Evolving Skies Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the Evolving Skies master set

Most slots in the Evolving Skies master set come from three standard families: Reverse Holo with 132 slots, Holo with 125 and Normal with 112. Reverse holos are printed for the Common, Uncommon, Rare and Holo Rare cards, so those tiers are where a reverse holo slot appears alongside the regular print. Beyond those, a handful of special families add to the binder: Normal Trick Or Trade with 4 slots, Holo Snowflake with 3 and Holo Jumbo with 2. These stamped and oversized prints are small in number but each needs its own pocket.

Where the Evolving Skies master set's cost sits

Value in the Evolving Skies master set is concentrated at the top. The ten most valuable slots hold 74 percent of the total, and holo slots account for 99 percent of it, leaving reverse holos with just 1 percent. The lower-value half of the priced slots holds a small remainder, so most of the binder adds little to the total. Of 378 slots, 376 carry a price. As of October 24, 2026, an LP and up master set sits 19 percent below the Near Mint total, and an MP and up set sits 31 percent below it.

Hardest Evolving Skies master set slots

Five holo slots make the Evolving Skies master set hard to finish: the Umbreon VMAX secret rare, the Rayquaza VMAX secret rare, the Rayquaza V ultra rare, the Dragonite V ultra rare and the Leafeon VMAX secret rare. Together they hold 56 percent of the master set's total value. None is a variant slot; each is the card's main holo print, so the difficulty here lies in the headline cards themselves, and the remaining slots are comparatively easy to fill.
