**Shining Fates has 46 cards with a reverse holo version.**

## Reverse holos in Shining Fates

A reverse holo foils the card body instead of the artwork, giving the same card two finishes. Shining Fates has 46 reverse holo cards, mostly from its 18 Commons, 13 Uncommons and 8 non-holo Rares — 39 cards in those everyday tiers. Even staples for Alcremie, Kyogre, Reshiram and Yveltal usually get one.

## Star Pokémon to grab reverse copies of in Shining Fates

- **Alcremie** — Alcremie V (#64), Alcremie VMAX (#73)
- **Kyogre** — Kyogre (#21)
- **Reshiram** — Reshiram (#17)
- **Yveltal** — Yveltal (#46)

## Why Shining Fates' reverse holos matter

None of these 46 show on the base checklist of 72, so they're extra cards to track when finishing Shining Fates. There are no pattern variants in Shining Fates, so reverse holos are the main extra layer. Counted in, a full Shining Fates master set is 119 cards — about 14 9-pocket pages versus 8 for the base set.

By contrast the top pulls — Skyla, Poké Kid and Alcremie V — come as full-art rares, not reverse holos, so they sit outside this 46-card pool. The reverse run is the cheap everyday cards: lots of slots, low cost.

## Collecting the Shining Fates reverse holos

At 46 cards, the reverse-holo set is roughly 64% the size of Shining Fates' 72-card base — a whole second pass through the everyday slots. They sleeve into about 6 extra 9-pocket pages, so factor that in before committing to a full Shining Fates master set.
