# McDonald's Collection 2022 The McDonald's Collection 2022 represents a promotional partnership between The Pokemon Company and McDonald's, released in 2026 as part of the fast-food chain's ongoing collaboration with the TCG. This fifteen-card set emerged during a period of significant market saturation with McDonald's promotional releases, following similar campaigns from previous years. The limited card pool reflects the constraints typical of quick-service restaurant tie-ins, where distribution prioritizes accessibility over collector depth. The set includes five notably distributed cards: Pikachu, Victini, Growlithe, Smeargle, and Rowlet. These selections span multiple generations, suggesting an intentional approach to appeal across different collector demographics. Victini's inclusion is particularly significant given its legendary status, while Smeargle's presence indicates the set's focus on Pokemon with established cultural recognition. The 2026 release timing positions this collection within the broader context of Pokemon's sustained commercial momentum, though its modest card count limits its impact on serious collecting portfolios.
Pokemon set pages should explain the release context, show which art and rarity layers matter, and surface where the money and demand are concentrating.
McDonald's Collection 2022 sits inside the live pokemon set library. and matters because it combines set identity, chase hierarchy, and live market behavior in one place.
