Cards and rarities

Holon Phantoms has 111 cards. Every card shows its number over the printed total along the bottom, as in "4/110". The cards print a set symbol, not a set code; the code here is the short one the catalog and TurnZero HQ file the set under.

Rare Holo EX3Pokémon-ex: two Prize cards when Knocked Out.
Rare Holo Star3Pokémon Star (★): one per deck.
Rare Secret1Numbered above the printed total.

The printed total is 110. The three Pokémon Stars are 102 to 104, inside it, and Mew, 111/110, is the one secret rare. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts a set against its printed total and keeps the secret rares apart, so finishing the main set and chasing the cards above it read as two separate goals.

Trainers worth knowing

A Holon Supporter and the δ Energy:

The chase card: Mewtwo ★

Rarity Rare Holo Star
Card number 103/110
Market price, October 18, 2026 $9,200.00
Illustrator Masakazu Fukuda

Holon Phantoms' chase card is Mewtwo ★, 103/110, illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, listed at $9,200.00 as last read on October 18, 2026.

Pikachu ★ was $6,997.84 on October 22, 2026. Together the two make up most of what a complete set costs (see below), so the set's value turns on two cards that seldom change hands ungraded.

Mewtwo ★ is printed once in the set.

Only the exact version is worth its price. The number at the bottom of the card and the rarity symbol beside it tell you which one you pulled. Reading the number and rarity symbol →

Chase cards and prices

Three Gold Stars, then Rayquaza δ, Mew ex and the secret Mew, priced as holofoil copies. The price for Mewtwo ★ (October 18) is the last the catalog read before October 22, 2026.

CardRarityMarket price, October 22, 2026
Mewtwo ★ Rare Holo Star$9,200.00 on Oct 18
Pikachu ★ Rare Holo Star$6,997.84
Gyarados ★ δ Rare Holo Star$1,300.35
Rayquaza δ Rare Holo$631.22
Mew ex Rare Holo EX$525.31
Mew Rare Secret$335.54

These are each card's headline TCGplayer market price on October 22, 2026, except where a row gives an earlier day because the catalog had no newer price. Prices can move a long way, most of all in a set's first months, so treat them as a snapshot. Each card's page shows today's price for every variant and its 90-day chart.

What a complete set costs

One copy of every card in Holon Phantoms, bought as singles, cost $20,873.67 on October 22, 2026. That is the third most expensive of the sixteen sets in the EX series.

Complete set $20,873.67
Main set, 1 to 110 $20,822.30
1 secret rare $51.37
Top three cards $17,498.19 (84%)

The three most valuable cards, Mewtwo ★, Pikachu ★ and Gyarados ★ δ, come to $17,498.19, or 84% of the total. Without them the set costs $3,375.48. Of the 111 cards, 45 were under $2.00, together $39.42; the other 66 add up to $20,834.25.

One card's price is older than October 22, 2026, because the catalog had no newer one: Mewtwo ★ (103), $9,200.00 on October 18. It is counted at that price.

Each card is counted at its cheapest priced variant, usually a Normal copy rather than a Reverse Holofoil, or a stamped promo copy where the catalog prices one lower, at its TCGplayer market price. This is what it costs to buy the set as singles. It is not what opening packs returns, and not what a complete set would sell for, which after fees and the many cards worth cents would be noticeably less.

Playing it

Holon Phantoms is not legal in Standard or Expanded as a set: Expanded starts with the Black & White series in 2011. The catalog marks seven of its 111 cards as legal anyway, seven of them in Standard too.

They are the six basic Energy, which are always legal; and Rare Candy, legal in both formats.

That card shares its name and text with a later, legal printing, which is what makes an older copy playable. Every other card in the set is legal in neither format.
