Where it came from
The 2018 McDonald's Pokémon collection was released as part of a recurring promotional partnership between The Pokémon Company and McDonald's restaurants. Designed to coincide with the broader Sun and Moon era of the trading card game, the set served as an accessible entry point for younger players and casual collectors. The cards were distributed in Happy Meals, typically paired with a promotional toy, reflecting a marketing strategy intended to drive brand engagement through cross-promotional merchandise.
The Dratini card, designated number 9/12, features artwork consistent with the aesthetic standards of the modern TCG, prioritizing bright, clean digital illustrations that emphasize the creature's serpentine form. While these promotional cards utilized existing assets rather than bespoke artistic commissions, they are valued by collectors for their unique set-specific stamp and limited availability window. Upon release, the set was received as a nostalgic and highly collectable series, noted primarily for its ease of acquisition compared to standard expansion packs.
