To tell if a Pokemon card is fake, start by checking the card's texture. Real cards have a certain smoothness and gloss; fakes often feel flimsy or overly glossy. The coloring can give it away too - counterfeits might look faded or just off in color. Don't forget to examine the font and alignment; irregularities there are red flags. Lastly, real Pokemon cards have a slight layer of black ink in the middle, visible when you look at the edge of the card. No black layer? Likely a fake.

Always check the card's weight! Real pokemon cards have a consistent weight, while fake ones might feel lighter or heavier. Also, legit cards have a distinct, crisp sound when you flick them. Fakes? Not so much.

Honestly, just buy from reputable sellers or the official Pokemon website. Saves you the headache of analyzing every card.
