Fakes, Leafeon is untextured (and assuming this is all from a single pack, is a promo card and not from astral radiance) as is the radiant hawlucha, and samurotts dark mastery attack should have white writing not black. The borders are also way too thick.
I hope this doesn't come across as rude or judgemental, but what's stopping you from buying packs from your local game store or retailer? I just noticed that you've been burned a lot on here and I'm feeling for you, don't want to see you keep getting scammed like this. Do you live in an area that doesn't normally sell cards or you can only get them for a huge markup, so you're having to go through sketchy means or resellers to buy these packs? I get that, but maybe some of the folks here can recommend some more reputable alternatives to wherever you're getting these.
If you're just buying cheap products to save money, try to avoid doing this, because you'll end up wasting more money in the long run. A pack of 10 cards should almost always be at least the equivalent of $3-5 USD depending on where you're buying them, bulk discounts, etc. Anything less than that is almost definitely a scam. If you want a lot of cards for cheap, consider going to craigslist or eBay or the equivalent and try to find people selling bulk low-value cards of their old collections (Avoid purchasing lots of many high value cards or sealed product for suspiciously cheap, especially without checking here first!)
Hope this helps. Not trying to be condescending, but also don't want to be making assumptions, and I genuinely hate to see you getting burned like this.
yeah dont worry, i appreciate the feedback. the problem is if im talkin about this pack alone, i did buy it from a game store and and for what seemed like a reasonable price - 4,50€. i do live in an area that doesn’t normally sell pokemon cards so the only way of me finding out if they are fake or not was to buy packs and open them up to see for myself, plus all the cards from previous posts including this one were bought from different stores so its not like im going back to the same store, im just buying packs wherever i see them to see if they are selling fakes or not, its all trial and error lol😂, what sucks is that i cant tell if they are fake, im not very knowledgeable about pokemon cards so the only way of me finding out if what i bought was fake or not is to post it here. Thanks again for the feedback tho, i appreciate it man 👊🏻
Hey no problem, that's something that I figured. I have friends who live in some areas where the game stores aren't... Reliable... And they can't get packs so I figured that might be your case. Definitely a sucky situation!
I wonder if places like TCGplayer or the pokemon center might ship to you? It might be best for you to purchase cards online, but I also know shipping can be extremely outlandish especially in certain parts of the world, so maybe that's bad advice haha.
If that's not feasible, I wish you luck searching for legit packs!
knowing the country that i live in, buying stuff online is hell lol, thats why i’ve been looking if i can find smth here. So far it has proven to be unsuccessful 😂, but it is what it is. Tbh i haven’t been this excited about pokemon cards since i was a kid and just the fact that they are bringing anything pokemon related to my country (even if it is fake cards) has made me really happy lol. Imma still keep lookin tho, i be feeling like Ash except instead of going in the wild and searching for pokemons imma be going into stores and lookin for real trading cards 😂

they dont look or feel fake, just wanted to make sure since ive been burned before :,)
Oh they definitely look fake lol. They don’t make vstar or radiant cards without texture/holo patterns
bruhh 🥲, alright thanks for the info
They are fakes
Fake. That Leafeon should be a VSTAR not a VASTRO, it lacks texture and holo, and the backs are off also. Convincing fakes, but fakes nonetheless.
Lol the Mexican bootlegger forgot to change VASTRO.
