How to tell fake GX cards?

To spot fake Pokémon GX cards, check for fuzzy text, wrong fonts, incorrect HP/attack stats, dull colors, and blurry or wrong holo patterns; real ones have sharp details, a distinct texture (on full arts), a specific card back color/swirl, and a black layer you can see when held to light (the "light test"). A key giveaway is the lack of texture on fake full arts and the presence of a black inner layer in real cards that blocks light, unlike fakes where light passes through easily.
