How to Tell if a Pokemon Card is Shiny
Not all that glitters is gold, but in the Pokemon TCG world, it might just be shiny! Shiny Pokemon cards usually have a unique shiny logo or symbol somewhere on the card, aside from the obvious holographic gleam. If you're ever in doubt, check online databases and compare your card to confirmed shinies.

Easy peasy! Shiny Pokemon cards have a distinct glitter or holographic pattern that's not on the regular cards. If the card looks like it's sparkling or has a rainbow sheen when you tilt it in the light, congrats, you've got a shiny! Also, shiny Pokemon often have different coloration than their regular counterparts, so keep an eye out for unusual colors.
lol just look for the bling. If it shines, it's a shiny. Simple.
Honestly, lots of folks get too caught up in the shiny hype. Yeah, they're cool and all, but don't forget the joy of just collecting and playing. Shine or no shine, love your Pokemons all the same.
