Only the non-scanable cards...holos and reverse holos...have the Pokédex info printed on the face of the card. The other cards do not have this printed, since it can be accessed by the card reader.

Hope this helps..

Not all reverse holos have height/weight etc printed on them, only reverse holo versions of holos do(and holos themselves) have that data printed on them.

I'd assume it has something to do with the reflective holo surface interfering with the reader's ability to scan the cards...or perhaps that the holo surface makes it hard to print the dot code with the degree of precision necessary for the reader to scan.
