Complete a Pokémon set, every finish included
A Pokémon card set is complete when you own every card in every finish it exists in: the normal one and, if there is one, its reverse holo. That is why a set has more pieces than cards: Prismatic Evolutions is 180 cards and 281 pieces, about €2,448 for all of them on 24 October 2026.

What is a master set?
Collectors call owning every card of a set in every version a master set. Many apps track it separately from a one-copy-per-card “set”; Prism only counts the real complete set, every card in every finish, so there are never two different numbers for the same thing.
How many pieces does a set have, and what does completing it cost?
Prism guide price (CardTrader, Cardmarket or TCGplayer, in euros) for one copy of each piece, on 24 October 2026. It changes daily: each set page shows today’s figure.
Why does a reverse count as another piece?
Because it is a different physical card: the same artwork with the shine on the background instead of the picture, sold separately at its own price. Special cards (ex, illustration rares, secret rares) usually exist in a single finish, which is why sets like Mega Evolution: 30th Anniversary have as many pieces as cards.
How does Prism track it?
- Add your cards with the scanner or search, with their finish.
- In Browse and Collection, every set shows how far you are (for example 20/199) and what the rest would cost.
- The set page lists what you are missing, finish by finish, cheapest first.
