M6a “30th CELEBRATION” released worldwide on September 16, 2026, and one of its quieter cards has been drawing attention from collectors who track the set’s Art Rare block: Lycanroc AR, numbered 113/103.
It isn’t a chase card in the way the FUR pair or the Pikachu ex secret rares are. But it sits inside a themed illustration block that the official Pokemon Card Game site has singled out, and it belongs to the AR run that collectors have now mapped out completely. This guide covers what’s compiled about the card itself, where it fits in that AR block, and what buyers can pick up now that M6a has released.
Lycanroc AR (113/103) is compiled as an Art Rare from the Japanese M6a “30th CELEBRATION” set, released 2026-09-16. It carries two attacks — Counter and Rock Smash — and sits inside the AR block, which runs 104–123 (20 cards; all 20 have now been seen, the last two — Kommo-o AR 119 and Ditto AR 121 — surfacing in release-day listings, September 16, 2026). The M6a Booster Box is a live pre-order (Sealed ¥25,000; the No Shrink option is sold out). Buyers who want anniversary sealed product in hand now can look at the currently listed S8a 25th Anniversary Collection booster box.
- M6a 30th CELEBRATION released worldwide on September 16, 2026; the main set (001–103) and the 30-card Classic Collection remain in the official database (published September 9, 2026).
- All 32 AR/SAR/FUR secret rares (104–135) have now been seen — the last two of the AR block, Kommo-o AR (119) and Ditto AR (121), surfaced in release-day listings (SNKRDUNK, September 16, 2026) — but the block is still not in the official card database.
- Kommo-o AR (119) and Ditto AR (121) each carry a ¥1,000 lowest ask on SNKRDUNK as of release day; Lycanroc AR itself has no dated release-day figure yet.
- On SNKRDUNK the lowest asking price for a sealed M6a box fell from ¥47,200 (September 1) to ¥28,200 (September 10) to ¥17,500 on release day. Our own box is still listed as a pre-order at Sealed ¥25,000 (~$162); the No Shrink option is sold out.
- Full card list: every card of the set with its official image, in number order — 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) card list (all 173 cards).
Figures added in the September 16, 2026 update convert at ¥154/USD; older figures keep the rate stated when they were written. Every price other than the official pack/box MSRP, our own store listings, and the dated SNKRDUNK release-day asks noted below is an unofficial pre-release market prediction.
What Is the Lycanroc AR (113/103)?
Lycanroc AR is one of the Art Rare cards compiled from M6a “30th CELEBRATION,” the Japanese set marking Pokemon TCG’s 30th anniversary. The set released worldwide simultaneously on September 16, 2026 (Wednesday), at ¥360 per pack (tax included), with six foil cards in every pack. A box contains 20 packs at ¥7,200. Every pack guarantees one of 30 Pikachu cards, each by a different illustrator, plus one basic Energy card designed by YOSHIROTTEN.
The card’s number, 113/103, places it past the set’s 103-card base checklist, in the numbering territory reserved for secret and Art Rare prints. It sits in the AR block (104–123), compiled by PokeBeach and Japanese aggregators from official promotional images and reveal coverage. That block is still not in the official card database as of September 16, 2026 — unlike the main 001–103 set and the Classic Collection, which the database published on September 9. The illustrator has not been credited on any source we’ve checked, so treat that detail as unconfirmed for now (AR illustrators are not published anywhere, official or unofficial).
There is a separate, regular-rarity Lycanroc in the main set: card 071/103, illustrated by matazo and listed in the official card database. 113/103 is the Art Rare treatment of that same Pokémon, not a reprint of it.
The Day/Night Illustration Block
M6a’s official product page groups a set of cards under the heading “Pokemon cards depicting a day” — illustrations built around different moments of daytime and nighttime. Lycanroc appears in that feature block on the official page, alongside both Pikachu ex Special Art Rares (Day and Night versions), Hisuian Zorua, Umbreon, Scraggy, and a feature tile pairing Lycanroc with Lapras.
Beyond confirming which cards belong to the theme, the official page does not state which specific cards are meant as “day” pieces versus “night” pieces — that pairing is only documented for the two Pikachu ex Special Art Rares (126/103 day, 127/103 night). Where Lycanroc sits within that day/night split specifically is not stated anywhere we’ve verified, so this guide doesn’t assign it one.
Two of Lycanroc’s block-mates are covered in their own guides if you want the full illustration set: our Lapras AR (106/103) guide and Hisuian Zorua AR (122/103) guide cover the rest of the AR cards pulled from this same feature.
Where 113/103 Sits in the AR Numbering Run
The AR block spans 104–123, twenty cards in total, with SAR (124–133), FUR (134–135), and the 30-card Classic Collection reprint block (136–165) following after it. All twenty AR cards have now been shown — the last two, 119 (Kommo-o) and 121 (Ditto), surfaced in release-day listings (SNKRDUNK, September 16, 2026). Card 113 — Lycanroc — sits roughly in the middle of that run:
| Number | Card | Rarity | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 104/103 | Alolan Exeggutor | AR | Shown |
| 105/103 | Moltres | AR | Shown |
| 106/103 | Lapras | AR | Shown |
| 107/103 | Articuno | AR | Shown |
| 108/103 | Zapdos | AR | Shown |
| 109/103 | Toxtricity | AR | Shown |
| 110/103 | Morpeko | AR | Shown |
| 111/103 | Drifloon | AR | Shown |
| 112/103 | Chandelure | AR | Shown |
| 113/103 | Lycanroc | AR | Shown |
| 114/103 | Nidorina | AR | Shown |
| 115/103 | Alolan Meowth | AR | Shown |
| 116/103 | Scraggy | AR | Shown |
| 117/103 | Galarian Meowth | AR | Shown |
| 118/103 | Gholdengo | AR | Shown |
| 119/103 | Kommo-o | AR | Shown |
| 120/103 | Meowth | AR | Shown |
| 121/103 | Ditto | AR | Shown |
| 122/103 | Hisuian Zorua | AR | Shown |
| 123/103 | Maushold | AR | Shown |
The set’s highest number is 165/103 (Magikarp, Classic Collection) — officially confirmed in the card database published September 9, 2026, which gives a firm sense of how much numbering territory sits above the standard 103-card base.
Card Text and Rarity
As transcribed from the Japanese card text, Lycanroc AR carries two attacks:
| Attack | Damage | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Counter | 10+ | Adds damage equal to the damage this Pokemon took from an attack during the opponent’s previous turn. |
| Rock Smash | 80 | — |
HP is not printed on any source we’ve been able to verify, so we’re not quoting a figure for it. The card’s illustrator credit is likewise unconfirmed — AR illustrators are not published anywhere, official or unofficial, even now that the main set and Classic Collection illustrators are in the official database. As with the rest of the AR/SAR/FUR block, official pull-rate information has not been published — the only guaranteed contents Pokemon has confirmed per pack are one of the 30 Pikachu cards and one basic Energy card.
Unofficial Price Predictions
M6a released September 16, 2026, but real transaction data specific to Lycanroc AR has not appeared in our tracked sources yet. The one figure in circulation remains an unofficial market prediction from a Japanese secondary-market aggregator, dated August 29, 2026:
| Card | Unofficial market prediction | Unofficial buyback prediction |
|---|---|---|
| Lycanroc AR (113/103) | ¥1,000∼ (~$6.49) | ¥700 (~$4.55) |
Treat that as a pre-release estimate only, not a market price. Every other AR in the block carries a similarly modest prediction — Lapras and Hisuian Zorua are both estimated around ¥1,500∼, Drifloon around ¥1,000∼ — which is consistent with this being a common-tier secret rarity rather than a chase card. For comparison, two of Lycanroc’s block-mates that had not surfaced as of the September 10 update — Kommo-o AR (119/103) and Ditto AR (121/103) — each carry a ¥1,000 lowest ask on SNKRDUNK as of release day, September 16, 2026; Lycanroc itself has no dated release-day figure in our tracked sources yet.
Anniversary Sealed Product Currently Listed
M6a has released, and our own booster box is available as a live pre-order (see “Where to Buy” below), but individual Lycanroc AR singles aren’t yet part of our catalog. For collectors who want anniversary-themed Japanese product in hand right away, a few earlier anniversary releases are currently listed:
There’s also the smaller 25th Anniversary Collection Special Set, currently listed at ¥33,600 (~$218), for a lower-cost entry into 25th Anniversary sealed product. None of these contain Lycanroc AR or any other M6a card — they’re from the earlier S8a 25th Anniversary Collection, not M6a “30th CELEBRATION.” For background on how the two anniversary eras compare, see our 25th Anniversary Golden Box guide.
