How to Check if Pokemon Cards are Real or Fake
To spot a fake, start by feeling the texture. Real Pokemon cards have a unique smooth feel, not too glossy or too matte. Check the card's border; genuine ones have clean, consistent borders. The color is another giveaway - fakes often have colors that are too dull or too bright. Pay attention to the card's font and alignment; any inconsistency here is a red flag. Lastly, the light test: Hold the card up to a light; if it's genuine, you should not be able to see through it.

Fake cards usually feel cheaper, so don't ignore that off vibe you get when you touch them. Also, misspellings are a dead giveaway. Even Pokemon names can get botched on fakes.
Real talk, just use the light test. If you can see light through it, it's a no-go.
I once bought a pack that turned out to be fake. The holo pattern was all wrong, looked like it was printed on rather than part of the card itself. Always check the holo!
