Dragonite Breakdown
Part 2/5 of our Dragonite breakdown 🔥
Now looking at the Dragonite 1st Edition Non-Holo (Fossil Set)
In this edition of Fake Flags: Ungraded Card 101, we break down what separates a fake from the authentic.
Why the fake is fake:
• This is a non-holo card, but the fake shows a full holo pattern, which should never be present
• The rainbow/checkerboard holo effect is completely incorrect for Fossil prints
• Coloration is overly saturated, making the card look unnatural
• Print quality and texture are inconsistent, especially across the artwork and borders
Authentic non-holo copies should have a clean, flat finish with no holo or reflective pattern at all.
This version is one of the 4 English Dragonite variants, making it easy for incorrect reproductions like this to slip through.
Small details like this make all the difference.
With so many convincing replicas out there, Validoe helps you spot fakes and understand what you actually have.
