Mega Evolution Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the Mega Evolution master set

The Mega Evolution master set is built mostly from three families: Reverse Holo with 122 slots, Normal with 110 and Holo with 91. The reverse holo slots come from the Common, Uncommon and Rare cards, which is why the master set runs well past the card count. The rest is a short run of Player Rewards Program prints, in normal and holo foil versions, plus Cosmos holo foil and a pair of Holo Set Logo stamped slots. A stamped print is the same card carrying a mark that sets it apart from the standard one, and each gets its own slot in the binder.

Where the Mega Evolution master set's cost sits

As of October 24, 2026, 364 of the 369 Mega Evolution master set slots carry a price, and the value is very lopsided. The ten most valuable slots hold 67 percent of the total, while the lower-value half of the priced slots adds up to only 2 percent. By finish, holos carry 93 percent of the master set cost, normal prints 5 percent and reverse holos 2 percent. Despite the large reverse holo count, those 123 slots barely register in the total, so the master set cost is really a question of a small group of holo cards.

Hardest Mega Evolution master set slots

Five slots decide how hard the Mega Evolution master set is to finish: the Mega Hyper Rare Mega Lucario ex, the Special illustration rare Mega Gardevoir ex, the Special illustration rare Mega Lucario ex, the Mega Hyper Rare Mega Gardevoir ex and the Special illustration rare Mega Venusaur ex. All five are Holo slots and the main print of their card, not a hidden variant. Together they hold 51 percent of the master set's total value, so the remaining slots count for far less than their number suggests.
