Trainers, get your Poké Balls ready because something delicious is coming your way! That’s right! Niantic has just revealed a brand-new partnership between Pokémon GO and our favorite golden arches, McDonald’s! Talk about a combo that even Pikachu would approve of!
This collaboration means you can visit Sponsored PokéStops or Gyms whenever you swing by McDonald’s restaurants in the good ol’ US of A. Imagine munching on fries while catching some rare Pokémon! Who knew fast food could be so… adventurous?
But wait, there’s more! During specific weeks, Trainers can encounter Pokémon attracted by Lure Modules at these special PokéStops and join in on five-star raids at the McDonald’s Gyms. So grab your friends, grab a burger, and let the battles begin!

You might be thinking: “Wait a minute! Isn’t this déjà vu?” You’re right! This isn’t Niantic’s first rodeo with McDonald’s. They’ve been teaming up across the globe for years now; Europeans have had their fair share of happy meals and Pokémon fun already. So, congrats to my American pals for getting in on this tasty action!
The excitement doesn’t stop there! Just imagine gathering around those iconic yellow arches with fellow Trainers as you planning your next raid. Pro tip: don’t forget to save your game before trying that move; trust me on this one!
