    My sister has been collecting Pokemon cards for a long time now. I used to myself but I'm now 20 and figure I'm a little too old to keep up with it. Anyway, my sister showed me a Pikachu card that she got from the B&W set that has 360 HP. I suspect it might be a fake. I'm not sure. It's the "rare" version of the Pikachu (115/114). I've looked at this particular card online and they appear to have 60 HP. Anyone know why this particular card has 360 HP?

    Thanks for your time.
     
    It's most likely fake. The numbers for the HP and attack are a different font than the real card. They look thinner. It also looks like the energy symbols aren't holo, like the real one is. Here's an example, the left is the real card:


     
    Yeah, that's a fake. I don't see a little accent over the "e" in Pokemon in the little stats bar under the picture on the card, and it's not capitalized properly, either. Those energy symbols also look off, and the rarity star on that particular Pikachu card is only white, not black like on the fake version your sister has. The retreat cost of that Pikachu is also far too high, and doesn't match the "flavor" of any Pikachu card. I don't think there's every been a Pikachu card with a retreat cost of more than 1 energy.
