Pokemon and McDonald's have been working together for more than a decade, the former putting cards from its TCG in Happy Meals since 2011. It tends to happen annually at around this time of year, but a tease for the assumed collab by McDonald's France has people thinking this year's fast food trading card offering might come with a twist.
McDonald's French Twitter account shared a mocked-up image of a Big Mac card made to look like it was one they'd pulled from a pack in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Not only is the card an illustration rare which shows an animated version of the restaurant chain's signature sandwich as if it has just been pulled from a virtual pack, but it has a five-star rarity rating. For the uninitiated, the rarest cards in Pocket so far are three stars and then Crown Rares, so yeah, this Big Mac is quite the specimen.
If you're already fed up of all the duplicates, this might be when more cards, packs, and even the next expansion will be added to Pocket.
Despite its impressive rarity, the Big Mac's stats are pretty middling compared to some of the more powerful cards currently...
