The 2023 McDonald’s Pokemon TCG promotion has been spotted in Germany by PokeBeach, and it’s set to feature reprints from Scarlet & Violet.

For the last few years, The Pokemon Company has partnered up with McDonald’s to release limited-edition reprints of popular cards for fans to collect and kids to enjoy.

Available by purchasing a Pikachu-shaped Happy Meal, some of the cards have become worth more than the meal itself.

PokeBeach has spotted cards from the new McDonald’s promotion in Germany, and it’s set to feature reprints from Scarlet & Violet’s popular base set.

Among the cards that appear to be available for collectors in Germany so far are six holo variants of Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly, Cetitan, Pikachu, and Klawf.

The pictures shared by PokeBeach show that these will be the first McDonald’s promo cards that feature foil borders that spruce up the new silver borders on Scarlet & Violet cards.

Those purchasing a Happy Meal after the promotion is live will receive one booster pack with four promo cards inside, one of them being holo.
