The hardest slots in the EX trainer Kit 2 (Plusle) master set sit at the top of a very short list: Plusle in holo, then Metang, Meowth, Lightning Energy and Grumpig in normal. The full master set comes to 12 slots against 12 cards, so every card has exactly one slot and no card carries an extra variant. Normal prints make up 11 slots and a single holo makes up the other. At nine cards a side, the whole run fits on 1 double-sided binder page. It is a small master set checklist for an English-language Pokémon TCG release of the EX era, dated March 1, 2006.
Only two variant families make up the EX trainer Kit 2 (Plusle) master set: Normal, with 11 slots, and Holo, with 1. There are no reverse holo versions, stamped prints or edition variants to track, so the master set checklist is simply the 12 numbered cards, with the Plusle slot being the holo print and the rest normal prints. Completing the set means finding one copy of each card in the right finish and nothing more.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 11 | 11 | 20% |
| Holo | 1 | 1 | 80% |
The master set cost for EX trainer Kit 2 (Plusle) is concentrated at the top. As of October 24, 2026, all 12 of the 12 slots carry a price, and the ten most valuable slots hold 98 percent of the total value, while the lower-value half of the slots holds just 7 percent. By finish, the lone holo accounts for 81 percent of the value and the 11 normal slots share the remaining 19 percent. Condition matters a great deal: the LP and up total sits 32 percent below the Near Mint total, and the MP and up total sits 54 percent below it.

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
Five slots carry nearly all the difficulty in the EX trainer Kit 2 (Plusle) master set. Plusle in holo ranks first by value, followed by the normal prints of Metang, Meowth, Lightning Energy and Grumpig. Together they hold 91 percent of the master set's total value. None of them is a variant slot, since each is the card's main print rather than an alternate version. The difficulty here is plain scarcity in a set this small, with the holo Plusle standing well apart from the rest.
At 12 slots, the EX trainer Kit 2 (Plusle) master set is about equal to the era median of 11 slots, so it is a typical size for the EX era. By master set value it ranks 4th among the 4 comparable sets of the era, which puts it at the lower-value end. Its neighbours are similar in scale: the previous set, EX trainer Kit (Latios), has 10 slots and a higher-value master set, while the next, DP trainer Kit (Lucario), has 11 slots and a lower-value one.

A EX trainer Kit 2 (Plusle) master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 12 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.
