Rowlet

Description

The 2021 McDonald's Collection brings a unique promotional chapter to the Pokémon TCG, offering fans a chance to own a piece of the Sun & Moon era outside standard retail packs. Among these exclusive releases is card number 7, featuring the Grass-type Pokémon Rowlet. Designed by Megumi Mizutani, this Basic Pokémon card holds 60 HP and serves as an essential entry point for collectors interested in the Gen 7 starters. Unlike base set cards, this promotional variant features a special holo finish that catches the light, making it a visually distinct addition to any binder or display. For players and collectors alike, Rowlet remains a recognizable figure from the Alola region. Its gameplay mechanics include a Colorless Tackle attack dealing 10 damage and a GrassColorless Leafage attack dealing 20 damage, with a retreat cost of 1. While primarily a collector's item due to its promotional nature, the card retains the core identity of the starter Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Sun and Moon. The McDonald's Collection cards are highly sought after for their nostalgic value and the specific era they represent, marking a time when fast-food promotions played a significant role in card distribution. Collecting these promotional cards often involves completing the set to capture the full roster of that year's featured Pokémon. The holo treatment on this Rowlet card adds a layer of premium appeal, distinguishing it from the standard non-holo promotional versions that were also distributed. As part of the MCD21 subset code, this card represents a specific moment in Pokémon trading card history. Whether you are a long-time fan of the franchise or a new collector exploring the diverse world of Pokémon merchandise, this card offers a tangible connection to the beloved character. It stands as a testament to the enduring popularity of Rowlet and the creative ways the franchise engages with its global community through limited-time collaborations.
