Hi all I’m new to the forum today. Getting into collecting after not touching a Pokemon card for 15 years or so. I was wondering what different types of holo foils there are. I.e cosmo, shattered etc. Also if anyone knows and could be really helpful to me it would be nice to know what holo foil is from which sets etc.
I love the look of holos in dragon frontiers which I will start collecting does anyone know this type of holo?
Thanks

There are A LOT more though, which I don’t own.
PS: This list was copy-pasted from my collection catalog (which I need to update now that I’ve reorganized my collection last week).
Might update it with an example of the set and language later on perhaps.

Thanks a lot 
and your right here are a lot of types. Too many to get my head round just yet. I seem to really like the holos in ex dragon frontiers and have now seen that holo phantoms are similar/the same so I may start my collection with these.
I will have to look through everyone’s collections this forum seems really helpful
Thanks again
I now know what I will start my collection with. I will be picking up all holo energy cards from ex holon phantoms along with the holos plus I will also try pick up the holo energy cards from ex power keepers these lot look so nice. Il be trying to get graded and ungraded cards.
