Silver Tempest has 142 cards with a reverse holo version.
Reverse holos in Silver Tempest
A reverse holo foils the card body instead of the artwork, giving the same card two finishes. Silver Tempest has 142 reverse holo cards, mostly from its 53 Commons, 56 Uncommons and 21 non-holo Rares — 130 cards in those everyday tiers. Even staples for Lugia, Unown, Regidrago and Alolan Vulpix usually get one.

Why Silver Tempest's reverse holos matter
None of these 142 show on the base checklist of 195, so they're extra cards to track when finishing Silver Tempest. There are no pattern variants in Silver Tempest, so reverse holos are the main extra layer. Counted in, a full Silver Tempest master set is 357 cards — about 40 9-pocket pages versus 22 for the base set.
By contrast the top pulls — Lugia V, Lugia VSTAR and Unown V — come as full-art rares, not reverse holos, so they sit outside this 142-card pool. The reverse run is the cheap everyday cards: lots of slots, low cost.
Collecting the Silver Tempest reverse holos
At 142 cards, the reverse-holo set is roughly 73% the size of Silver Tempest's 195-card base — a whole second pass through the everyday slots. They sleeve into about 16 extra 9-pocket pages, so factor that in before committing to a full Silver Tempest master set.
