How to Unbend Pokemon Card Sleeves
Oh, the classic bent card sleeve dilemma! Here’s a trick that works like a charm: lay the sleeve flat under a stack of heavy books for a day or two. Make sure the sleeve is clean and dry first. This method usually flattens them out pretty well without damaging the sleeve or the card inside. If you're in a hurry, you can also try ironing the sleeve. Just place a thin cloth over it and use a low heat setting on your iron. Move the iron gently and don't let it sit in one place to avoid melting the plastic.

I once accidentally spilled water on my card sleeves, and after they dried, they were all bent up. I put them under a heavy book overnight, and they were almost as good as new by morning. It's not a perfect fix, but it definitely helps!
Honestly, flattening bent card sleeves is more trouble than it's worth. Better to keep your cards safe by replacing the sleeves if they get damaged. It's a small price to pay to keep your collection in top condition.
Just throw them away and buy new ones. Card sleeves are cheap.
