How do you know if a Pokemon card is shiny?

ReplyingTheft·7 months ago

Shiny cards ain’t just pretty; they're like a status symbol in the TCG community. If the card is part of a special set or has that glittery holo look, you've got yourself a shiny. Pro tip: Some shinies are super subtle, so double-check those backgrounds and card textures!

Shiny Pokemon cards have a distinct sparkle or shine to them that regular cards don't have. They're kind of like the unicorns of the Pokemon card world. Look for a holo (short for holographic) effect either on the Pokemon image itself or in the background. Some shiny cards also have a different color scheme than their regular counterparts, which can be a dead giveaway. And don't forget the card number; if it's outside the regular set number, you might have a shiny on your hands!
