How can I tell if my Dark Blastoise is real?
Dark Blastoise is classified as medium counterfeit risk: Dark Blastoise is a recognised Team Rocket counterfeit target. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
