McDonald’s Match Battle 2022 Pokémon TCG collection

The McDonald’s Match Battle 2022 expansion represents a unique collaboration between the Pokémon franchise and the famous restaurant chain, bringing a specific set of collectible cards to fans and collectors worldwide. Released during the Sword & Shield era, this promotion features a curated selection of cards that have become popular targets for those looking to complete special promotional sets. Unlike standard retail releases, these cards were distributed through Happy Meals, which often makes certain versions more difficult to find in pristine condition due to the unique packaging and distribution method.

Expansion products and card types

This collection is primarily focused on Pokémon Singles that were specifically selected for this promotion. Each Match Battle pack originally contained a small 4-card booster, often accompanied by additional game accessories like coins or spinners. On our marketplace, you can find individual cards to fill the gaps in your collection or search for sealed Pokémon Boosters to experience the thrill of the original pack opening. While the set list is more compact than massive expansions like Silver Tempest, the unique holofoil patterns used in this set make the cards instantly recognizable.

Collector guide for the 2022 Match Battle set

When navigating this category, it is important to distinguish between the different card finishes. The 15-card set features several fan-favorite creatures, but only a portion of them were available in the signature confetti holofoil style. If you are a completionist, the most efficient way to acquire the full set is to use our advanced filters to identify missing Pokémon Singles. For those who enjoy the broader hobby, these cards often pair well with other promotional releases found in Pokémon TCG: Pokémon GO or various Pokémon Products. Always check the condition of the cards, as promo cards sometimes exhibit minor surface wear from their original paper envelopes.
