Sky Legends Japanese Booster Box (SM10B): What Is Inside, Chase Cards and Which Box to Buy

Updated November 10, 2026

The Sky Legends Japanese booster box (set code SM10B, written SM10b on the official page) is a sealed Japanese-edition box of 30 packs with 5 cards each, 150 cards in total. It features Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX, and the official product page states one SR (Super Rare) or higher card per box.

What is the Sky Legends Japanese booster box?

It is the Japanese Original Edition box of the Sun & Moon Reinforced Expansion Pack “Sky Legend”, published by The Pokémon Company and released in Japan on April 26, 2019. Our listing calls it SM10B-Sky Legends, and you can see the regular box here: SM10B-Sky Legends Japanese Pokemon Booster Box.

Our product page describes this set as out of print and features the Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX Tag Team, under the tagline “Soar the skies with legendary birds.” The set name also appears in the card’s GX attack, Sky Legend GX.

The set code appears as SM10B on our listing and as SM10b on the official page. Both point to this box, whose official name is the Sun & Moon Reinforced Expansion Pack “Sky Legend”.

The product is sold as a sealed, randomized item. Our page states plainly that the cards in each box are randomly packed at the factory and that no individual card pull is promised. Everything in this guide is written with that rule in mind: the box has a fixed structure, but the specific cards inside are chance.

What is inside a Sky Legends Japanese booster box?

A Sky Legends Japanese booster box contains 30 booster packs, each with 5 randomly inserted cards, for 150 cards per box. The official product page and the release announcement both give the 5-card pack, and the official page gives the 30-pack box.

The one-SR-or-higher line is the only box-level statement in the official text. Our product page lists the rarity tiers found in the set as Commons (C), Uncommons (U), Rares (R), Double Rares (RR), Art Rares (AR), Super Art Rares (SAR) and Ultra Rares (UR), across 54 card types. Neither page gives a pack-by-pack breakdown, so treat the spread of rarities in any single box as random.

What does that mean in practice? Thirty packs of five cards is a large number of cards to open, and the SR-or-higher card is the floor stated by the official page. If you are buying purely to open, the box gives you the full 30-pack experience of a Japanese set. If you are buying to keep the box sealed, the structure above is what you are holding.

The original price was 150 yen plus tax per pack, which is the pack price on the official page. That is the Japanese launch price from 2019 and not the price of our listing today; the current price is shown on the product page.

Which chase cards does the Sky Legends box feature?

The main chase card is Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX, which our product page lists in SR, SA and HR (Gold) versions. The key cards named on our page are:

• SR Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX SA
• SR Tornadus
• SR Rowlet & Alolan Exeggutor GX
• RR Dragonite GX
• HR Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX Gold

The official page describes the RR version of Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX as a Basic Pokémon with 300 HP. Its attack Trinity Burn deals 210 damage. Its GX attack, Sky Legend GX, returns the card to the deck and deals 110 damage to each of the opponent’s 3 Pokémon.

The official page also names Rowlet & Alolan Exeggutor GX, Keldeo GX and Naganadel GX among its featured cards. A box does not promise any particular card. The SR or higher card can be any card of that tier, so the Gold HR version of the Tag Team card should be seen as a possible outcome and never as an expected one.

If chasing a specific card matters more than the sealed box, a single card is a different purchase from a box, and a booster box is the wrong tool for a targeted pull. The box makes sense when you want the set experience or a sealed example of the set.

Which named cards and artwork does the official page highlight?

The official release-day announcement highlights three Trainer’s Rare cards of Lusamine, Gladion and Lillie, illustrated by Mana Ibe of Game Freak (official announcement). The official product page also shows Musashi and Kojiro, with an R version and an SR version, whose effect makes each player discard 2 cards from hand.

Lusamine was also the preview card shown in the pre-release announcement (official preview). The official page adds that a deck recipe for Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX was created by a deck-building group credited there, which is useful if you want to see how the main card was meant to be played.

The official site also carries a full card list for the set. This guide is about the box, so use the official card list when you need every card; we do not reproduce it here because a copy would only drift out of date. For the wider story of how SR and full-art style cards developed, see our dated timeline from SR to FUR.

Did the Sky Legends box come with a purchase campaign gift?

Yes, at release in Japan. The Sky Legend BOX Purchase Campaign gave one Victini card to buyers of 1 box (30 packs) or more, starting April 26, 2019 and running until the gift ran out, per the official campaign notice.

The rules were specific. Anyone buying loose packs had to buy 30 or more packs at once. The gift was limited in quantity, and not every store took part. Victini’s ability, Victory Sign, lets you attach one basic Energy of each of two different types.

This was a 2019 store promotion run by The Pokémon Company in Japan. Our product page does not list the Victini gift as part of the box we ship, so do not buy the box expecting it.

Should I choose the regular box or the Sky Legends damaged box?

Choose the regular box if you want a clean outer box for display or storage, and the damaged box only if the cosmetic condition of the outer box does not matter to you. Both are sealed Japanese-edition SM10B boxes with the same contents structure.

The damaged-box page explains the reason for the listing. Our warehouse is in Tokyo, we buy large volumes of Japanese trading cards every day, and some of the boxes we take in arrive with dents, scratches or other damage. Staff at the warehouse inspect every item against defined condition standards. Boxes that cannot be sold as mint-condition products are separated from regular stock and, as the page says, are offered at a lower price than regular products.

Three points decide the choice. First, the photos are samples: the first image on the damaged-box page shows the regular product so you can identify the set, and the condition photos that follow show other damaged boxes. The type and extent of damage vary by item, and the box you receive may differ from the photos. Second, the item is sold as-is, we do not respond to inquiries about it, and returns and refunds are not accepted. Third, the cards inside are described as unaffected by the outer damage.

My recommendation is simple. If the box is for a display shelf, a sealed collection, or a gift, take the regular box. If you plan to open the packs and the outer box will go in the bin, the damaged box is the sensible option, provided you are comfortable with the no-returns condition.

What should I check before ordering a Sky Legends box?

Check four things: which box you want, the address, the payment method and the delivery window. Each one is set by our pages, and each can change what you pay or when the box arrives.

How is a Sky Legends Japanese booster box shipped from Tokyo?

We ship from our warehouse in Tokyo by FedEx, and most orders are processed within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment clears, per our shipping policy. That handling time is an estimate only, and business days exclude weekends and Japanese national holidays.

Shipping cost is calculated automatically at checkout from your delivery address. The transit times above are FedEx estimates and not fixed delivery dates. Our product page adds that every shipment includes tracking and insurance. There is no minimum order amount or quantity, so a single box is a valid order.

Delivery estimates shown on the site, at checkout or in carrier tools do not include our handling time, pre-order release timing, supplier allocation delays, quality inspection holds, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather or destination-country delivery conditions. Add those up when you plan around a date.

FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes. Provide a physical shipping address at checkout, and check it carefully, because the customer is responsible for a complete and accurate address.

What happens if my address changes or dispatch is delayed?

While an order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself from My Account > Orders > the order. Once the shipment is scheduled, the self-service change closes, and only a minor correction that does not affect any shipping condition may be considered through our Contact Form.

The rules around a change are specific, per the shipping policy:

• The destination country cannot be changed, and the carrier, shipping method and FedEx service level stay as selected at checkout.
• If shipping to the new address costs more, you pay the difference before dispatch and the order is held until it is settled.
• If it costs less, the shipping charge is not recalculated and no refund is made.
• A change takes effect only once it is shown on the order in My Account.
• A correction after scheduling is possible only if the shipment has not been handed to FedEx and we confirm that all shipping conditions remain unchanged; otherwise the request is declined.

On dispatch delays, the policy says stock levels for sealed Japanese trading card products fluctuate frequently and dispatch may sometimes take longer than the standard handling time. Examples include supplier allocation changes, inventory arriving later than expected, or a unit reserved for your order failing quality inspection. If dispatch is delayed, we contact you by email as soon as practical with the revised estimate. For significant delays before handoff to FedEx, we may offer the option to wait or to cancel with a full refund.

Once the order is handed to FedEx, timing is controlled by the carrier and destination-country authorities. Customs inspections, import procedures, remote-area handling, peak-season congestion and weather may delay delivery. The policy states that such transit delays are outside our control and do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch. You can follow your order status in your customer account, and after dispatch you can see the tracking number and the carrier’s latest estimate there or in the shipping confirmation email.

How do I pay for the Sky Legends box?

You can pay by Wise bank transfer, PayPal, or credit and debit card through PayPal, all in Japanese yen (JPY). The payment methods page says Wise is the only method without the 5% payment processing fee.

For Wise, the deadline depends on your choice at checkout. Without a screenshot, the order is cancelled automatically if payment has not arrived within 12 hours (3 hours if the order contains a pre-order item). With a screenshot, you upload it within 5 days of placing the order, the price is held for a total of 10 days, and payment must arrive before the hold ends. The screenshot option requires an account and is not available at guest checkout. Enter the payment reference issued with your order, SST-{order number}, in the Wise reference field exactly as issued.

If you pay by SWIFT, a receiving fee of JPY 611 is deducted before the funds reach us, so add JPY 611 to your order total. Correspondent banks may also deduct their own fees, so the policy asks you to choose the OUR charge option (sender pays all charges). If the amount we receive is short, processing pauses until the shortfall is paid.

For cards, the form opens in PayPal’s own secure window, and we never see or store your card number. A PayPal account is usually not required, though PayPal may ask you to sign in. Your issuer may apply 3-D Secure authentication such as a one-time code.

PayPal Pay Later splits an eligible order into interest-free instalments, with terms that depend on your country. The page lists United States (PayPal Pay in 4, one payment every 2 weeks), United Kingdom (PayPal Pay in 3, monthly), France (PayPal Paiement en 4X, monthly), Italy (PayPal Paga in 3 rate, monthly), Spain (PayPal Paga en 3 plazos, monthly), Australia (PayPal Pay in 4, fortnightly) and Canada (PayPal Pay in 4, every 2 weeks). The agreement is between you and PayPal, and availability is decided by PayPal. Any difference between what we charge and what your statement shows comes from exchange rates and conversion fees set by your provider.

For a sealed box, compare the totals at checkout before you pick a method, because the 5% fee on PayPal and card payments is added on top of the Wise total.

Is the Sky Legends box right for my collection?

It suits collectors of 2019 Sun & Moon-era Japanese products, and anyone who wants a sealed box of an out-of-print set featuring the Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX Tag Team. It is a poor fit if you need one specific card, because a booster box is random.

Pick it if you want a sealed display or collection piece from this era, if you like opening a full 30-pack Japanese box, or if you follow the history of SR and GX cards. Pick a different product if your goal is a particular single card. For the regular box, the SM10B listing is the page to use.
