Visual Cues:
* Symbol: Legendary Pokemon cards have a star symbol in the top right corner of the card.
* Holofoil: Many (but not all) Legendary cards are holofoil, meaning they have a shimmering, rainbow effect on the card.
* Rarity: Legendary cards are typically rare or ultra rare, meaning they are less common than other cards. You can usually find the rarity symbol on the bottom right of the card.
* Name: While not always a guarantee, legendary Pokemon often have names like "Mewtwo," "Lugia," "Rayquaza," etc. These names are usually associated with powerful Pokemon in the franchise.
Specific Card Types:
* EX: Many legendary Pokemon have appeared as "EX" cards. These have a special "EX" logo on the card.
* GX: Similar to EX cards, "GX" cards are usually reserved for powerful and notable Pokemon, often including legendaries. They feature a "GX" logo on the card.
* V: "V" cards are introduced in the Sword & Shield era and often feature powerful Pokemon, sometimes including legendary Pokemon. They feature a "V" logo on the card.
Remember:
* Not all Legendary cards have all of these features. Some may be non-holofoil or have different rarity symbols.
* Some cards might visually resemble legendary cards but are not actually legendary.
* The best way to determine if a card is legendary is to look up the card's name on a Pokemon card database like Pokebeach, Bulbapedia, or TCGPlayer.
I hope this helps you identify those legendary Pokemon cards!
