To spot an ultra rare Pokemon card, check for unique holographic patterns, usually found in the illustration area or as a full-card shimmer. The card's rarity symbol, located at the bottom right corner, is a big clue—look for a silver star, sometimes with unique designs or colors. Ultra rares also often feature alternative or full-art designs, making them stand out from standard cards. If you're lucky to snag one, you've got a gem!

Ultra rare cards? Just look for the texture! Many ultra rares have a distinct, tactile feel due to embossed surfaces. Plus, the artwork often extends beyond the usual frame or includes special finishes. Easy peasy once you get the hang of it.

Honestly, it's all about the bling. Silver stars, holos, and sometimes they have these cool 3D effects that catch the light. If it looks extra fancy, you're probably holding onto an ultra rare!

Ultra rare? More like ultra obvious with those shining stars and holographic glitz. If it doesn't scream 'LOOK AT ME!', it's probably not ultra rare.
