Pitch Black Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the Pitch Black master set

Four families make up the Pitch Black master set. Reverse Holo is the largest at 74 slots, followed by Normal at 67 and Holo at 57, with a single Holo Foil Cosmos slot rounding out the list. The reverse holo family sits on the lower tiers: commons, uncommons and rares each add a second slot beyond their regular print. A reverse holo is the same card printed with the foil pattern across the body rather than the art box, so for a master set it counts as its own slot in the binder. The Holo Foil Cosmos slot is the one special family here.

Where the Pitch Black master set's cost sits

As of October 24, 2026, the Pitch Black master set carries a price on 199 slots, and the value is heavily concentrated. The ten most valuable slots hold 78 percent of the total, while the lower-value half of the priced slots adds up to only 2 percent. By finish, holos account for 92 percent of the master set's value, with normal prints and reverse holos at 4 percent each. The master set cost is therefore decided almost entirely by the top end of the holo slots, and the large reverse holo and normal runs barely move the total.

Hardest Pitch Black master set slots

The difficulty in the Pitch Black master set is concentrated in a handful of holo slots. The top two are both Mega Darkrai ex, first as a special illustration rare and then as a Mega Hyper Rare. Morpeko ex, Mega Zeraora ex and Mega Chandelure ex follow, all special illustration rares. Every one of these is the card's main holo print rather than a variant, so the surprise here is how few slots matter. Together these five hold 66 percent of the master set's total value, which means most of the checklist is easy to finish and the last few slots decide the effort.

How the Pitch Black master set compares

At 199 slots, the Pitch Black master set sits at about 0.9 times the era median of 233 slots, a little lighter than a typical Mega Evolution era set. By master set value it ranks 5th among the 7 comparable sets of its era. The previous set, Chaos Rising, runs to 207 slots and its master set holds lower value, while the next set, 30th Celebration, is smaller at 161 slots yet its master set holds higher value. Slot count alone does not track the size of the job: Pitch Black is mid-sized in slots and mid-table in value.
