# Amaura (Japanese) #023 — SM6: Forbidden Light

## Summary

Amaura is a Fossil Pokémon with a cult following, a gentle sail-necked dinosaur from Kalos that fans adopted for its pale-blue, glacial charm. Its Japanese Forbidden Light uncommon, released in March 2018, arrived two months before the English set, and it sits in a mid-ladder slot that makes it a pleasant pull rather than a chase. The art sets the Pokémon against a bright, snowy sky of white and ice blue. The modelled guide sits at $4.04, down 4% on asks over 30 days with no copies traded; no PSA population is on file.
