Just weigh 'em! Real cards have a specific weight due to the quality and layers of the paper. Fakes often weigh less because they're printed on cheaper material. Not as reliable as the other methods but still a quick check.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Look at the card texture and color first. Real Pokemon cards have a distinct smooth feel and the colors are vibrant but not overly bright. If it's too glossy or the images look kinda washed out, you might be holding a fake. Also, check the card's edges. Real cards have clean, neat edges. If the edges are rough or uneven, big red flag there. And don't forget the light test - hold it up to a light. If you can see through it, it's a fake for sure because real Pokemon cards have a layer of black ink in the middle that prevents light from shining through.
