Forbidden Light

Series: Sun & Moon Series

Release date: March 2, 2018

Cards: 94 (16 secret)

Set code: SM6

Every main expansion of the era before this one had been split in two, with a pair of boosters going on sale the same day and the West merging them back into a single set. Forbidden Light is the first one released whole, and its numbered run is longer than either half of any pair that came before it. Kalos is the setting and Ultra Necrozma the cover Pokémon, printed as a Dragon with the red mark that says Ultra Beast. Greninja, Zygarde, Yveltal and Xerneas take the other four GX cards, and all five return as Full Arts and then as rainbows. Volcanion, Diancie and Lysandre are its three Prism Star cards, one copy per deck and off to the Lost Zone once they leave play. A Pokémon Center bundle of two sealed boxes with sleeves, a deck case and a storage box went out the same day, a package the publisher then repeated for the main expansions that followed. Forbidden Light (SM6) was released on March 2, 2018 in the Sun & Moon series, with 94 cards plus 16 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Greninja GX #103 (Hyper Rare), at $62.88 (median of 5 sales over 90 days, October 1, 2026). A sealed booster box sells for $1,348.38 (median of 5 sales over 30 days, September 26, 2026).
