McDonald’s and the Pokémon Company have partnered up to bring Pokémon toys to Happy Meals from November 27 through December 23. The promotion is coming to both the United States and Canada, and the theme is the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire games.

Picking up a Happy Meal during the promotion will get you one of eight Pokémon figures, including Pikachu, Hoopa, Mega Latios, Wobbuffet, Lugia, Primal Kyogre, Rayzuaza, and Primal Groudon. The Happy Meal also comes with one of 12 Pokémon Trading Card Game cards.

Along with the collectibles, anyone with a 3DS or 2DS can come to McDonald’s and connect to the Nintendo Zone hotspot to download Hoopa for Pokémon X and Y or Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Not every location is a hotspot, however, so make sure to check before you or your kids are disappointed.
