McDonald's Collection 2018, code MCD18, is a promotional run of 12 cards released on October 19, 2018, during the Sun & Moon era and part of the McDonald's Collection series. The whole set is a single 12-card list with no secret cards above the count, so the card list is the complete picture. It leans on Colorless, Fighting, Water and Dragon Pokémon, and its most valuable cards are Psyduck, Eevee and Pikachu, with Slowpoke and Cubone close behind. It is a small set built around recognizable characters rather than a deep rarity ladder.
As a promotional run, McDonald's Collection 2018 has no pull ladder to climb, so the chase is simply the handful of cards that hold the value. Psyduck is the most valuable card, followed by Eevee and Pikachu, all three illustrated by Shibuzoh., with Slowpoke by Mina Nakai and Cubone by sui next in line. The top five cards alone account for 72 percent of the set's total card value, which means the other seven cards carry only a small remainder and the set's worth rests on a few names.
As of October 2026, McDonald's Collection 2018 holds the 2nd highest total card value among the 4 comparable Sun & Moon sets, about 1.3 times the era median, and ranks 20th across the 35 comparable sets in the English-language Pokémon TCG. Its Psyduck is the 2nd most valuable single card in the era, and trading activity also ranks 2nd. At 12 cards it sits about level with the era median size. It followed McDonald's Collection 2017, released August 3, 2017, which holds less total value, and came before McDonald's Collection 2019, released October 15, 2019, which also holds less.
