# Salamence GX (Japanese) #083 — SM6b: Champion Road

## Summary

Salamence has been the dragon that fans of the Hoenn games point to for decades, a pseudo-legendary that took a humble Bagon through years of rock-headed hoping to earn its wings, and that history is a big part of why its Hyper Rare is a draw. Released in Japan in May 2018, this Japanese Salamence GX from Champion Road landed months before Dragon Majesty carried it to English shelves. The rainbow foil washes the whole dragon in colour, and it sits in the set's chase tier.
