# Chinchou (Japanese) #011 — McDonald's Pokémon-e Minimum Pack

## Summary

Chinchou has been a fan favourite since Johto for its round, cheerful face and the glowing antennae that light the deep water in the games. This Japanese promo came from the McDonald's Pokémon-e Minimum Pack, released in January 2002, a fast-food giveaway rather than a booster pull. It shows the blue Pokémon floating in a wash of watery light, with its yellow antennae and crossed-out eyes framed against a golden border. The modelled guide sits at $26; no PSA population is on file.
