The 30th anniversary is not slowing down. Since our last roundup, the McDonald's Pokémon Happy Meal promo has gone live in the US, Japan has dated its next TCG expansion — Aura Seeker, built around Mega Lucario Z ex — and Pokémon Legends: Z-A players just got a Shiny Xerneas Mystery Gift with a Shiny Yveltal gift right behind it. Add a Team Rocket board game, a Dedenne collection launching today in Singapore, Hong Kong's first Pokémon Center pop-up, and a Spewpa gift that expires next week, and here are the newest picks — all verified from official Pokémon announcements and reputable sources on November 13, 2026, with no repeats from our recent posts.
| Product | McDonald's Pokémon Happy Meal Promo (2026) |
| Set / Series | Pokémon 30th Anniversary — Happy Meal promotion |
| Type | 15 collectible mini box toys + 15-card TCG set (7 foil), 2 cards per meal |
| Release date | Live November 10, 2026 in the US — reported through December 14, while supplies last |
1. McDonald's Pokémon Happy Meal Promo — Live Now (US, November 10, 2026)
The Happy Meal promo is back for the 30th anniversary, and this year's toy is part of the collectible: each meal includes one of 15 miniature Happy Meal box-shaped toys — Pikachu, Eevee, Charmander, Squirtle and Umbreon are among the characters — and the back of each mini box doubles as a display frame for a card. You also get two Pokémon TCG cards from a 15-card set, seven of them foil, all reprints with McDonald's numbering. The US run started November 10 at participating restaurants and is reported to run through December 14, while supplies last — Pokémon's own announcement says only limited time, so individual restaurants can sell out earlier. At least eight meals gets you enough cards for a full set on paper, but pulls are random, so duplicates are part of the hunt.

✅ PRE-ORDERS LIVE2. Pokémon TCG: Aura Seeker (M7) — November 27, 2026, Japan
Japan's next Mega Evolution expansion is Aura Seeker (Hadou Seeker), set code M7, releasing Friday, November 27, 2026. It is the first set built around Z Mega Evolution Pokémon from Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC, headlined by Mega Lucario Z ex alongside Mega Garchomp Z ex and Mega Absol Z ex. The main set is 78 cards plus secret rares; reveals so far include a new Kecleon and the chase Special Art Rare of Crasher Wake's Fervor (113/078), newly illustrated by Tetsuo Hara, creator of Fist of the North Star. Each Japanese booster pack holds five cards, and localized releases in Taiwan and Hong Kong follow on December 4. No English release has been announced by The Pokémon Company yet — PokeBeach reports an English version in early February 2027, so treat that date as reported, not confirmed.

3. Shiny Xerneas & Shiny Yveltal Mystery Gifts — Legends: Z-A (Announced November 12, 2026)
Two event-only shinies are being given away in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Shiny Xerneas is available now via Mystery Gift password CELEBRATE30TH, claimable until January 7, 2027. Shiny Yveltal follows: its password will be announced December 10, 2026, and it can be claimed until February 4, 2027. The same passwords also unlock matching furniture sets in Pokémon Pokopia, so one code works across both games. These are the X and Y legendaries in shiny forms that were previously locked out of normal play, which is why collectors are moving fast on the Xerneas code — do not wait until January to enter it.

4. Could You Be Team Rocket? Board Game — November 12, 2026, Japan
Pokémon's newest tabletop release is a hidden-identity board game: in Could You Be Team Rocket?, four to six players battle over control of a Pokémon Gym without knowing who among them is secretly Team Rocket, using deception, strategy and Pokémon battles. It was developed with YOKA Games, is recommended for ages 10 and up, and a match runs at least 30 minutes. Inside are 60 exclusive cards with artwork created specifically for the game — note that these are game cards, not standard TCG cards, and cannot be used in the main card game. It released in Japan on November 12, 2026 through Pokémon Center stores, Pokémon Center Online and participating toy and electronics retailers. No English-language release has been announced yet.

5. Gimme Gimme Electricity — Dedenne Collection (November 13, 2026, Singapore)
Launching today, November 13, at Pokémon Center Singapore: Gimme Gimme Electricity, a Dedenne-themed collection built around the Electric/Fairy mouse. The flat-lay reveal shows a large Dedenne plush, Dedenne and train-car keychains, a gold-colored Dedenne ring, a wall hook shaped like Dedenne's tail holding a small Dedenne figure, washi tape rolls, a sticker sheet, a small pouch, and two towel/handkerchief designs with illustrated Dedenne scenes. Dedenne rarely gets a whole collection to itself, which makes this the sleeper pick of the week for collectors who chase single-Pokémon drops. Availability is at Pokémon Center Singapore while stocks last, with terms applying; no US Pokémon Center release has been announced.

6. Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store — Hong Kong (November 11, 2026 – January 3, 2027)
Hong Kong's first official Pokémon Center pop-up store is now open at Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong, on Level LG2, as the centerpiece of the mall's Pokémon's 30 Years of Joy celebration. It runs November 11, 2026 to January 3, 2027, open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., stocked with original Pokémon Center items — plush, lifestyle products and 30th anniversary special editions. One key date for card collectors: Pokémon TCG products officially launch at the pop-up on November 18; from November 11 to 17, only Pokémon Center original merchandise is available. Entry is managed through the GULU booking system, so plan ahead rather than just showing up.

7. Spewpa Mystery Gift — Claim by November 19, 2026
A quick deadline reminder for Legends: Z-A players: the Mystery Gift Spewpa released alongside the Switch 2 Edition + Mega Dimension bundle is only claimable until Thursday, November 19, 2026 at 01:59 UTC. This is not an ordinary Spewpa — when it evolves, it becomes a Vivillon with one of 16 different wing patterns chosen at random, patterns tied to climate and topography in the main games. Claim it through the in-game Mystery Gift menu before the window closes; once it is gone, there is no announced second chance.
