The hardest part of the Battle Styles master set is not its size but where the difficulty concentrates, and the slot count explains why. The master set takes 316 slots against 183 cards: the set's official count is 163, with 20 secret rares above it, and each card adds about 1.7 slots on average. Reverse holos fill 123 slots, normal prints 110 and holos 83. Laid out nine to a side, the full run fills 18 double-sided binder pages. It is a mid-sized job for this Sword & Shield era expansion from March 19, 2021.
The Battle Styles master set checklist is built mostly on three families: Reverse Holo with 123 slots, Normal with 107 and Holo with 76. A reverse holo is the same card printed with a foil pattern across everything except the artwork box, and here it appears for Uncommon, Common, Rare and Holo Rare cards. The remainder is promotional and stamped material: Holo Foil Cosmos with 3 slots, Normal Trick Or Trade with 3 and Holo Jumbo with 2, plus two single Holo slots that carry retailer labels. Those small families add few slots, but each is a separate space in the binder.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reverse Holo | 123 | 123 | 4.4% |
| Normal | 107 | 107 | 2.6% |
| Holo | 76 | 76 | 89% |
| Holo Foil Cosmos | 3 | 3 | <1% |
| Normal Trick Or Trade | 3 | 3 | <1% |
| Holo Jumbo | 2 | 2 | 1.1% |
| Holo Eb Games | 1 | 1 | 2.3% |
| Holo Gamestop | 1 | 1 | <1% |
The Battle Styles master set cost is heavily top-weighted. The ten most valuable slots hold 62 percent of the total value, while the lower-value half of the priced slots holds just 3 percent. By finish, holos account for 93 percent of value, reverse holos 4 percent and normal prints 2 percent, so the 123 reverse holo slots add bulk to the binder far more than to the total. Condition matters moderately: an LP and up master set sits 7 percent below the Near Mint total, and an MP and up set 18 percent below. As of October 24, 2026, 316 of the 316 slots carry a price.

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
A handful of holos decide how hard the Battle Styles master set is to finish. Tyranitar V, an Ultra Rare, ranks first by value, followed by Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX, a Secret Rare, then the Ultra Rares Empoleon V and Mimikyu V, with Single Strike Urshifu VMAX, another Secret Rare, in fifth place. All five are the card's main Holo print, not variants, so none of the difficulty hides in an obscure finish. Together these five slots hold 50 percent of the master set's total value, which leaves the remaining slots comparatively straightforward.
At 316 slots, the Battle Styles master set is a little smaller than the Sword & Shield era median of 358 slots, about 0.9 times that size. By master set value it ranks 7th among the 17 comparable sets of its era. The set before it, Shining Fates, needs only 121 slots and its master set holds lower value. The set after it, Chilling Reign, asks for 381 slots and holds higher value, so Battle Styles sits in the middle of that run in both size and cost.

A Battle Styles master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 183 cards on this page, with their Normal, Reverse Holo and Holo prints each listed and priced on their own. Sign in and the checklist tracks what you own, in step with the Cardboard Alpha app.
The large NM-only figure is a complete catalog estimate when every printing has current NM pricing. LP, MP, HP, and DMG “and up” totals below it use the requested condition or a better available condition. These are summed reference prices, not a quote from one seller; a dash means the current market does not cover every printing yet.
“LP and up” means lightly played or better: the total uses LP when available, then NM as the better-condition fallback. The MP, HP, and DMG tiers follow the same pattern.
