First, check the card texture. Real Pokemon cards have a distinct, smooth feel, not too glossy or too matte. The color on the back should be a consistent blue, not faded or off-color. Look at the edges of the card; real ones have clean, sharp cuts. Also, the text and illustrations should be high-quality and clear, no blurs or misprints. Finally, the card should have a thin black layer in the middle if you look at it from the side. If it's missing, it's likely a fake.

Honestly, if it looks weird, it probably is. I got a 'Pikachu' once that looked more like a rat drawn by my little cousin. Defo fake.

Just weigh it, bro. Real cards have a specific weight to them because of the quality paper. If it feels too light or too heavy, something's off.
