Strategy & play
How Relicanth plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

- Fighting type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥50 effectively one-shots it.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Relicanth is real?
Relicanth 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.
