Just look at the art style, bro. Newer gens tend to have more dynamic poses and detailed backgrounds. But yeah, the set symbol and year on the card are your best bets.

Honestly, if you're new, identifying the generation by the symbol might be a bit confusing at first glance. My advice? Grab an app or a site that specializes in Pokemon cards. You can scan your card and get all the details, including the generation, without the symbol hunt.

Easy peasy! Check out the bottom corner of your card. You'll see a small symbol there - that's the set symbol, and it can tell you which generation or set your card belongs to. Each Pokemon TCG generation has its own unique symbols, so a quick Google search for 'Pokemon TCG set symbols' should help you match the symbol on your card to its respective generation. Don鈥檛 forget, the card's year of release is also right next to the set symbol, giving you even more clues!
