For the three days from August 9th, 2025 to to August 11th, 2025, an extra Pokémon TCG pack was included in Pokémon Happy Sets. 6 promo cards featuring the McDonald's logo were available at random in the packs. The Pikachu card was the only card that featured new artwork for this distribution.

The distribution of the Pokémon Happy Set weekend bonus Pokémon Cards ended at all stores on August 9th, 2025, the first day of the distribution. McDonalds Japan put up an apology message on the offical Happy Set site sincerely apologizing for not meeting customer expectations. They had set a limit of five Pokémon Happy Sets per customer but that wasn't enough to stop scalpers.

The notice also asked patrons to please refrain from purchasing Happy Sets for the purpose of resale or other commercial purposes and to refrain from ordering more than they could eat.
