How to Tell if You Have a Shiny Pokemon Card
Easy peasy! Shiny Pokemon cards have a distinct glitter or holographic pattern that isn't on the regular cards. If the card sparkles under the light, congrats, it's shiny! Also, check the card's illustration; shiny Pokemon have a different color scheme compared to their regular counterparts. A shiny Charizard, for example, is black instead of its usual orange.

If it's all shiny and sparkly, then you've got yourself a shiny! Also, the card texture feels different, kinda like it's got that extra oomph.
Honestly, just look at it. If it looks like it's throwing a disco party under the light, it's shiny. If not, it's just a regular card. Basic.
Pro tip: Shiny cards are not just about the bling. They often have a symbol or a marking on them indicating they are part of a special set or a rare collection. Always check the card number and symbol on the bottom right!
