Oh, the world of Pokemon cards is a wild one, with fakes lurking in the shadows! First off, check the card's texture and color. Real Pokemon cards have a certain quality feel to them, and the colors are vibrant but not overly bright. The font used on fake cards often looks just a bit off too. Hold it up to the light; real cards have a bit of a holographic layer that fakes usually miss. And don't forget the weight! Real cards have a specific heft to them. Oh, and the border's color on the back of the card should be a deep blue, not faded or another shade.

Just weigh 'em. Real cards have a certain weight that fakes can't seem to match. Simple but effective.

Honestly, the best way to avoid fakes is to buy from reputable sellers or directly from the official Pokemon website. Saves a lot of headache.
