Each meal includes one toy and two Pokémon trading cards.
A similar promotion in Japan last year sparked controversy after Happy Meals sold out within hours. Some scalpers reportedly placed bulk orders, discarded the food and resold the Pokémon cards for profit.
Earlier this fall, Krispy Kreme celebrated 30 years of Pokémon with the release of six limited-edition Pokémon-themed doughnuts. The promotion has since ended.
Pokémon’s anniversary is fueling a surge in demand for trading cards — some worth thousands of dollars.
