Greninja has had more identities on cardboard than almost any Pokemon in the game — Ash’s anime partner, a Tag Team GX, and now a Mega Evolution chasing the top of a 2026 Japanese set, with the Greninja full art cards in its MUR and SAR slots. Six prints span three different eras, two card games’ worth of mechanics, and price points from ordinary singles to six-figure yen grades.
We ship Japanese Pokemon cards out of Tokyo every week.
Some of these prints are decades apart in origin but end up compared side by side anyway, because collectors searching “greninja ex,” “mega greninja,” or “ash greninja” are usually trying to sort out the same thing: which card number matches which price bracket.
MEGA Greninja ex MUR (M4 120/083) is the top Greninja print.
- Greninja MUR, SAR, SR and UR prints, with set marks, numbers, rarity codes and store status.
- The M4 Ninja Spinner booster box page shows its current options. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
- SNKRDUNK asking prices for the Greninja prints date from August 6, 2026.
- More Japanese singles are on the Japanese Pokemon card list.
Prices below are SNKRDUNK asking prices measured August 6, 2026, plus our own store status as of October 22, 2026.
Greninja Full Art Cards: Every Japanese MUR / SAR / SR / UR Print
Collectors use “full art” for prints whose artwork fills the whole card face. Japanese sets do not print those words: the official card database prints only a rarity code, and the full-art treatments are the SR (full-art ex and Supporter cards), SAR (Special Art Rare), AR (Art Rare), CHR / CSR (Character Rare) and the gold UR and rainbow HR printings. This page lists every Greninja print of those rarities that our Japanese database checks cover.

Greninja Card Price Ladder
SNKRDUNK asking prices as of August 6, 2026, with our PSA10 status:
| Card | Set | Raw ask | PSA10 ask band | Our PSA10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEGA Greninja ex 120/083 MUR | Ninja Spinner (M4), 2026 | ¥48,800–¥110,000 | ¥186,900–¥1,000,000 | sold out at the time of this update |
| MEGA Greninja ex 114/083 SAR | Ninja Spinner (M4), 2026 | ¥25,000–¥32,000 | ¥46,500–¥68,000 | sold out at the time of this update |

| Greninja & Zoroark GX 025/055 RR | Night Unison (SM9a), 2019 | — | — | sold out at the time of this update |
Two more notable Greninja cards are the Ash-Greninja EX promos from 2016 and Greninja ex SAR from SV5a “Crimson Haze” (2024).
There’s also a third M4 print — a non-alt-art SR at 098/083 — confirmed on the official set checklist but without a current tracked ask in our data.
The fastest way to sort a stack of Greninja cards is by set logo and card number rather than by artwork alone, since several of these prints share a name and a general “ninja frog” theme without being related printings. A gold-etched border points to the M4 MUR; a full-bleed illustration without gold points to the SAR; a Tag Team card with two Pokemon on it is the GX; and anything stamped XY-P or XY133 is one of the three Ash-Greninja promos rather than a mainline set card.
MEGA Greninja ex MUR (120/083): The Chase Card
MEGA Greninja ex is card 120/083 in M4 “Ninja Spinner” (ニンジャスピナー), the Japan-only MEGA-series expansion pack released March 13, 2026. The card carries an ability, “Decisive Shuriken,” that places 6 damage counters on an opposing Pokemon once per turn by discarding a Basic Water Energy, and an attack, “Ninja Spinner,” that deals 120 damage with the option to return an attached Water Energy for 80 more. For a full breakdown of the set it comes from, see our M4 Ninja Spinner complete guide.
On the market, raw cards were asking ¥48,800–¥110,000 as of August 6, 2026, and PSA10 graded cards spanned a wide ¥186,900–¥1,000,000, per SNKRDUNK listings measured the same day — that top figure is a single listing, not a cluster, so treat it as an outlier rather than the going rate.
For more on how MEGA-series chase cards get graded and priced across the board, our PSA10 Mega Pokemon cards guide covers the wider category.
MEGA Greninja ex SAR (114/083): The Alternate Art
The same set also carries a Special Art Rare version of MEGA Greninja ex at card number 114/083. It’s a different illustration from the MUR, and it prices well below it: raw cards were asking ¥25,000–¥32,000, and PSA10 graded cards ran ¥46,500–¥68,000 on SNKRDUNK as of the same August 6, 2026 measurement.
To chase the M4 prints from packs, the M4 Ninja Spinner booster box has a Sealed option currently listed at ¥10,246 (~$67); its No Shrink option is sold out at the time of this update.
If your copy is a gold-etched foil, it’s the MUR covered above. If it’s a full alternate-art illustration without the gold treatment, it’s this SAR — roughly a quarter of the MUR’s PSA10 price band. There’s also a plain, non-alt-art SR of this same card at M4 098/083, which currently has no tracked market price in our data.
Greninja & Zoroark GX: The Budget Tag Team
Greninja & Zoroark GX (ゲッコウガ&ゾロアークGX) is a Darkness-type Tag Team card, 250 HP, that first appeared as an RR at card number 025/055 in SM9a “Night Unison” (ナイトユニゾン), a Sun & Moon-era expansion pack released January 11, 2019. That same set also produced an SR (058/055) and an SA/SR alternate-art version (059/055) of the identical card.
The RR was reprinted later the same year at card number 072/173 in SM12a “TAG TEAM GX All Stars” (タッグオールスターズ), released October 4, 2019. That set also includes a UR version at 223/173.
Both RR printings are the entry point into owning a Greninja Tag Team card.
Ash-Greninja EX: The Anime Promo
Ash-Greninja EX (サトシゲッコウガEX) is the card tied to Ash’s Greninja from the Pokemon XY&Z anime, and it exists across three separate promo releases rather than one:
- English — XY Black Star Promos XY133. Released April 13, 2016 as part of the Ash-Greninja-EX Box, issued in both regular and jumbo card sizes.
- Japan — promo 218/XY-P. Distributed at the 43rd “Next Generation World Hobby Fair” winter 2016 tour (Makuhari Messe January 23–24, Nagoya Dome January 31, and Kyocera Dome Osaka February 7, 2016) to visitors of the Pokemon booth, and separately through a TV Tokyo New Year phone lottery (entry window December 24–30, 2015, winners notified by January 18, 2016, roughly 100 recipients).
- Japan — promo 290/XY-P. A different Japanese promo, included as an insert with Limited Edition B versions of the “Pocket Monsters XY&Z TV Anime Character Song Project Collection Vol.2 -Compilation-” CD, released October 26, 2016.
These three cards look similar at a glance but are distinct prints with different card numbers and distribution paths — two through Japanese promotional events tied to a physical tour or a phone-in lottery, one bundled with a music CD, and the English version sold direct in a themed box. We don’t currently have a verified market ask for any of the three, so we’re not attaching a price here — if you’re trying to identify which one you own, the card number in the corner (XY133, 218/XY-P, or 290/XY-P) is the fastest way to tell them apart.
For general context on how Japanese promo scarcity tends to play out in pricing versus English equivalents, our Japanese PSA10 Pokemon cards price guide is a useful companion read.
Greninja ex SAR (SV5a Crimson Haze): The Modern Mainline Print
The most recent mainline Greninja ex before the M4 Mega version is Greninja ex SAR, card 090/066 in SV5a “Crimson Haze” (クリムゾンヘイズ), a Scarlet & Violet-era Japan-only expansion pack released March 22, 2024. It’s listed as a Fighting-type card on retailer listings. We don’t currently have a tracked market price for this print, so we’re covering it here for identification purposes only — if you’re comparing it to the 2026 Mega versions, the giveaway is the set logo and card number in the bottom corner (SV5a 090/066), not the Water-type Ninja Spinner numbering.
Which Greninja Card Fits Your Budget
Greninja cards by spend, using SNKRDUNK PSA10 asks as of August 6, 2026 where available:
- Entry tier — Greninja & Zoroark GX, either the original SM9a 025/055 or the SM12a reprint 072/173. Same card, two printings, both PSA10.
- ¥46,500–¥68,000 — MEGA Greninja ex SAR, the alternate-art 2026 print, SNKRDUNK PSA10 asks as of August 6, 2026 clustered in this band.
- ¥186,900 and up — MEGA Greninja ex MUR, the set’s gold-etched top card, with SNKRDUNK PSA10 asks as of August 6, 2026 spread widely up to a single ¥1,000,000 listing.
- Sealed route — the M4 Ninja Spinner booster box.
MEGA Greninja ex MUR was released in March 2026, and SNKRDUNK PSA10 asks for it on August 6, 2026 were spread across a wide range — from under ¥190,000 to a single ¥1,000,000 listing. Widely spread early asks are normal for a fresh chase card; set a target price before you shop rather than anchoring to the highest number you see. Our Mega Evolution chase card guide covers this pattern across the wider MEGA series.
