McDonald's Collection 2021 is a 25-card promotional run in the Sword & Shield era of the English-language Pokémon TCG, released on February 9, 2021 under the set code MCD21. It belongs to the long-running McDonald's Collection series of restaurant giveaways, and its catalog lists 25 printings. The run is built around starter Pokémon and mascots rather than rare pulls: Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Piplup and Mudkip head the value list, and the set leans on Fire, Grass, Water and Lightning types.
This is a promotional run, so there is no deep rarity ladder to climb and no secret cards beyond the printed 25. The most valuable cards are Pikachu, illustrated by Sanosuke Sakuma, followed by Bulbasaur by Mizue, Squirtle by tetsuya koizumi and Piplup by Shibuzoh. Mudkip, drawn by Aya Kusube, rounds out the top five. Those five cards hold 46 percent of the set's total card value, so value is spread more evenly than in most sets, though Pikachu clearly leads. Sixteen illustrators contributed, with 5ban Graphics and Ken Sugimori each credited on three cards.

Completing McDonald's Collection 2021 means tracking down all 25 printings, and every one of them is priced. Because the top five cards account for 46 percent of the set's total card value, the cost of a complete run is driven mostly by Pikachu and the other starter Pokémon, while the remaining cards are comparatively modest. The page lists one sealed product for the set, a booster pack, which suits a run that was originally distributed in small packs.
