**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.

- [Victini (#172)](/card/rsv10pt5-172) — Rare (~$468.16)

- [Oshawott (#105)](/card/rsv10pt5-105) — Illustration Rare (~$93.39)

## 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.
