# Avalugg (Japanese) #026 — SM6: Forbidden Light

## Summary

Japanese sets tend to land weeks ahead of the English release, and Avalugg's Japanese SM6 uncommon is a clean case: it came out in March 2018, two months before Forbidden Light reached English shelves in May. The artwork sets the hulking ice Pokémon in a pale blue-green cave, glassy walls glowing behind it. As a mid-tier uncommon, it is no chase pull, which suits a Water-type most players remember as a slow tank. The modelled guide sits at $1.00, flat over 30 days on 1 copy traded, with 91 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file.
