Hard to tell from this image,

dm’d on insta, however i figure’d i’d share on the sub as well. definitely a double sparkle but doesn’t seem to line up with trainofthought’s research of it being different colors than the normal one, because this looks quite similar to me. almost seems like its missing a print layer and letting the foil through too much, based mostly on the eyes.

sorry to necro this.. just found out this error is likely insufficient white ink covering the holo essentially showing what appears to be way more holo than intended.
Don’t apologize. The sparkly pretty boy variant is one that I’m on the hunt for so any information is welcomed.
Edit: so it’s not actually double holo, it just looks like it?

exactly right! no holofoil was actually applied twice, rather it just shows wayyy more than they meant to. so conceptually yes its a “double holo” but the only real “double holo” variant is from neo. i would sell you mine if you’d like!
I want a PSA 10 copy so if you think it would get it then I would strongly consider it lol
I started my eBay for this very card, and rn i don’t have the funds from it, which is a bummer. But if you still have it when I make a couple more sales then I’ll hit you up! Barring condition of course though lol
unfortunately every copy i have seen (3) is off center in the exact same way. maximum a 9,5 from cgc. it cannot 10.
Noooooooo 
Just wanted to mention that this is a misnomer. “Double holo” variants of Neo Revelation cards do not have multiple holo layers, despite the implication of the name. They are missing portions of the white underprinted layer, whether purposeful (i.e., to align more closely with the Japanese counterparts) or accidental (i.e., technological glitch or human error).

oh so the exact same thing here?
With my limited knowledge, I think it’s equally likely that a slightly different holographic material (e.g., perhaps the extra sparkly foil used in Japanese or Chinese prints) was substituted for a unique print run. I think either option could have led to the change in opacity: different material vs. same material but different printing parameters. It’s hard to say one or the other with certainty at the moment.

we found a psa 10 today! Does anybody know why these two Moonbreon have such distinctly different holo? : r/PokemonTCG
also i sent mine to cgc (they did not label it, jesus..), heres the scan. you can clearly tell way more holofoil is showing than intended (white opaque layer nearly missing):
(attention to detail on the eyes as well as an overlay to show you it is the exact same holofoil pattern used:)
look at the shapes of the “pixels” (both from cgc scans)

Check the plate angles
The size of the “pixels” look completely different, somewhat supporting the different-holo-sheet theory.

the placement is exactly the same. the size is different because it’s completely showing rather than being properly covered, the exact same placement and pattern of “pixels” just wider, if you look again.
edit; wait i totally see what you mean but i think they still line up very well
Still havent seen any scans to show they may be the same plates, im theorizing different printers
i keep showing you they’re completely different regardless of the angle they’re shown in. and it’s shown above, my copy next to a normal one (in a slab in the same exact lighting)
You couldn’t see anything on any of those pictures, they were too poor resolution
I think you might be misunderstanding something (or I’m misunderstanding you). The holo pattern isn’t determined by the opaque white layer (i.e. the opaque white layer doesn’t control how large or small the holo pixels are). The white layer determines how much the holo pattern underlying the ink layers shows through. If the pixels are different sizes, then the original holo sheet is different.
Also, nightvulture is not talking about the angles of the pictures. They weren’t too clear, but they are interested in the printing details hidden in the rosette pattern, which can sometimes differentiate different prints by the angles of the different colors.
