Pokémon GO is famous for great partnerships that are hard to overlook. In 2016, Niantic decided to give Starbucks fans this rare partnership in the form of the new Frappuccino Blended Creme. This time the AI game maker has provided a recent cross-over with McDonalds, although it is only for those PoGo game players in the United States.

Quite soon, trainers will be able to come to McDonalds restaurants across the country to witness one-of-a-kind In-game incentives of Sponsored Pokestops, Gyms, and many more.

Pokémon GO x McDonald's Collaboration: A New Adventure Awaits

'Pokemon GO' Collaborates With McDonald's—Catch Mons Soon If You're Living

The new collaboration means that fans of the Pokémon GO game could participate in the world of Pokémon GO right while having a meal at McDonald's. Lure Modules placed at McDonald's PokéStops will keep trainers that come to participating McDonald's in the U.S. on their toes as they get to have a variety of Pokémon to train. These special stops will be available during some weeks making it possible for Trainers to get the Pokémon of their dreams and prove their best play experience.

During the partnership, Lure Modules that attract Pokémon to PokéStops will be available at McDonald's locations. These modules will be active each day from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time for specific weeks.

With the bonus of Lures, Trainers can look forward to catching some of their favorite Pokémon while having a meal at McDonald's.

What Pokemons Will Be at McDonald's?

Everyone seems to be curious about what mons are catchable at McDonald's. Since Niantic did not release any announcement about it, Redditors speculate what will be included in the lineup.

In the r/pokemongo subreddit, Fallenjedi1985 wrote that Niantic should add Vanilite spawn in the ice cream machines. Another user commented that McDonald's should also have Rattatas and Raticates.

Aside from these two mons, some Reddit users said that they expect Snorlax, Breloom, Slaking, Grimer, Mr. Mime, Trubbish, Primeape, and Jynx.
