**A Paradox Rift master set is 428 cards — every card plus its 162 reverse holos.**

## What a Paradox Rift master set includes

One of everything: all 266 numbered cards — the 182 base plus 84 secret rares — then every reverse holo, 162 of them. That sweeps in the 49 Illustration and Special Illustration Rares, the full-art cards that carry most of the value. The ones you have to land:

- [Groudon (#199)](/card/sv4-199) — Illustration Rare (~$115.77)
- [Altaria ex (#253)](/card/sv4-253) — Special Illustration Rare (~$60.67)
- [Plusle (#193)](/card/sv4-193) — Illustration Rare (~$52.02)
- [Minun (#194)](/card/sv4-194) — Illustration Rare (~$50.66)
- [Morpeko (#206)](/card/sv4-206) — Illustration Rare (~$43.76)
- [Roaring Moon ex (#251)](/card/sv4-251) — Special Illustration Rare (~$43.37)

## The extras unique to Paradox Rift

Paradox Rift has no special pattern variants, so the master set is the 266-card checklist plus 162 reverse holos — no extra pattern foils to chase beyond the 84 secret rares.

## Star Pokémon in the Paradox Rift master set

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

- **Groudon** — Groudon (#199)
- **Altaria** — Altaria ex (#140), Altaria ex (#232), Altaria ex (#253)
- **Plusle** — Plusle (#193)
- **Minun** — Minun (#194)
- **Morpeko** — Morpeko (#206)

## The Paradox Rift master-set total

All in, a complete Paradox Rift master set is **428 cards** versus 182 for the base — about 2.4× the work, or roughly 48 pages in a 9-pocket binder. Sleeve and storage budget should target the larger number if you're going all the way on Paradox Rift.
