Where it came from
The 2016 Pokémon McDonald’s Collection was released as part of a recurring promotional partnership between The Pokémon Company and the fast-food chain. This specific card, featuring Pikachu, was released to coincide with the broader 20th anniversary celebrations of the franchise, designed to attract younger demographics and casual fans to the trading card game during their meal promotions.
The artwork for this card draws from the aesthetic standards established for the XY expansion series. It features the iconic electric mouse in a dynamic pose typical of its series appearances, designed to be visually accessible for collectors and players alike. Upon its release, the card was widely distributed across participating locations, becoming a standard inclusion in the set and noted primarily for its accessibility to players rather than rarity.
