Forbidden Light reached English-language Pokémon TCG shelves on May 4, 2018, as an expansion in the Sun & Moon era and series, catalogued under the set code FLI. It carries 131 official cards, with 15 secret cards pushing the full run to 146 printings. The set leans on GX cards, with Dialga GX, Greninja GX, Naganadel GX, Palkia GX and Ultra Necrozma GX each appearing in three versions, and its Pokémon span Fighting, Psychic, Water and Grass types. Lucario GX, Greninja GX and Dialga GX head its card list by value.
The pull ladder in Forbidden Light climbs from commons, uncommons and rares to 21 Ultra Rares and 15 Secret Rares, which number past the printed 131 and make up its 36 chase-tier cards. The most valuable cards are all secret rares: Lucario GX leads, followed by Greninja GX, Dialga GX, Xerneas GX and Zygarde GX, and 5ban Graphics illustrated every one of them. The top five cards hold 33 percent of the set's total card value, so the value is spread more evenly than in many sets, with the Ultra Rare Greninja GX and the Rare Arceus ◇ also ranking in the top eight.

A complete Forbidden Light run means 146 printings, and all 146 are priced. Because the top five cards account for 33 percent of total card value, the cost of finishing the set is shaped by the secret rares at the top rather than by one single card, while the commons and uncommons fill out the rest of the run. The sealed line lists 19 products, including a booster box, an Elite Trainer Box, blisters, booster packs, premium collections and decks.
