Magmar
Legend has it that this Pokémon was born from the crater of a volcano. When wounded, it bathes in lava to heal its body, much as one would soak in a hot spring.

How to spot the original (Tomy)⚠ heavily faked
- Trap: bad paint ≠ fake✓ confirmed
Magmar quirk: even ORIGINALS have mediocre paint — collectors describe it as 'acceptable to utter crap', and the community has never produced a legit Magmar with perfect paint. Do NOT judge it on paint alone (either way).
- Fakes WITH stamp: check depth✓ confirmed
Magmar bootlegs usually CARRY a Tomy stamp. The difference is DEPTH: on a fake the engraving loses edge and depth (especially toward the last letters). Always add the seam test.
- Very HTF: cheap = fake✓ confirmed
Alongside Electrode it's the hardest standard Kanto ('Very HTF', noted 'tons of bootlegs'). A cheap, available, or generic-lot Magmar is almost certainly fake.
