Lore

Why it matters

This card is part of the 2018 McDonald's Pokémon promotion, which featured a curated set of cards available exclusively through Happy Meals. Cubone remains a favorite among collectors for its poignant backstory as the "Lonely Pokémon," and its inclusion in this limited distribution set makes it a nostalgic memento for fans of both the trading card game and the fast-food tie-in series.

Provenance

Where it came from

The 2018 McDonald's Pokémon collection was a promotional set released in select regions to coincide with the ongoing collaboration between The Pokémon Company and the fast-food chain. These cards were distributed alongside Happy Meals, serving as a tactical marketing tool to drive engagement with younger audiences while encouraging the completion of the 12-card promotional set.

The Cubone card, numbered 7/12, features artwork consistent with the aesthetic of the Sun & Moon era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. While the illustrators for these specific promotional cards are often credited to the internal creative teams at Creatures Inc., the design focuses on providing a simplified, accessible version of the creature for younger players, utilizing high-gloss card stock that distinguishes it from standard expansion releases.
