Help Fake Card? Or Weird Mistake?

[MusicMonkey111]

Hi all. I'm currently sorting my 400+ Pokemon cards. I've found this Ludicolo that I'm pretty sure is a fake. A google search has shown this card to be an actual card from 2007 however mine says Ludicolo evolves from Hoppip instead of Lombre. Just wanting to see what others think.

That’s a fake card, sorry man. The HP is the wrong font (should be bolder) and placed wonky on the card, and the Pokédex height / weight information is also the wrong font.

Some other checks: does the back of the card look discoloured (too light or too dark), and does the card feel flimsy? If it is real, you should also be able to look at the sides of the card and see a very thin black line between the front and back cardboard faces.

Yes, the energy symbols look wrong too. I agree to trying the feel and backside. But otherwise the fake is quite well-done.
