Where it came from
The 2015 Pokémon McDonald's Collection was released as a promotional tie-in, distributed within Happy Meal boxes at participating McDonald's restaurants. This set was designed to promote the trading card game to a younger audience, featuring a curated selection of cards that utilized existing artwork from the XY-series expansions. These promotional sets are known for their distinct aesthetic, often marked with the iconic McDonald's logo on the card front to signify their origin.
The Staryu card, numbered 4/12, is a Water-type Pokémon that features artwork originally showcased in the XY-Furious Fists expansion. The card was designed to be accessible for new players, featuring straightforward mechanics that align with the era's simplified promotional gameplay. While these cards were mass-produced for the promotion, they have since gained interest among collectors for their specific set stamp and their role as a snapshot of Pokémon's mid-2010s marketing collaborations.
