**Darkness Ablaze has 155 cards with a reverse holo version.**

## Reverse holos in Darkness Ablaze

A reverse holo foils the card body instead of the artwork, giving the same card two finishes. Darkness Ablaze has 155 reverse holo cards, mostly from its 53 Commons, 50 Uncommons and 34 non-holo Rares — 137 cards in those everyday tiers. Even staples for Butterfree, Salamence, Scizor and Eternatus usually get one.

## Star Pokémon to grab reverse copies of in Darkness Ablaze

## Why Darkness Ablaze's reverse holos matter

None of these 155 show on the base checklist of 189, so they're extra cards to track when finishing Darkness Ablaze. There are no pattern variants in Darkness Ablaze, so reverse holos are the main extra layer. Counted in, a full Darkness Ablaze master set is 356 cards — about 40 9-pocket pages versus 21 for the base set.

By contrast the top pulls — Charizard VMAX, Butterfree VMAX and Salamence VMAX — come as full-art rares, not reverse holos, so they sit outside this 155-card pool. The reverse run is the cheap everyday cards: lots of slots, low cost.

## Collecting the Darkness Ablaze reverse holos

At 155 cards, the reverse-holo set is roughly 82% the size of Darkness Ablaze's 189-card base — a whole second pass through the everyday slots. They sleeve into about 18 extra 9-pocket pages, so factor that in before committing to a full Darkness Ablaze master set.
