Ultra Necrozma GX Card Guide: SM6 Forbidden Light Prints

The Card: Ultra Necrozma GX 099/094 Secret Rare

Ultra Necrozma GX is a Dragon-type card with 190 HP. The 099/094 print — the headline print of the two — is illustrated by PLANETA, while the 069/094 Double Rare print carries art by PLANETA Otani. Forbidden Light’s main numbering runs to 94 cards, so 069/094 sits inside that mainline run; 099/094 sits past it, in the set’s secret-slot numbering, which is what marks it as the Secret Rare tier. Forbidden Light’s full catalog, including the secret-slot prints, runs to 102 cataloged cards.

This is the print set collectors reach for first when they say “Ultra Necrozma GX” without a number attached — the Secret Rare treatment, sitting above the Double Rare in the set’s own rarity structure. We do not currently list a graded single of this print; a sealed SM6 Forbidden Light Japanese Booster Box is the direct route to pulling one.

The Set: Forbidden Light (SM6)

Forbidden Light — 拡張パック「フォビドゥンライト」in Japanese — is set code SM6, a Japanese expansion pack released on 2 March 2018. Its catalog, main numbering plus secret and special slots combined, runs to 102 cataloged cards. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon (SM) era, when GX cards were the top mechanic across Japanese Pokemon releases.

For the set’s full card-by-card breakdown, see our Forbidden Light SM6 card list, and for a pull-rate and best-cards discussion of the set more broadly, our SM6 Forbidden Light pull rates & best cards hub covers that ground.

The SM6 Forbidden Light Japanese Booster Box — where both the 069/094 and 099/094 prints originate — is currently listed at ¥68,250 (~$429).

Where This Secret Rare Sits Among Japanese Chase Rarities

Within Forbidden Light, the two confirmed Ultra Necrozma GX prints sit on two different rungs of the set’s rarity structure: the Double Rare at 069/094, and the Secret Rare at 099/094. The Secret Rare sits above the Double Rare — the harder-to-pull, higher secret-slot treatment, which is the standard pattern for SR-tier cards across this era of Japanese sets.

Ultra Necrozma GX’s chase-card status echoes other Necrozma-family cards from different Japanese sets and different card mechanics. Light Consuming Darkness (SM3N) — an earlier SM-era set — carries a plain Necrozma GX (not the Ultra form) at both a Secret Rare (#53) and a Double Rare (#26) tier, the same two-rung pattern seen here. A later set, Rapid Strike Master (S5R), carries a Necrozma V at Secret Rare (#75) — a different card mechanic from GX entirely, released under the newer V system rather than the Sun & Moon-era GX system.

None of the three cards above are Ultra Necrozma GX — they are separate Necrozma-family prints from separate sets, shown here only to illustrate how the same Double Rare / Secret Rare rarity ladder appears elsewhere in this Pokemon’s Japanese card history. For the wider family, see our Necrozma Pokemon Card Guide — that page is the broader Necrozma-forms hub, while this page is a deep dive on the verified Ultra Necrozma GX pair from SM6.
