026?

Thursday 5 November 2026. Australia is in the first, November 2026 wave of the worldwide promotion.

When does the 2026 Pokémon Happy Meal end in Australia?

Wednesday 9 December 2026, or sooner while supplies last at participating McDonald's.

What comes in a Pokémon Happy Meal in 2026?

Each Happy Meal includes two Pokémon Trading Card Game cards and one of 15 miniature Happy Meal box-shaped toys, and comes in one of three Happy Meal boxes themed after Pikachu, Umbreon or Torchic.

How many cards are in the 2026 McDonald's Pokémon set?

15 cards, numbered 001/015 to 015/015 and stamped M26: Decidueye, Chandelure, Palafin, Pikachu, Mimikyu, Lucario, Hawlucha, Tyranitar, Absol, Zoroark, Metagross, Jirachi, Eevee, Snorlax and Wooloo.

Which McDonald's Pokémon cards are foil in 2026?

7 of the 15 cards are foil: Chandelure, Palafin, Pikachu, Mimikyu, Tyranitar and Jirachi, plus Lucario or Eevee (card lists differ on the seventh).

Is the 2026 McDonald's Pokémon set M26 or M27?

The 2026 cards are stamped M26. Pokémon's announcement first showed cards stamped M27, which belong to the 2027 McDonald's set, and the images were replaced with the M26 cards. Lists of the 2026 cards that include Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Rowlet or Raichu are the M27 cards.

Can I buy the McDonald's Pokémon cards without a Happy Meal in Australia?

McDonald's Australia and Pokémon have not said whether the cards or toys can be bought separately in Australia. Ask at your local restaurant.

• Pokémon: Pokémon Happy Meals Are Coming to McDonald's (29 October 2026): regions, contents, card and toy images.
• Vooks (3 November 2026): Australian dates and weekly toy order.
• PokéBeach: dates, foil finish and the M27 mix-up.
• PokéGuardian: both card lists (M26 and M27).
