CP5 Mythical & Legendary Dream Shine: Guide

What Is CP5?

CP5, formally the 幻・伝説ドリームキラコレクション (Mythical & Legendary Dream Shine Collection), is the fifth entry in Japan’s Concept Pack line — a series of tie-in releases built around movies, campaigns, or themes rather than a single new expansion mechanic. CP5 released on July 16, 2016, alongside the 19th Pokemon animated film, which centered on Volcanion and introduced Magearna to audiences for the first time.

Structurally, every card in CP5 carries the same gloss-coated, specially-foiled holo treatment — there is no printed rarity symbol distinguishing a common Pokemon from a legendary one, which is unusual even by Concept Pack standards. The set groups mythical and legendary Pokemon almost exclusively, and several appear twice under different card numbers within the same set.

2016 was also Pokemon’s 20th anniversary year, and CP5’s roster leans heavily on the mythical Pokemon featured in that year’s international “Mythical Collection” promo campaign — the 20th anniversary series that gave each classic mythical its own monthly release.

Meet the Mythicals: Celebi, Mew, Shaymin, and More

The backbone of CP5 is Pokemon’s full mythical roster as it stood in mid-2016: Celebi, Mew, Shaymin, Victini, Manaphy, Keldeo, Meloetta, Jirachi, Genesect, Volcanion, and Magearna all appear. Several of these were also featured in that year’s international “Mythical Collection” promo series, which is a strong signal of why CP5 exists as a standalone release rather than a normal expansion.

Magearna gets particular attention in this set. It had only just been revealed as the newest mythical Pokemon ahead of the movie’s release, and CP5 gave it two card slots (030/036 and 031/036).

Celebi 001/036 (CP5)

Celebi 002/036 (CP5)

Mew 016/036 (CP5)

Celebi occupies both 001/036 and 002/036, and our current graded stock is from the 002/036 slot — the PSA 10 Celebi 1st Edition [CP5 002/036], currently listed at ¥90,640. As a single graded copy, it’s a single graded listing: once it sells, that specific slot is gone from our stock until we source another. For a broader look at every Celebi printing we track across sets, see our companion guide, Celebi Cards Guide.

1st Edition CP5: What It Means

Bulbapedia’s set entry for CP5 doesn’t call out a 1st Edition print run in its main text, but 1st Edition CP5 singles do circulate on the secondary market — graded slabs and raw singles both show up under that designation, including examples of the Celebi 002/036 card specifically. Our own graded stock from this set follows the same pattern: the Celebi 002/036 copy is tagged 1st Edition on its grading label, and the Arceus 036/036 copy carries the same tag on its listing.

If you’re new to Japanese 1st Edition cards generally — how the stamp works, why collectors chase it, and which sets carry it — our broader Japanese 1st Edition Pokemon Cards Guide covers the mechanics across multiple eras, CP5 included.
