The master set counts 49 Reverse Holofoil and 24 Holofoil. No card comes in more than one of them, so the master set is the same size as the full set.

Released in 2017, Sun & Moon extends the first Alola card pool with additional island Pokémon, Pokémon-GX, and supporting Trainers shortly after the paired launch sets. The smaller checklist develops early regional themes without attempting another full generational reset. Its smaller enhanced-expansion format gives the card list a tighter theme than the era’s main releases.

New GX cards and Alolan artwork provide the main collector appeal, while useful Trainers helped establish the first Sun & Moon decks. The artwork frequently links Pokémon to Alola’s characters, locations, and larger stories. For set collectors, the supporting checklist matters almost as much as the headline pulls because it carries the theme from card to card. The expansion therefore works well as a self-contained binder project as well as a chapter in the wider history of the game. Its cards were later folded into the larger English Guardians Rising expansion alongside Islands Await You and Alolan Moonlight.
