To figure out if a Pokemon card is an alternate art version, you gotta check a few things. First, look at the card number at the bottom. Alternate art cards often have a letter after the number, like 'A' or something similar. Also, the art itself usually stands out - it's different from the usual card art, depicting scenes or perspectives not seen in the card's regular version. Plus, these cards can sometimes feel more 'full' - like the artwork is taking up more of the card space, breaking out of the usual frame.
Honestly, just google the card. There's tons of info out there, and you'll know for sure if it's alternate art or not. Plus, seeing them side by side, you can really spot the differences in artwork.
