Pokémon Magnet Collection 1

Amada Printing released this Pokémon Advanced Generation Magnet Collection in Japan in January 2005. A sealed 2005 pack photographed front and back states 45 magnets in all, split into 30 Normal magnets and 15 Special magnets, and sold three to a pack as two Normal and one Special. The pack carries JAN 4970381036201. Each magnet is raised and round, approximately 43 mm across.

The numbered archive covers #001–#045. Thirty-nine identities are now confirmed from photographed specimens whose printed number and printed name are readable in the same frame. Six numbers stay marked Identity pending, and they are #013, #022, #029, #033, #035 and #036. Each of those keeps its slot and its photo wells until a collector photograph or a contemporary checklist record settles it.

The 30-item main run and 15-item special run preserve the contemporary catalog’s “30 types plus alpha” structure and the documented pattern of the continuing Collection 2. That boundary is inherited exactly as this page has always drawn it. No row’s run label was re-derived, and no identity was placed by run.

A printed number, not a species, decides which collection a magnet belongs to. Collection 1 runs #001 to #045 and Collection 2 continues at #046. The numbering was tested rather than assumed. Seventeen specimens read in this pass carry numbers whose identities are already settled, four of them existing Collection 1 rows and thirteen of them Collection 2 rows, and every one of the seventeen agreed. There were no disagreements. Species do repeat across the two collections, so a name on its own never places a piece.

One identity published here earlier is corrected. #008 is Seedot, not Grovyle. Two independent specimens print 008 beside the name タネボー. A Grovyle specimen from the same product family prints 080 beside ジュプトル, which is exactly where Collection 2 publishes Grovyle. The numbered oval sits rotated on these magnets, so 080 read the wrong way up reads as 008, and that is the likeliest source of the earlier reading. Grovyle now leaves Collection 1 entirely.

One lookalike is worth naming. A separate 2006 Magnet Collection DX product prints rectangular cards under its own numbering, and those numbers overlap this range. Nothing from it is used here. Every identity on this page was read off a round 43 mm magnet whose own face carries the number, and every number keeps separate front and back photo slots so a missing identity can be recovered without guessing.
