**A Temporal Forces master set is 358 cards — every card plus its 140 reverse holos.**

## What a Temporal Forces master set includes

One of everything: all 218 numbered cards — the 162 base plus 56 secret rares — then every reverse holo, 140 of them. That sweeps in the 32 Illustration and Special Illustration Rares, the full-art cards that carry most of the value. The ones you have to land:

- [Gastly (#177)](/card/sv5-177) — Illustration Rare (~$112.48)
- [Morty's Conviction (#211)](/card/sv5-211) — Special Illustration Rare (~$78.34)
- [Raging Bolt ex (#208)](/card/sv5-208) — Special Illustration Rare (~$71.71)
- [Gengar ex (#193)](/card/sv5-193) — Ultra Rare (~$71.32)
- [Walking Wake ex (#205)](/card/sv5-205) — Special Illustration Rare (~$63.62)
- [Sawsbuck (#166)](/card/sv5-166) — Illustration Rare (~$60.84)

## The extras unique to Temporal Forces

Temporal Forces has no special pattern variants, so the master set is the 218-card checklist plus 140 reverse holos — no extra pattern foils to chase beyond the 56 secret rares.

## Star Pokémon in the Temporal Forces master set

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

- **Gastly** — Gastly (#177)
- **Raging Bolt** — Raging Bolt ex (#123), Raging Bolt ex (#196), Raging Bolt ex (#208), Raging Bolt ex (#218)
- **Gengar** — Gengar ex (#104), Gengar ex (#193)
- **Walking Wake** — Walking Wake ex (#50), Walking Wake ex (#189), Walking Wake ex (#205), Walking Wake ex (#215)
- **Sawsbuck** — Sawsbuck (#166)

## The Temporal Forces master-set total

All in, a complete Temporal Forces master set is **358 cards** versus 162 for the base — about 2.2× the work, or roughly 40 pages in a 9-pocket binder. Sleeve and storage budget should target the larger number if you're going all the way on Temporal Forces.
