  • Seen in 0% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 2 copies.
  • Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Cottonee is real?

Cottonee is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. 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.
