Where it came from
The 2017 McDonald's Pokémon collection was released as a promotional tie-in during the height of the Sun and Moon era. These cards were distributed alongside Happy Meals in North America, featuring a selection of creatures from the Alola region to coincide with the release of the Nintendo 3DS games. The inclusion of Grubbin, a bug-type Pokémon, reflects the effort to introduce younger audiences to the then-newest generation of the series.
The cards in this set are characterized by their distinct foil treatment and the McDonald's logo printed directly onto the card face. The design aesthetic follows the standardized look of the Sun and Moon base set, utilizing the clean, modern layout established by The Pokémon Company. While these cards are not considered competitive staples, they are prized by collectors for their limited distribution window and status as a snapshot of Pokémon's mid-2010s marketing strategy.
