Spotting a fake rainbow Pokemon card can be tricky, but there are a few giveaways. Firstly, check the card's texture. Real rainbow cards have a distinct, slightly rough texture due to their unique holographic pattern. Fakes often miss this and feel smooth or have an off texture. Also, examine the card's colors and holographic effect closely. Genuine cards have vibrant colors and a rainbow sheen that changes under different light angles. If the colors look dull or the holographic effect is missing, that's a red flag. Lastly, look at the card's edges and printing quality. Real Pokemon cards have clean, sharp edges and high-quality printing, while fakes may have blurry text or uneven edges.

Just weigh it! Real Pokemon cards have a specific weight to them, and fakes usually can't match it exactly. Get yourself a precise scale, and start weighing!

Real talk, if you got it super cheap from a sketchy source, it's probably fake. Real rainbow cards ain't cheap and they rarely pop up at 'too good to be true' prices.
