Where it came from
The 2017 Pokémon TCG McDonald's Collection was released as a promotional tie-in, distributed within Happy Meals at participating McDonald's locations. This set featured a curated selection of cards from the Sun & Moon era, designed to introduce younger audiences to the Alola region starters and their associated evolutions. These cards were primarily intended to serve as accessible entry points for new players, featuring simplified card designs that mirrored the main expansions of the time.
Popplio, the water-type starter from the Alola region, was illustrated by artist Hitoshi Ariga for this specific release. Ariga is a long-standing contributor to the Pokémon franchise, known for his ability to capture the playful and fluid nature of water-type creatures. The card was received by collectors as a modest but charming piece of set completion, valued more for its thematic role in the Sun & Moon rollout than for competitive play utility.
