# Dragalge (Japanese) #039 — SM6: Forbidden Light

## Summary

A mid-slot uncommon rather than a chase pull, Dragalge in the Japanese SM6 set sits where most players would expect, as a useful body for Poison decks rather than a binder showpiece. The art puts the drifting, kelp-draped dragon in sunlit reef water, all purple haze against blue. It reached Japanese shelves in March 2018, two months ahead of Forbidden Light in English, so early copies are the natural pick-up. A $0.55 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
