What Does it Mean if There's an 'R' on Your Pokemon Card?
Don't get too excited, guys. The 'R' just means it's a reverse holo. Cool to have, but it's not like finding a golden ticket.

The 'R' on a Pokemon card typically indicates that it's a Reverse (or Reverse Holo) card. This means that all of the card except for the actual Pokemon image is holographic. It's a special aesthetic feature that makes the card look super cool! Regular cards don't have this shiny background, so if you've got one, it's a bit more special.
An 'R' on your Pokemon card? It's just a reverse holo. You know, where the shiny part is literally everywhere but the picture of the Pokemon. Looks awesome but doesn't make it ultra-rare or anything.
