Shiny Greninja Card: GX SSR 216/150 PSA 10 Guide

“Shiny Greninja card” is a search name, not an official card name. The official name is Greninja GX, and we offer it graded PSA 10 as a back order.

Updated November 12, 2026

Key facts: what is the card at a glance?

The card is Greninja GX No. 216/150 in rarity SSR, and

Three of those rows do most of the work when you compare listings: the card number 216/150, the rarity SSR and the set code SM8b. A listing that matches all three, and says Greninja GX, is the card this guide covers. A listing that differs on any of them is a different card.

What is the Shiny Greninja card in the Japanese Pokémon TCG?

It is Greninja GX SSR 216/150, a Japanese-edition card from the High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny”, and that is the card our listing is built around.

The phrase “shiny Greninja card” is a search name. The card itself is named Greninja GX, and the set it belongs to has “Shiny” in its English name, High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny”. We use the search name once as a label and the official name everywhere else, so there is no confusion about which card is meant. Our product page gives the card number (216/150), the set name, the SSR rarity and the PSA 10 grade. It does not describe the artwork, so this guide does not either; the photo of the graded card on the product page is the reference for how it looks.

Shiny cards are not limited to this one set. For context on the English side, Pokémon.com lists the Pokémon TCG: Shining Fates Elite Trainer Box, released February 19, 2021, and says the Shining Fates set includes more than 100 Shiny Pokémon on etched cards. That is an English-language set and a different product from SM8b. The same page lists what is in that box: 10 Shining Fates booster packs, a foil promo card featuring Eevee VMAX, 65 card sleeves featuring Gigantamax Eevee and 45 Pokémon TCG Energy cards, among other items. None of that applies to the Japanese Greninja GX card, but it shows why the set code matters when you shop across languages.

We also have a separate guide to another Japanese shiny card, Shiny Suicune 221/190 from Shiny Star V (S4a). If you are comparing shiny cards across sets, keep the set code in view: SM8b is the code for this Greninja, and S4a is the code for that Suicune.

Which Greninja GX is the shiny one: SSR 216/150 in SM8b?

The Greninja GX that carries the shiny label is the SSR card numbered 216/150 in SM8b, the card that belongs to the High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny”.

Three details identify it without doubt: the number 216/150, the rarity SSR and the set code SM8b. When you buy a graded copy, check these three details on the PSA label and on the product page before anything else. If the number or the set code is missing from a listing, you cannot be sure which Greninja GX it is.

Greninja GX also has other Japanese prints. Our guide Greninja GX Pokémon Cards: Every Japanese Print and PSA 10 Price covers the Japanese prints of that card, so this article stays on the 216/150 card.

A short rule keeps the check clean. Compare the full string “Greninja GX 216/150 SM8b” against any listing. The name separates Greninja GX from other Pokémon, the number separates it from other Greninja GX cards, and the set code ties it to the Japanese High Class Pack.

What is the High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny” set?

High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny” is the Japanese set with the code SM8b, and it is the set that Greninja GX 216/150 belongs to.

Our product page lists the set as High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny”, and the card number’s denominator, 150, matches the other cards from this set that we have written guides for. Those guides cover Evelyn SR 159/150, Lucario GX SSR 224/150, Sylveon GX SSR 238/150 and Rayquaza GX SSR 240/150. Together with Greninja GX 216/150, that is five cards from one set where the denominator is 150.

We also keep a comparison between the English Hidden Fates products and this Japanese set: Hidden Fates ETB and Booster Box vs Japanese GX Ultra Shiny. Read it if you want to see how the English products and the Japanese set line up. For the Greninja card itself, the set name, SM8b and the Japanese edition are what matter.

One practical point on naming: the English names in this guide are the names we use on our product page. When you compare listings elsewhere, check the number 216/150 and the code SM8b against our product page.

Another way to place the set is by its sibling cards. Because our guides for Lucario GX, Sylveon GX and Rayquaza GX all carry the SM8b code and a /150 denominator, you can move between them without changing set. That is useful if you are building a small group of cards from one Japanese set rather than collecting one Pokémon across many sets. The comparison in the next section lays the five cards out together.

How does the Shiny Greninja card compare with other cards in GX Ultra Shiny?

Greninja GX 216/150 shares the SSR rarity and the GX label with Lucario GX, Sylveon GX and Rayquaza GX from the same set, and the card number and Pokémon differ.

The table below lists the cards from this set that we cover. It compares five cards from our own guides, and the numbers and rarities come from the titles of those guides.

Among the four SSR cards in this table, Greninja GX has the smallest card number: 216 against 224, 238 and 240. That is a comparison within these four cards, not a statement about the whole set. Evelyn has the rarity SR rather than SSR, so it sits in a different rarity from the four GX cards.

If you are choosing between these cards, pick by the Pokémon you want. We do not rank them by value, and we do not forecast how any of them will be priced. Of these five, only Greninja GX has the product page this article covers, and the price on it is the price we state.

A practical reading of the table: if you collect by Pokémon, the table gives you four separate choices at the SSR rarity, each tied to its own number. If you collect by set, all five rows belong to SM8b. If you collect by rarity, the four SSR rows are the ones to compare, and Evelyn belongs to the SR group. In every case, the card number is the item that separates the rows.

What does a PSA 10 grade mean for the Shiny Greninja card?

PSA 10 means Gem Mint, and our product page describes it as the highest grade that Professional Sports Authenticator certifies.

The product description for our Greninja GX copy states that the card has been graded PSA 10 (Gem Mint) and that PSA 10 is awarded only to cards in flawless, gem mint condition. The same page adds a note about the holder: the PSA case may have minor scratches or marks on its surface. That note is about the plastic case, not the card inside it, and it is worth reading before you order if you care about the case as much as the card.

Our listing is a back order. We describe it as offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥50,882, sourced to order. In plain terms, this is not a card sitting on a shelf waiting for your order; the matching graded card is sourced once you order. The product page also notes that stock levels can change, so in some cases an order may take a little longer to ship.

For a graded card, the grade is the second thing to confirm after the card identity. The identity is Greninja GX, 216/150, SSR, SM8b. The grade is PSA 10 (Gem Mint). The product name on our listing carries all of these in one line, so you can compare it against the label of any other copy you see.

How is it different from Greninja ex and Mega Greninja ex cards?

Greninja GX 216/150 is a different card from Greninja ex and Mega Greninja ex: each has its own name, number and set code.

The names are easy to mix up, so here are the cards side by side. The details come from the titles of our own guides for each card.

The simplest way to tell them apart is the name on the card. “GX” belongs to the Greninja GX card in SM8b. “ex” belongs to the SV5a card, and “Mega Greninja ex” belongs to the cards in our M4 and 208/165 guides. If you want the GX card, check for the 216/150 number. If a listing says SAR, Mega Attack Rare or M4, it is one of the other cards.

We also cover the Mega Greninja line in boxed form; our comparison Mega Greninja ex Premium Collection vs Japanese Ninja Spinner covers that. It does not involve the GX card, so you can skip it if the SM8b card is the one you want.

How do I check that a listing is the right Greninja card?

Match four items: the name Greninja GX, the number 216/150, the rarity SSR and the set code SM8b.

Use this short sequence whenever you compare our listing with another one.

1. Read the name. The card is Greninja GX. A listing that says Greninja ex or Mega Greninja ex names a different card.
2. Read the number. The number is 216/150. The Greninja ex in our guide is 090/066, and the Mega Greninja ex in our guide is 208/165, so a different number is a different card.
3. Read the rarity. The rarity is SSR. SAR and Mega Attack Rare appear in the other Greninja guides.
4. Read the set. The set is High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny”, code SM8b, Japanese edition.
5. Read the grade. Our listing is PSA 10 (Gem Mint), and the product page notes that the case may have minor scratches or marks on its surface.

The table below turns that sequence into a side-by-side view of the three Greninja families we cover, so you can see which detail separates them.

If all four items match and the grade is the one you want, the listing is the card in this guide. If any item is missing from a listing, treat the card as unconfirmed and use the missing item as the reason to look elsewhere. That rule keeps you from buying a card with the right Pokémon name and the wrong number.

Where can I buy the Shiny Greninja card?
