Kalos Starter Set Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the Kalos Starter Set master set

The Kalos Starter Set master set comes down to two families: 39 normal prints, one for every card, and 9 holo slots on top. That gives the set a simple structure with no reverse holo layer and no stamped or edition-specific prints. A holo here is a foil-treated version of a card that also exists in its normal finish, so those nine slots are the only places where a single card needs two copies to count as complete.

Hardest Kalos Starter Set master set slots

A handful of slots decide how hard this master set is to finish. Snorlax in its normal print is the highest-value slot, followed by the Greninja holo, then the normal prints of Miltank, Bidoof and Skitty. Together these five slots hold 61 percent of the master set's total value. The Greninja holo is the one that catches people out, since it is a variant rather than the card's main print, and a collector who owns the normal Greninja still has that slot open.

How the Kalos Starter Set master set compares

At 48 slots, the Kalos Starter Set master set is about 1.5 times the era median of 31 slots, yet it ranks 1st by master set value among the 9 comparable sets of its XY era. The neighboring starter kits are smaller and hold less value: BW trainer Kit (Zoroark) runs to 30 slots and XY trainer Kit (Noivern) to 31, and the master sets of both hold lower total value. Among its closest relatives, this is the larger and higher-value job.
