Greninja ex is one of the more straightforward JP↔EN pairings in 30th CELEBRATION: unlike the AR/SAR block, both prints sit inside each region’s official main-set numbering, at 015/103 in Japanese and 021/128 in English.
This guide covers the card’s stats and numbering in both languages, when each version released, and where the Japanese print stands on our own site.
Greninja ex is Japanese 015/103 and English 021/128 — Bill’s Archive states the two are “the Japanese printing of English #021/128.” Both are main-set cards (not part of the AR/SAR/FUR block), and both released September 16, 2026. This exact print is not listed on our site as a single; our M6a 30th CELEBRATION Booster Box is where it’s pulled from.

Greninja ex: The Two Numbers
Greninja ex is 015/103 in 30th CELEBRATION’s Japanese main-set numbering and 021/128 in the English checklist. Bill’s Archive states the pairing in its own words: Japanese 015/103 “is the Japanese printing of English #021/128.”
Unlike the AR block cards covered elsewhere in this series, Greninja ex 015/103 is credited in the official card database with illustrator 5ban Graphics — no compiled-image workaround is needed here, since this is an officially listed main-set print.
Card Details: A 300 HP Stage 2
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Card number | 015/103 |
| JP name | ゲッコウガex |
| Type | Water |
| HP | 300 |
| Stage | Stage 2 (evolves from Frogadier) |

| Retreat | 1 |
Per PokeBeach’s September 9, 2026 translation, Greninja ex has two attacks: [W] Stealthy Slash, which does 30 damage to one of the opponent’s Pokémon for every damage counter already on that Pokémon (not applying Weakness/Resistance for Benched Pokémon), and [W][W] Aqua Edge, a flat 160-damage attack for two Water energy. As a Pokémon ex, a Greninja ex knockout gives the opponent two Prize cards instead of one.
Main Set, Not the AR/SAR Block
It’s worth being precise about where this pairing sits. The nine explicit AR/SAR-to-English pairings that Bill’s Archive lists in one summary sentence — covering cards like Lapras AR, Drifloon AR and Hisuian Zorua AR — are a separate group from Greninja ex. Both 015/103 and 021/128 are ordinary main-set numbers: 015 falls inside the Japanese database’s official 001–103 range, and 021 falls inside the English set’s 128-card main numbering. Neither language uses an alternate-art rarity for this particular print. The set separately has a Greninja ex Special Art Rare at 125/103 (shown on the official 30th site, not in the card database), which this comparison does not cover.
That makes Greninja ex one of the simpler pairings in the set to state with confidence — there’s no compiled-image workaround needed, and no rarity-naming ambiguity between “AR,” “IR” and “Secret Rare” to untangle, because this card isn’t in that tier in either language. Bill’s Archive states several other main-set JP↔EN pairs in the same directly-worded terms: Umbreon 077/103, illustrated by Iori Suzuki, “is the Japanese printing of English #091/128”; Slowpoke 010/103, illustrated by Uninori, “is the Japanese printing of English #016/128”; and the two main-set Pikachu ex prints, 047/103 (day) and 048/103 (night), are “#053 and #054 in English.” None of those four numbers sit in the AR/SAR/FUR block either — they are ordinary main-set pairings, the same category Greninja ex belongs to. For the pairings that do involve the AR/SAR tier, see our English-to-Japanese card number map and the English vs Japanese card differences hub.
Greninja Among the Set’s Water Types (010–016)
Greninja ex sits inside a run of Water-type main-set cards that opens with Slowpoke (010/103) and runs through Lapras (011/103), Articuno (012/103), Kyogre (013/103) and Palkia (014/103) before reaching Greninja ex at 015/103, then closing with Wishiwashi (016/103) at the top of the Water-type stretch.
Weakness across the 010–016 run isn’t uniform: Greninja ex, Slowpoke, Kyogre, Palkia and Wishiwashi are all printed Lightning Weakness (×2), while Lapras and Articuno carry Metal Weakness (×2) instead. Slowpoke opens the run at 010/103, illustrated by Uninori; Wishiwashi closes it at 016/103, illustrated by Narano — both ordinary main-set illustrator credits, published on the official database the same way Greninja ex’s own credit is.
