McDonald’s Japan teased new Pokemon toys for an upcoming line of Happy Meal toys on social media. It looks like you’ll be able to get toys that look like Pikachu, Piplup, Milcery, and Espurr.
The tweet shows the four Pokemon standing in what looks like a house. The Milcery is floating in the air above the Piplup. It seems as if the Pokemon are to scale, since Milcery is considerably smaller than the other ones. However, Pikachu’s head seems abnormally large in the silhouette in that case. The accompanying tweet reads, “They look like residents of a certain house” along with a thinking face emoji.
All four Pokemon are vastly popular species from the franchise. Pikachu is one of the most recognizable Pokemon, and Piplup clawed its way into popularity ever since its initial appearance in DP. Espurr debuted in XY and quickly gained online popularity due to its blank stare and its sad episode in the anime. Pokemon SV, the current generation of Pokemon, also had a recent event in which players had a higher chance of obtaining a Shiny Milcery, which they could then evolve into a Shiny Alcremie.
More information on the upcoming McDonald’s Japan possible Happy Meal collaboration with Pokemon will appear in the near future. This is not the first time that the two companies teamed up together for merchandise. In 2021, Pokemon teamed up with both Katy Perry and McDonald’s for the 25th anniversary and in 2023, summer festival toys featuring Pokemon designs were available throughout August.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are readily available on the Nintendo Switch.
