A single GX attack that only ever helps one type of Pokemon gave an entire Japanese booster box its name.
Full Metal Wall — 強化拡張パック「フルメタルウォール」 in Japanese, also seen translated as Full Metal Force — is set code SM9b, an enhancement set that released in Japan on February 1, 2019. It builds on Tag Bolt (SM9), the same parent set that produced Night Unison (SM9a), and it runs on a tightly focused theme: Metal-type reinforcement, carried by the Meltan-to-Melmetal evolution line, a second Squirtle-to-Blastoise GX run, and Metal-type Trainer support.
The card that gives the set its name is Lucario & Melmetal GX — its GX attack, itself called “Full Metal Wall,” reduces damage dealt to Metal-type Pokemon by 30 until the end of the game. This guide covers what’s cataloged in a Full Metal Wall box, which secret rares define the chase, what our site currently has listed for the box and its graded singles, and how the set’s signature card carried over into a later release. We ship Japanese sealed product and PSA-graded singles out of Tokyo, so every price below is our own current listing, not a third-party market figure.
The SM9B-Full Metal Wall Japanese Pokemon Booster Box is currently listed at ¥47,250 (~$297). Limitless TCG catalogues 62 cards for the set — 8 Secret Rares, 4 Double Rares, 7 Rares, 16 Uncommons, 23 Commons, plus 4 without a rarity label — and its Secret Rare tier is anchored by two Lucario & Melmetal GX prints and two Pheromosa & Buzzwole-GX prints. We don’t have a separate Damaged Box or No Shrink listing for this particular release at the moment; if a graded single is more your speed, the PSA 10 Lucario & Melmetal GX SR:SA 059/054 is currently listed at ¥68,440 (~$430).
Prices below are our current listed prices as of September 2026, converted at ¥159/USD.
What’s Inside a Full Metal Wall Booster Box
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Japanese name | 強化拡張パック「フルメタルウォール」 (Full Metal Wall) |
| Also translated as | Full Metal Force |
| Set code | SM9b |
| Pack type | Enhancement set, built on Tag Bolt (SM9) |
| Japan release date | February 1, 2019 |
| Total cards catalogued | 62 (Limitless TCG) |
We’re not stating an official pack count or cards-per-pack figure for this release — that detail isn’t part of what we’ve sourced and verified for Full Metal Wall today, so this guide focuses on what’s confirmed: the card pool, its rarity breakdown, and what’s currently listed.
Limitless TCG catalogues 62 entries for the set: 8 Secret Rares, 4 Double Rares, 7 Rares, 16 Uncommons, 23 Commons, and 4 cards without a rarity label. The denominator printed on the cards, and on our own box listing, is /054 — 54 main-numbered cards plus the 8-card Secret Rare tier that runs past that number, for 62 total.
The set’s theme is Metal-type reinforcement, worked through three angles: the Meltan-to-Melmetal evolution line gets its own support, the Squirtle-to-Blastoise line gets a second GX run, and Metal-type Trainer cards round out the support pool. The card that gives the set its name is Lucario & Melmetal GX — its GX attack, itself called “Full Metal Wall,” reduces damage dealt to Metal-type Pokemon by 30 until the end of the game.
Full Metal Wall sits inside the same SM9a/SM9b/SM10 family covered by our Unbroken Bonds Japanese card list bridge hub, which maps that era’s English-language sets back to their Japanese source releases.
Chase Cards in Full Metal Wall
Eight cards make up the Secret Rare tier, numbered 55 through 62 — past the set’s 54-card main numbering:
The PSA 10 Lucario & Melmetal GX SR:SA 059/054 is currently listed at ¥68,440 (~$430) — the set’s signature card in its top Secret Rare print. We also currently list a PSA 10 of the card’s base print, the PSA 10 Lucario & Melmetal GX RR 029/054, at ¥16,284 (~$102), for buyers who want the character without the secret-rare premium.
Neither the regular Lucario & Melmetal-GX SR (058/054) nor the Blastoise-GX SR (057/054) or Celesteela-GX SR (060/054) pictured above is currently listed as a graded single on our site — sourcing requests for any of them go through Quick Order, with no timeline to share on availability.
Four more cards round out the Secret Rare tier without a card-grid image here:
| Card | Number | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Pheromosa & Buzzwole-GX | 055/054 | SR |
| Pheromosa & Buzzwole-GX | 056/054 | SR:SA |
| Green’s Exploration / Green’s Search | 061/054 | SR |
| Molayne | 062/054 | SR |
The Supporter card at 061/054 shows up under two names depending on the source — our own catalog lists the product as “Green’s Exploration SR,” while the card-list translation calls the same entry “Green’s Search.” It’s one card with a localized naming variance, not two separate secrets. The PSA 10 Green’s Exploration SR 061/054 is currently listed at ¥76,771 (~$483). The PSA 10 Pheromosa & Buzzwole GX SR:SA 056/054 is currently listed at ¥115,640 (~$727) — the highest-priced single we currently list from this set.
The base RR print of that same character pairing, Pheromosa & Buzzwole-GX, sits at 001/054 in the main-set numbering rather than in the secret tier — a different print from either of the two 055/056 secrets above.
One thing worth flagging directly: we haven’t found a confirmed Hyper Rare (HR) print in this set. A rainbow-foil version of Lucario & Melmetal GX has been mentioned elsewhere, but it isn’t part of the Limitless-catalogued 62-card list we’re working from, and our own sourcing couldn’t independently confirm it exists as a separate print — treat that specific card as unverified rather than something to chase. For the full 62-card breakdown by number, see our Full Metal Wall (SM9b) complete card list, and for a closer look at how these secrets rank against each other, our Full Metal Wall pull rates and best cards guide is the dedicated resource — this page stays focused on the box-buying decision, not the card-by-card pull breakdown.
Regular Box, Damaged Box and No Shrink: What’s Listed
Full Metal Wall is currently listed on our site as a single standard sealed booster box — the SM9B-Full Metal Wall Japanese Pokemon Booster Box at ¥47,250 (~$297). We don’t have a separate Damaged Box or No Shrink listing for this particular release at the moment.
If you’re specifically after either condition category for Full Metal Wall, a request through Quick Order is the way to flag it — we can’t promise a timeline for whether one gets added, and this guide isn’t the place to speculate on that. What we can confirm is the one listing that exists today and its current price.
