Lore

Why it matters

This Maractus card is part of a promotional set released in 2011 to coincide with a McDonald's Pokémon partnership. While the Pokémon itself debuted in the Generation V games, this specific release is sought after by collectors for its unique card stock and the distinct "McDonald's Collection" stamp found on the face of the card.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Maractus card was released in 2011 as part of a promotional set distributed through McDonald's restaurants in North America. This campaign coincided with the promotion of the Pokémon Black and White video games, aiming to introduce the franchise's fifth-generation creatures to a younger audience through Happy Meal toys and collectible trading cards.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who rendered the cactus-like Pokémon in a bright, vibrant style consistent with the era's card designs. As a common card in a promotional subset, it was designed for accessibility rather than competitive play, intended primarily to be a tactile memento for children participating in the meal promotion.
