McDonald's customers can get their hands on nine normal and six holographic Pokémon cards

First introduced to the chain's menu back in 2002, the Pokémon Happy Meals have always included exclusive, limited-edition cards from the very popular Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG).

This year, the new Pokémon Happy Meals come with a total of 15 exclusive TCG cards. While nine of the cards are normal, at least six of them are available as holographic cards, which are quite popular among collectors as they can be rather rare to find.

Launched on September 15 and starting at over $6, the limited-time Pokémon Happy Meals can be purchased at all participating stores across the United States. The new meal is available to order at the nearest store or through the chain's app or website for pick-up and deliveries until October 16.

Individuals must note that McDonald's Pokémon Happy Meals often get sold out quickly, so those looking forward to collecting all 15 exclusive cards must do so at the earliest. While one may still be able to find them later on eBay and other similar reselling websites, they may be sold at extremely high prices.
