How to know if your Pokemon card is holo
Holos shine bright like a diamond! Just catch some light on it, and if it sparkles, you got yourself a holo. If it doesn't, well, better luck next time.

Hold it up to the light. No sparkle? No holo. Easy.
Simple trick: tilt the card back and forth under a light. If it's holo, you'll see a shiny, reflective pattern on the picture part of the card. Non-holo cards just look flat under the light. Also, check the card number at the bottom right - if it's got a star or says 'Holo' there, you're in shiny town!
Actually, not all holos are super obvious. Some have subtle effects or only certain parts are holographic. Always check the card number and rarity symbol!
