Pokémon GO has 57 cards with a reverse holo version.
Reverse holos in Pokémon GO
A reverse holo foils the card body instead of the artwork, giving the same card two finishes. Pokémon GO has 57 reverse holo cards, mostly from its 22 Commons, 20 Uncommons and 0 non-holo Rares — 42 cards in those everyday tiers. Even staples for Mewtwo, Dragonite, Radiant Charizard and Melmetal usually get one.

Why Pokémon GO's reverse holos matter
None of these 57 show on the base checklist of 78, so they're extra cards to track when finishing Pokémon GO. There are no pattern variants in Pokémon GO, so reverse holos are the main extra layer. Counted in, a full Pokémon GO master set is 142 cards — about 16 9-pocket pages versus 9 for the base set.
By contrast the top pulls — Mewtwo V, Mewtwo VSTAR and Dragonite VSTAR — come as full-art rares, not reverse holos, so they sit outside this 57-card pool. The reverse run is the cheap everyday cards: lots of slots, low cost.
Collecting the Pokémon GO reverse holos
At 57 cards, the reverse-holo set is roughly 73% the size of Pokémon GO's 78-card base — a whole second pass through the everyday slots. They sleeve into about 7 extra 9-pocket pages, so factor that in before committing to a full Pokémon GO master set.
