**Mega Evolution has 122 cards with a reverse holo version.**

## Reverse holos in Mega Evolution

A reverse holo foils the card body instead of the artwork, giving the same card two finishes. Mega Evolution has 122 reverse holo cards, mostly from its 67 Commons, 43 Uncommons and 12 non-holo Rares — 122 cards in those everyday tiers. Even staples for Mega Lucario, Mega Gardevoir, Mega Venusaur and Mega Latias usually get one.

## Why Mega Evolution's reverse holos matter

None of these 122 show on the base checklist of 132, so they're extra cards to track when finishing Mega Evolution. There are no pattern variants in Mega Evolution, so reverse holos are the main extra layer. Counted in, a full Mega Evolution master set is 310 cards — about 35 9-pocket pages versus 15 for the base set.

By contrast the top pulls — Mega Lucario ex, Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex — come as full-art rares, not reverse holos, so they sit outside this 122-card pool. The reverse run is the cheap everyday cards: lots of slots, low cost.

## Collecting the Mega Evolution reverse holos

At 122 cards, the reverse-holo set is roughly 92% the size of Mega Evolution's 132-card base — a whole second pass through the everyday slots. They sleeve into about 14 extra 9-pocket pages, so factor that in before committing to a full Mega Evolution master set.
