If that is true, than someone was a real hoaxter, as he got the pack at walmart and there it was.

Was it one of those 15-card boosters of assorted cards? Because I think there was a thread on that a while back that concluded that those boosters sometimes do contain fake cards.

edit: This thread
 
I am not sure, my brother is at school but I will ask later. Do you know where I can read that thread? Also, how is a fake card put in a pack? On top of that, how does one spot a fake? I know, alot of questions lol.

It's a fake card, as is said before. A good way to look for fakes is seeing if anything looks "off" about the card. If it doesn't look normal, it's probably a fake. A lot I've seen have either the font not just right, the energy symbols for the attacks are not in the right place or just a little off, or it's "misprinted" but you've never heard of the misprint before. I assure you, there is no one of a kind misprint. Even Prerelease Raichu had like 8 of them or whatever, and that's the rarest and most expensive card in existence. Compare that card to the actual Charmeleon from that set and I bet you it will look different, other than just the name.

So, is it that sometimes fake cards get put into the packs that are sold at the store?

No, people sell you packs of only fake cards. This, however, is a fake. I remember reading up about how they made a fake one's like that. That is, I remember, I'm not sure.

But apparently there's one with Vulpix as what it evolves from on some of them |D
 
It was bought in Walmart. So, the whole pack was fake?

I am on another forum as well to try to come up with an answer, and there seems to be another misprint type of this card.
