How to Check if a Pokemon Card is Real
First off, check the card's texture and color. Authentic Pokemon cards have a distinct, consistent color and a smooth finish, except for certain special cards which might have unique textures. Also, real cards have a clear, crisp printing of text and images. A magnifying glass can help you spot any blurring or smudging, which is a red flag. Don't forget to look at the back of the card too; fake cards often have a different shade of blue or a blurry Pokémon logo.

The easiest way is the light test: real Pokemon cards have a thin layer of black inside, so when you hold them up to a light, they shouldn't be completely see-through. If you can see light shining straight through, chances are you've got a fake.
Weight can sometimes give it away. Genuine Pokemon cards have a certain heft to them due to the quality of paper used. If it feels too light or flimsy, you might want to question its authenticity.
