Just weigh it dude, real cards have a specific weight to them because of the material they use. If it's too light, it's probably a fake.

One quick test is the light test. Real Pokemon cards have a layer in the middle that's kinda like black paper. If you hold it up to a light, you shouldn't see much light coming through. Also, check the coloring and font, they should be crisp and match what you see in guides or legit sources online. Oh, and feel the texture, especially on rare cards. Fakes often feel off, either too glossy or too rough!

Honestly? The best way is to buy from official retailers or reputable sellers. Too many good fakes out there now.
