**An Ascended Heroes master set is 613 cards — every card plus its 38 reverse holos and Poké Ball / Master Ball patterns.**

## What an Ascended Heroes master set includes

One of everything: all 295 numbered cards — the 217 base plus 78 secret rares — then every reverse holo, 38 of them. That sweeps in the 55 Illustration and Special Illustration Rares, the full-art cards that carry most of the value. The ones you have to land:

- [Mega Charizard Y ex (#294)](/card/me2pt5-294) — Mega Hyper Rare
- [Mega Dragonite ex (#295)](/card/me2pt5-295) — Mega Hyper Rare
- [Mega Froslass ex (#265)](/card/me2pt5-265) — Mega Attack Rare
- [Mega Eelektross ex (#266)](/card/me2pt5-266) — Mega Attack Rare
- [Mega Diancie ex (#267)](/card/me2pt5-267) — Mega Attack Rare
- [Mega Hawlucha ex (#268)](/card/me2pt5-268) — Mega Attack Rare

## The extras unique to Ascended Heroes

Ascended Heroes also carries 140 Poké Ball and 140 Energy pattern cards. They count toward a true master set, which is why Ascended Heroes' total runs so far past its 217-card base.

## Star Pokémon in the Ascended Heroes master set

A master set means chasing every print of the set's headline Pokémon, not just one each:

- **Mega Dragonite** — Mega Dragonite ex (#152), Mega Dragonite ex (#271), Mega Dragonite ex (#290), Mega Dragonite ex (#295)
- **Mega Charizard Y** — Mega Charizard Y ex (#22), Mega Charizard Y ex (#294)

- **Mega Scrafty** — Mega Scrafty ex (#135), Mega Scrafty ex (#270), Mega Scrafty ex (#285)

## The Ascended Heroes master-set total

All in, a complete Ascended Heroes master set is **613 cards** versus 217 for the base — about 2.8× the work, or roughly 69 pages in a 9-pocket binder. Sleeve and storage budget should target the larger number if you're going all the way on Ascended Heroes.
