What paper are Pokemon cards made out of?
Pokemon cards have that special feel because they're made from a premium paper stock that's thicker and more durable than your average cardstock. They also have a thin layer of plastic on them, which is why they're kinda shiny and why they survive a spill better than your homework.

It's not just any paper; it's a high-quality, layered paper with some plastic coating to make those cards last longer and give them their iconic shine. Gotta keep those cards looking fresh for the battles ahead!
Just cardboard, folks. But fancy.
If you're thinking you'll just print your own at home, think again. That unique texture and weight come from a specific type of paper that's not your run-of-the-mill printer paper. Plus, there's a coating that makes them feel a bit plastic-like. It's all about durability and that satisfying flick when you shuffle them.
