McDonald’s x Pokémon Happy Meal
Pokémon fans, rejoice! This December is looking extra exciting, as you’ll soon have another reason to flock to McDonald’s. The fast food chain is bringing its limited-time Pokémon Happy Meals to Singapore, giving local fans a chance to get their hands on some Pokémon collectibles.
What’s in the Pokémon Happy Meal?

Beyond the burger, side, and drink, the toy that comes with the Happy Meal is often the biggest draw. But this time, it could be an even bigger hit than usual. Pokémon has maintained a massive global following for decades, and recent years have shown that the franchise still has an incredible chokehold on fans.
So forget the usual red box with the golden arches. McDonald’s is giving its iconic Happy Meal packaging a Pokémon makeover, with 3 different box designs featuring fan favourites Pikachu, Umbreon, and Torchic.

Inside each Happy Meal, you’ll find 1 of 15 collectible mini box charms, featuring adorable designs modelled after Pokémon such as Pikachu, Eevee, Bulbasaur, Popplio, Rowlet, and Sprigatito, among other familiar faces.
Here’s the full list of collectible mini box designs:
- Bulbasaur
- Charmander

- Umbreon
- Torchic
- Piplup
- Oshawott

But these mini boxes aren’t just meant to sit on your shelf. They can also be converted into adorable charms, so you can take your favourite Pokémon everywhere by clipping them onto your backpack or using them as keychains.
