# Frogadier (Japanese) #019 — SM6: Forbidden Light

## Summary

Japanese collectors had this Frogadier in March 2018, two months ahead of the English Forbidden Light release in May. It is a bulk common, so the appeal is the art: the frog crouches mid-pounce on a mossy rock face, ringed by spraying water in pale blue. As the middle stage of the Kalos starter line, it draws players who simply like Greninja's evolution path. The modelled guide sits at $1.49; no PSA population is on file.
