Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the XY era.
McDonald's Collection 2015 sits in the XY era as a promotional run, part of the McDonald's Collection series that returned to the English-language Pokémon TCG each year. Its release date was November 27, 2015, and the set code is MCD15. The card list is a compact 12 cards, with a catalog of 12 printings and no secret cards above the count. It leans on Colorless, Fighting, Grass and Lightning Pokémon, and its headline cards are Torchic, Mudkip and Pikachu, a lineup that reads as a small-format sampler of well-known favorites rather than a competitive release.
As a promotional collection, McDonald's Collection 2015 has no rarity ladder to climb, so the chase comes down to which of the 12 cards the market prices highest. Torchic, illustrated by sui, is the most valuable card, followed by Mudkip from Aya Kusube and Pikachu from Naoki Saito, with Skitty and Staryu rounding out the top five. Value is heavily concentrated: the top five cards hold 75 percent of the set's total card value, so the remaining seven cards, including Lotad, Zigzagoon and Marill, contribute comparatively little to the full run.

Completing McDonald's Collection 2015 means finding all 12 printings, and every one of them is priced, so the full run can be tracked card by card. Because the top five cards hold 75 percent of the set's total card value, the cost of a complete set is driven mostly by Torchic, Mudkip, Pikachu and a couple of others, while the rest are inexpensive fillers. The compact size makes it one of the more approachable promotional runs in the XY era to finish.
