Yes — White Flare has 80 Poké Ball and 72 Master Ball pattern cards.
White Flare's pattern cards
White Flare is one of the few sets with Poké Ball and Master Ball mirror cards — reverse-style foils stamped with a repeating pattern instead of the usual holo sheen. Each is a separate variant on top of the normal print, so every one is its own card to chase.
How many pattern cards in White Flare?
Across every pattern there are 152 cards to track down: 80 Poké Ball and 72 Master Ball. They sit on top of the base print run, so each one is a distinct card for a master set.

Why the patterns inflate White Flare
Because these patterns count toward a complete set, they're the main reason a White Flare master set balloons to 405 cards versus 86 for the base. Plan binder space for the 152 pattern variants too if you're going for everything — that's roughly 17 extra 9-pocket pages on top of the base White Flare run.
