About this item
Palafin 003/015 in the M26 set
Palafin was named before the official reveal: on October 27, 2026, GameRant and PokéZentrum listed it, with Metagross and Hawlucha, as three of the cards, two days before McDonald's and The Pokémon Company announced the promotion. On the card itself, the Pokédex number is 0964, the weakness is Lightning (×2), the retreat cost is two Energy, and the bottom line reads Illus. Souichirou Gunjima, regulation mark G, M26EN 003/015. Since November 10, 2026, two of the 15 M26 cards have come with every US Happy Meal, through December 14 according to The Pokémon Company.
