The Giant Pokémon non-TCG Identification Thread

Thought i’d add some cards i have in my possession that someone might find interesting. Some of these are more common but also some more obscure ones. I don’t have much information for many of these but i know some people that definitely can add information on some of these.

First would like to start with mentioning a small details about burger king trivia cards from the original post that i think would be nice to know if one is interested in them, in the photo there is a perforated card as mentioned in bulbapedia article (there were total of 20 different sheets of 9 cards so a lot of the cards had a double) but there also were cards with clean edges that were given separately as promo cards, so for every card there is 2 variants (or 3 for some of them if you count that for doubles their placement in sheets varies so the clean and perforated edge placements are different for cards from different sheets). Thought i’d mention since at least i personally wanted both versions :blush:

But for the rest:

Pokemon Kellogg’s game tip cards:

Bilingual canadian release where one side of card was in english and one in french, they came with Kellogg’s cereal boxes in 1999.

bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Game_Tip_Cards_(Kellogg)

Dimensions: width 64mm; height 83mm; thickness around the same as regular tcg card


Pokemon Ga-ole:

Arcade game tags that could be obtained by catching the pokemon in arcade game and then printing a physical copy of it (also the ball which was used to capture the pokemon gets printed so a lot of variants exist).

Dimensions: width 45mm; height 73mm; thickness around 4mm, made of plastic


Pokemon Mezastar:

Very similar to Ga-ole. Also Pokemon Tretta and Pokemon Battrio with same kind of arcade game mechanics exist, made by same companies but i lack any copies of those (since no grimer or muk was released in either of them)

Dimensions: width 36mm; height 64mm; thickness around 4mm, made of plastic


Pokemon Cromo:

These were released in 1999 in Spain by Santizo Editores and they were sold in boosters of 6 cards. The sales mechanics was quite unique since the boosters were sold in strips hanging from the stores where the amount of boosters bought was removed from the strip, so no booster boxes with this set. The set consists of 96 cards and while i don’t know the exact set list i know that they only released the first form of all evolution stages and all the single stage pokemon (including pokemon like legendary birds, mewtwo and mew) and some puzzle pieces putting together some characters and their pokemon from anime.

Dimensions: width: 63mm; height 89mm; thickness and overall card feel is similar to topps cards


Pokemon 3Reyes:

These aren’t licensed products, i would compare them to funskool, but if i’ve understood correctly they are basically “the official” peruvian pokemon product so i included them anyway. They used to be licensed under the name of Navarette but they lost the license in 2016 when they started printing products under different name.

Dimensions: width: 64mm; height 90mm; thickness around the same as regular tcg card


I’ll also include these but i don’t have any setlists or “official” info for them, just adding the bits of info i have and someone else can add to it.

Pokemon topsun sticker sets:

Even though cards made by topsun may be the more popular ones, they also did a big chunk of stickers. There is two different kinds of sticker types as far as i know, each the same size as amada stickers so 52mm side with a thickness of regular sticker.

The first ones i believe were released first, from the regular stickers in the photo i know not all pokemon were printed in them, don’t remember if it was only 1st stage pokemon or also the middle stage if one existed and what was the case with single stage pokemon, but the last forms were left out completely from the regular cards. Holo stickers existed too within the set and they consisted of what’s considered the better pokemon. I think @nidokingdom, can reveal more precise info about topsun stickers.


The latter topsun stickers consisted of sets of whole stages and they could be formed as a whole picture. Few different sets exist with different variants in them. I only have this muk in my hands atm but nidokingdom very kindly has sent me the grimer i’ve been in search of!


Pokemon staks:

Magnets made by panini, few different sets exist with some language variants. Also holo magnets exist. Will add a link with some info but not sure how outdated some of the info is.

pkmn.net/?action=content&page=viewpage&id=7402&parentsection=74

Dimensions: side: 40mm; thickness around 0,5mm; plastic feel with a back of regular black magnet

Pokemon Sandylion:

Sandylion released few different pokemon sticker sets but the most collectable ones as singles probably are the bigger ones that could either be perforated from sticker sheets or opened from boosters. If i’ve understood correctly the only difference between them is the perforated edges from sheets vs clean edges from boosters. I don’t have boosters (pics can easily be found online tho) or clean edge variants but added the perforated ones and the sheets they can be obtained from. Also added different sandylion sticker sheets after them.

Dimensions: width 50mm; height 83mm; thickness the same as stickers usually are




Pokemon Ddakji:

Ddakji is a korean game and they have some pokemon related stuff too, i don’t know much about how or when they were released but i know that basically all pokemon (at least from gen 1-7) are included in ddakji tiles and many of them have 2 different tiles, including for example all alolan pokemon. I’ll also add a link of gameplay of ddakji so you’ll understand why my examples too have some damaged edges and corners, not a good game if one wants to collect the tiles too :blush:

Dimensions: side: 45mm; thickness 1mm and the card material feels like some thick cardboard but the surface is very slippery so not sure what the material really is. I also know some of the tiles are a lot smaller, i have a smaller kanto muk in my middleman service but i can’t get my hands on it anytime soon.


Pokemon Karuta:

This set i know basically nothing. I only know that karuta is a traditional japanese card game so it’s no wonder they united 2 japanese big products and printed some pokemon karuta cards.

Dimensions: width 61cm; height 79mm; thickness is a bit less than 1mm and the card seems to be made of thick cardboard.
