McDonald's Japan will being selling Pokémon Happy Sets at participating McDonald's restaurants nationwide for a limited time starting on Friday, August 9th, 2024. The toys are based on characters from the anime.

The Pokémon Happy Set lineup features eight toys that you can enjoy playing with outside. The first series includes four toys such as Captain Pikachu's Waterwheel, whose handle rotates when water is poured on it, a watering can with a monster ball design, and Nyahoja's Toolkit. The second series also includes four toys including Kuwassu's Water Gun and Nyahoja's Telescope which makes distant objects look bigger when you look through it. You can enjoy it not only outdoors, but also in the bath, pool, and indoors.

Captain Pikachu's Spinning Waterwheel and Kuwassu's Water Gun allow children to learn about the properties of water while playing, and become familiar with natural science. In addition, by using Nyahoja's Telescope to look at distant buildings and natural scenery, and observing plants, animals, insects, children will expand their interest in the natural environment and life around them.

In addition, Hogator's Flying Disc can be played with by throwing it in a wide open area, and Captain Pikachu's Rolling Roller can be enjoyed by playing with sand and clay to create patterns. These are toys that improve physical dexterity by playing with them. In addition, going outside and using the Monster Ball Compass to learn about orientation will deepen their interest in the earth, develop spatial awareness, and increase their desire to explore the world.

This summer vacation, take your Pokémon Happy Set toys with you and go outside with your friends and family, enjoy playing while interacting with nature, and discover the world like you have never seen before.
