Forbidden Light

Series: Sun & Moon

Release date: May 4, 2018

Cards: 131 (15 secret)

Set code: SM6

Kalos returns in the middle of the Alola run, which is where the Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde and Greninja of this expansion come from. Ultra Necrozma-GX heads it as a Dragon type Ultra Beast whose GX attack works only late, once both players together hold six Prize cards or fewer, and it then puts six damage counters on every Pokémon the opponent has. Beast Ring runs on the same clock, playable only while the opponent holds exactly three or four Prizes, and it attaches two basic Energy to an Ultra Beast in one go. Malamar is the quiet card of the set, its Psychic Recharge Ability moving a Psychic Energy out of the discard pile and onto a benched Pokémon once a turn. Prism Star cards carry on from Ultra Prism, Volcanion and Arceus among them. Japan released the expansion in March 2018, and the English set adds a second Japanese product to it, the Ultra Force subset. Forbidden Light (SM6) was released on May 4, 2018 in the Sun & Moon series, with 131 cards plus 15 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Greninja GX #133 (Secret Rare), at $52.13 (median of 10 sales over 30 days, October 1, 2026). A sealed booster box sells for $1,236.57 (median of 3 sales over 90 days, September 25, 2026).
