A pack of four cards was included in Happy Meals during the promotion, along with atoy, consisting of a plastic or cardboard spinner and coin, or a book.
The spinner and coin were used to play a game called Match Battle. Two players choose one of the four cards and compare data points in a best three out of five match. The spinner chooses the data point (HP, height, weight, Pokédex number, or set number) while the coin indicates whether the higher or lower number wins (heads is higher, tails is lower).
