The McDonald's Collection represented a significant moment when the Pokémon Company partnered with the fast-food giant to distribute cards through their restaurants worldwide. Released in 2021, these promotional sets introduced many casual collectors to the hobby and remain memorable for their accessibility and widespread availability. The holo versions from this release became particularly sought after, offering an attractive middle ground between common promos and high-end vintage cards. Grookey, the mischievous Grass-type starter, connects to the popular Sword and Shield generation that defined the era. Collectors appreciate this card for its appealing artwork and the nostalgic connection to McDonald's promotions that made Pokémon collecting feel mainstream and inclusive during a pivotal period for the hobby.
