The Pokémon Company accidentally showed next year's McDonald's cards, plus a Mega Rayquaza ex Premium Tournament Collection is set for February.

· 5:20 AM CT

A slip from the official account leads Saturday. The Pokémon Company posted cards from what appears to be the 2027 McDonald's promo set a year early, deleted the post, then put up the correct list for this year's Happy Meals. Also: a Mega Rayquaza ex Premium Tournament Collection is reported for Feb 12, Aura Seeker reveals continue with Blastoise and a new alt-art Mega Lucario Z ex, and One Piece EB-05 is on sale.

  1. Reported · Pokémon

    next year's McDonald's set revealed a year early

    PokeBeach and TheGamer report that The Pokémon Company's Oct 29 post about this year's McDonald's promos showed cards carrying an "M27" set symbol instead of this year's set. The post was deleted, and the correct list for this year's 15-card set went up Oct 30, which PokeBeach says confirms the mix-up. The early post included a Squirtle card that hasn't been released yet. Any link between that card and an upcoming Blastoise release is a rumor, unconfirmed.
