**A Perfect Order master set is 203 cards — every card plus its 79 reverse holos.**

## What a Perfect Order master set includes

One of everything: all 124 numbered cards — the 88 base plus 36 secret rares — then every reverse holo, 79 of them. That sweeps in the 17 Illustration and Special Illustration Rares, the full-art cards that carry most of the value. The ones you have to land:

- [Mega Zygarde ex (#124)](/card/me3-124) — Mega Hyper Rare
- [Meowth ex (#121)](/card/me3-121) — Special Illustration Rare
- [Mega Zygarde ex (#120)](/card/me3-120) — Special Illustration Rare
- [Mega Clefable ex (#119)](/card/me3-119) — Special Illustration Rare
- [Mega Starmie ex (#118)](/card/me3-118) — Special Illustration Rare
- [Rosa's Encouragement (#123)](/card/me3-123) — Special Illustration Rare

## The extras unique to Perfect Order

Perfect Order has no special pattern variants, so the master set is the 124-card checklist plus 79 reverse holos — no extra pattern foils to chase beyond the 36 secret rares.

## Star Pokémon in the Perfect Order master set

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

- **Mega Zygarde** — Mega Zygarde ex (#47), Mega Zygarde ex (#104), Mega Zygarde ex (#120), Mega Zygarde ex (#124)
- **Meowth** — Meowth ex (#62), Meowth ex (#107), Meowth ex (#121)
- **Mega Clefable** — Mega Clefable ex (#31), Mega Clefable ex (#103), Mega Clefable ex (#119)
- **Mega Starmie** — Mega Starmie ex (#21), Mega Starmie ex (#102), Mega Starmie ex (#118)
- **Dedenne** — Dedenne (#93)

## The Perfect Order master-set total

All in, a complete Perfect Order master set is **203 cards** versus 88 for the base — about 2.3× the work, or roughly 23 pages in a 9-pocket binder. Sleeve and storage budget should target the larger number if you're going all the way on Perfect Order.
