Four Dragon-type GX Pokemon, three rarity tiers apiece, and a set number that trips people up every time it shows up in a listing. SM6a Dragon Storm is one of the smaller, more focused Sun & Moon-era Japanese expansions — and it’s also the set behind the English-language Dragon Majesty release, even though the two don’t line up card for card.
SM6a Dragon Storm (ドラゴンストーム) is a Japanese “enhanced expansion pack” released April 6, 2018, built around Reshiram GX, Dragonite GX, Kingdra GX, and White Kyurem GX — each printed at multiple rarity tiers — plus two Prism Star cards, Victini and Lance. This guide walks through the set’s structure, its GX chase cards by number and rarity, and how it relates to its English counterpart.
SM6a Dragon Storm’s four headline GX Pokemon — Reshiram, Dragonite, Kingdra, and White Kyurem — each carry a Double Rare, Secret Rare, and Hyper Rare print. We currently list a sealed SM6a Dragon Storm Japanese Booster Box (pembaruan: stok habis — minta restock via Quick Order) at ¥102,900 (~$631), shipped from Tokyo.
Pricing reflects our own in-Tokyo stock listing, re-checked August 13, 2026. USD figures are approximate conversions at ¥163/USD (July 2026 basis). Pull-rate language in this guide is described in relative, community-reported terms only — we haven’t found an official Pokemon-published odds figure for this specific set.
What Is SM6a Dragon Storm?
SM6a Dragon Storm’s official Japanese name is the enhanced expansion pack “ドラゴンストーム” (Dragon Storm), released in Japan on Friday, April 6, 2018. “Enhanced expansion pack” is the same product category used for other smaller, theme-focused Sun & Moon-era Japanese sets — distinct from a full-numbered main expansion, but still sold in standard 5-card booster packs.
The set’s official product page centers the release on four Dragon-type GX Pokemon: Reshiram GX, Dragonite GX (カイリューGX), Kingdra GX (キングドラGX), and White Kyurem GX (ホワイトキュレムGX). Bulbapedia’s description of the English Dragon Majesty release — which pools cards from multiple Japanese sets, not SM6a alone — characterizes that broader English product as spotlighting “draconic Pokemon: Reshiram-GX, Salamence-GX, Dragonite-GX, and over a dozen more, including Charizard.” Salamence-GX isn’t part of Dragon Storm’s own Japanese checklist; the four Dragon-type GX Pokemon confirmed in SM6a by card number are the ones this guide covers below.
Release Date & Set Structure
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Japanese name | ドラゴンストーム (Dragon Storm) |
| Japan release date | April 6, 2018 (Friday) |
| English equivalent | Dragon Majesty (September 7, 2018) |
| Cards per pack | 5 |
| Basic set (denominator, by JP shop checklist) | 53 |
| Total incl. secret rares (by JP shop checklist) | 66 |
| Rarity breakdown (by same checklist) | C×24 / U×16 / R×7 / PR×2 / RR×4 / SR×6 / HR×4 / UR×3 |
The basic set runs 53 cards (the denominator used in every card number in this guide, e.g. 008/053). Including the secret-rare slots numbered 054–066, the same Japanese shop checklist puts the full count at 66. limitlesstcg’s Japanese-language database lists 59 cards for SM6a — that’s the 53-card basic set plus the six Secret Rare (SR) prints (054–059), without the four Hyper Rare and three Ultra Rare secret prints (060–066) that push the shop checklist’s total to 66.
Pull Rates: What We Can (and Can’t) Confirm
We haven’t found a Pokemon-published, official pull-rate percentage for SM6a Dragon Storm, and we don’t publish unofficial box-odds figures we can’t trace back to a verifiable source. What the set’s own rarity breakdown does tell you structurally: out of 66 total cards (53 basic set plus 13 secret-rare slots), four sit at Double Rare (RR), six at Super Rare (SR), and four at Hyper Rare (HR) — and all four of the set’s headline GX Pokemon have a print in all three tiers: RR, SR, and HR. Any specific per-pack or per-box odds you see quoted elsewhere for this set should be treated as community-reported and unofficial unless you can trace it to a repeatable, verifiable sample.
The Four Dragon-Type GX Chases
All four of Dragon Storm’s headline GX Pokemon follow the same three-tier pattern: a standard Double Rare (RR) print in the base numbering, a Secret Rare full-art print (labeled SR by Japanese retail, though limitlesstcg’s database records the same cards as “Secret Rare” too), and a Hyper Rare print above that.
| Kartu | Number | Rarity (JP retail) |
|---|---|---|
| Reshiram GX | 008/053 | RR |
| Reshiram GX (Special Art) | 054/053 | SR |
| Reshiram GX | 060/053 | HR |
| Kingdra GX | 014/053 | RR |
| Kingdra GX (Special Art) | 055/053 | SR |
| Kingdra GX | 061/053 | HR |
| Dragonite GX | 028/053 | RR |
| Dragonite GX (Special Art) | 056/053 | SR |
| Dragonite GX | 062/053 | HR |
| White Kyurem GX | 035/053 | RR |
| White Kyurem GX (Special Art) | 057/053 | SR |
| White Kyurem GX | 063/053 | HR |
One naming wrinkle worth knowing before you shop listings: Japanese retail sources (like netoff’s buyback listings) label the 054/053, 055/053, 056/053, and 057/053 prints “SR,” while limitlesstcg’s database records the same cards under the English term “Secret Rare.” The 008/053 Reshiram GX print is similarly called “RR” by JP retail and “Double Rare” by limitlesstcg. These are two conventions describing the same cards, not a rarity disagreement — but it’s a common source of confusion when cross-referencing a listing against a database entry.
All four GX Pokemon share the same RR/SR/HR structure: Reshiram GX (008/053 RR), Kingdra GX (014/053 RR), Dragonite GX (028/053 RR), and White Kyurem GX (035/053 RR), each with a matching Secret Rare and Hyper Rare print higher in the numbering. If you’re chasing a specific number, cross-reference against the table above to confirm which rarity tier you’re looking at.
Kingdra GX & White Kyurem GX: The Quieter Half
Kingdra GX and White Kyurem GX round out Dragon Storm’s four-GX lineup, and they follow the exact same two-tier pattern as Dragonite GX: a Special Art Secret Rare print, then a Hyper Rare print in the higher numbering.
Kingdra GX sits at 055/053 for its Special Art SR and 061/053 for its HR. White Kyurem GX sits at 057/053 for its Special Art SR and 063/053 for its HR. Both are part of the set’s official headline lineup alongside Reshiram GX and Dragonite GX, per the set’s official product page. We don’t have an independently verified image for the White Kyurem GX prints or either HR-tier print, so we’re not showing those here — if you’re identifying a physical copy, match against the card number and rarity tier in the table above rather than artwork alone.
The Prism Star Pair: Victini and Lance
Beyond the four GX Pokemon, Dragon Storm carries two Prism Star cards — a separate rarity category from the GX tiers above:
- Victini ♢ — card number 004/053, Prism Star rarity.
- Lance ♢ (Japanese name: ワタル, Wataru) — card number 050/053, Prism Star rarity. The English-language equivalent print is confirmed as Dragon Majesty card #61, “Lance, Prism Star.”
Lance is a notable inclusion for the set’s Dragon theme specifically: in the games and anime, Lance (Wataru) is the Dragon-type specialist Elite Four member and Champion, so his Prism Star card lines up directly with the set’s four Dragon-type GX Pokemon rather than being an unrelated trainer insert.
Dragon Storm vs. Dragon Majesty: The English Connection
SM6a Dragon Storm is the Japanese set behind the English-language Dragon Majesty release — but the two don’t share a simple 1:1 checklist. Dragon Majesty released internationally on September 7, 2018, roughly five months after Japan’s April 6 release, and carries 78 cards total, compared to Dragon Storm’s 53-card Japanese basic set (66 including secret rares).
Distribution is where the two releases diverge most. The English Dragon Majesty product wasn’t sold as a standalone booster pack line the way most Sun & Moon-era English sets were — it was distributed through special bundle products packaged with pins, figures, and other collectible goods rather than standard shelf boosters. That distribution model is specific to the English release; our research didn’t turn up a confirmed answer on whether Japan’s SM6a followed the same bundled approach or sold as ordinary 5-card boosters through normal retail, so we’re not asserting either way here. The official Japanese product page does describe the standard 5-card pack configuration used across other enhanced expansion packs of the era.
Where SM6a Fits in the SM6 Family
Dragon Storm carries the “SM6a” designation, placing it alongside two other releases that share the same SM6 era number: the base SM6 Forbidden Light set and the enhanced expansion SM6b Champion Road. All three sit in the same numbered generation of the Sun & Moon era, though this guide only verifies release-date and checklist detail for SM6a itself — see each linked guide for that set’s own confirmed dates and chase cards.
