McDonald's Pokemon Giveaway - Full Checklist Needs and Haves

on
For several weeks, McDonald's has been giving away Pokemon cards inside its ubiquitous Happy Meals.  My son is HUGE into Pokemon at this point, so of course we had to get ourselves some Happy Meals!  Unfortunately, I think McDonald's must have the same company figuring out their pack collation as Topps uses, that is to say, collation hasn't been kind to us!



Case in point, the entire McDonald's set contains 15 cards.  Of those 15, we currently have nine which is okay.  However, of the nine we own, we have duplicates (or, in two cases, triplicates) of four of the cards!

Here's the full checklist for the set:
  1. Charizard
  2. Pikachu
  3. Miraidon
  4. Jigglypuff
  5. Hatenna
  6. Dragapult
  7. Quagsire
  8. Koraidon
  9. Umbreon
  10. Hydreigon
  11. Roaring Moon
  12. Dragonite
  13. Eevee
  14. Rayquaza
  15. Drampa
Of that group, we currently need:
  • #2  Pikachu
  • #3  Miraidon
  • #6  Dragapult  (TCDB trade pending!)
  • #11  Roaring Moon
  • #12  Dragonite
  • #14  Rayquaza
Duplicates we have for trade:
  • #1  Charizard (x2)
  • #7  Quagsire
  • #13  Eevee (x2)
  • #15  Drampa

I'm guessing the odds are quite low that I can trade the six duplicates we have for the six cards we need but I'd be happy to inch a bit closer to set completion.  While writing this post, I found that TCDB has Pokemon sets (including the McDonald's set) listed so I've added my haves/wants over there as well.  Who knows, maybe I'll start trading baseball cards for Pokemon cards - that's a day I never thought I'd see (but with a six-year-old, it's worth it to me)!

    I used to collect Pokemon cards back in the olden days...like 2016. I've stopped collecting since then, but kept my favorite cards with me, including my favorite of all the cards -- Mega Charizard.

    I collect pokemon cards, and have some other pokemon stuff. I would like to trade for some of your duplicates, but I do not have any of the cards you need, because I have not gone to McDonald's in a long time.

    If Charizard is as hot as he was back in the late 90's... then those dupes you pulled should help you land the remaining cards you need for your set. Kids went wild for him.
