Easiest way to tell if a Pokémon card is real or fake is by looking at the card's texture and color. Real cards have a certain smoothness and color depth that fakes often can't replicate. The printing quality on real cards is also top-notch, so check for any blurring or smudging in the text or artwork. Another dead giveaway is the card's weight; real Pokémon cards have a specific heft to them. And don't forget the light test! Hold it up to a light source; if it's real, it should be semi-transparent.

Just feel the card dude. Real Pokémon cards have this unique texture that's kinda hard to describe but totally different from regular paper or fake cards. If it feels off, it probably is.

Honestly, the easiest way might just be to buy from a reputable dealer or the official Pokémon website. Why risk getting a fake when you can get the real deal with a guarantee?

Checker the border edges and card back design for one. Fakes often mess this up, making the blue borders either too light or dark. Real Pokémon cards are consistent in their design. Plus, the Pokéball on the back of real cards has a clear and distinct design, which fakes often get wrong.
