Lastly, I have to mention that the Pokemon TCG has a robust online system, which could take an article(s) all its own to go over. But, in brief, your kids can play online where there are excellent parental controls for both chat and trading/buying. You should definitely save the little code cards that come in the physical packs because your kids are going to like opening digital packs as much as if they were real ones.
All I knew about Pokemon The Card Game about a week ago is that my kids are obsessed with collecting and trading the cards, and that vast amounts of money (both theirs and mine) have gone into their collections. But that all changed after their latest bout of begging for yet MORE cards. I decided it was time we learned how to play the actual game. Little did I know, that this would then lead us down a rabbit hole of discovery that their collections have been infiltrated with counterfeit cards. I figured I'm probably not the only parent who had no idea there are fake Pokemon cards floating around, so hopefully you will find this article helpful!

First of all, let me say that the game itself, if you and your kids have not yet learned, is super fun and a great way to strengthen reading and math skills! Plus, there's all kinds of strategy involved, and no two games are the same. And if you really get into it, there may be a Pokemon TCG league nearby, where you and your kids can meet and play with new friends. To find the league nearest you, go to the official Pokemon website and type in your address HERE. My kids are really excited to try this soon. To be totally honest, so am I! But I'm a nerd like that so...
Down the rabbit hole we went. We googled, we watched youtube videos, we read articles. We examined their collections with magnifying glasses. We compared cards to each other and to online images. Now, I think, all three of us are pretty good at recognizing a fake. The kids will teach their friends, and I will teach you.
I hope these tips help you and your kids spot Pokemon fakes. Learning how to spot them turned into a fun, mystery detective game for us. Hopefully, your kids will be excited (instead of disappointed) to find a few in their collections. Turn it into a sleuthing game of Detective Pikachu and it will be fun. Then, the next time you buy cards at a flea market, you will know you are getting your money's worth!
One last tip! If you are buying cards online, be wary of third-party sellers offering lots of rare cards for cheap. Stick to reliable sources. Even cards packaged as new, may be fake. If you follow these guidelines, however, you should be able to buy second-hand cards from local card shops and neighborhood marketplaces with confidence.

For the record, I am a Type 2 who has started becoming a player too. I have a friend with a kid in the League who is a Type 1. When J, the store owner, needs extra hands on deck to help kids out, we often step in and have been thus dubbed as the Pokmoms, a title I carry with geeky pride. As a Pokmom, I have interacted with a lot of Type 2 and Type 3 parents, and this is a collection of some of the knowledge I gave them that I have found useful to know.
Lost Origin was the card series so I went online and Googled for the most valuable Lost Origin cards. The Pikachu in question was on it along with a few others. When we won a free booster box in a raffle the kids and I looked over the list to be on the lookout as we pulled cards. The other brother ended up with the same Pikachu card again, but this time we knew the worth when we saw it.
This issue happened with my family on Nov 4th and Nov 5th for both of my kids accounts. Like ChelC18 these are kid accounts in a family plan and Apple processed the payment but Niantic had no record of a transaction. This worked on Oct 29th for one of my kids so something changed between 10/29 and 11/4 at either Apple or Niantic. My account is a parent/guardian and my purchase of coins on Nov 4th worked. My guess is this problem is specific to kid accounts in family plans. We tried a variety of suggestions from the internet and Niantic with no success (e.g. restarts, log in/out, changing family settings, etc.).
My solution was to create a Google account for each of my kids. Launch Pokemon Go on their device, go to settings in the app and then link the Google account. Then, log in to with the Google account. You should see the Pokemon Go username and current coin balance. From there you can purchase coins. The coins appeared in my child's Pokemon Go app in a matter of seconds. It is also worth noting the price per coin in their store is better than through Apple. I've tested this on my account and both of my kids accounts and all three times it worked great.
I do hope this problem gets resolved and so far Apple has refunded every purchase that failed to result in Pokemon coins. Please do your own validation of the above before trying. I read that Niantic Kids accounts may not permit linking. Also, feel free to do your own search for the pokemon/Niantic store rather than trusting the link above. The store appears to have launched in April 2023. I hope this helps others.
Before my 15- and 19-year-old kids roped me into a Pokmon Go adventure, I was pretty darn sure the game was a waste of time, another way for kids to bury themselves in screens, and a potentially dangerous new craze. As it turns out, I was enjoying a nice ride on my high horse.
My renewed pledge: Instead of fearing technology my kids adopt, I will get involved in what they love. If you do the same, it may surprise you just how fun it can be. Go team Instinct!
