Mega Greninja ex arrived with Chaos Rising on 22 May 2026. Here is what it does once it is on the table, and what it is worth right now.

What to make of it

Every line below comes from a number. Either it is printed on the card, or we counted it on tournament lists. You will not find a score here — you will find what matters when you decide whether to run it.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT

  • 350 HP, and nothing in Chaos Rising goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.
  • Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.
  • It has an Ability, Mortal Shuriken. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
  • Mega Greninja ex runs it in 21 of the 21 lists we have read, seen across 20 different tournaments.
  • Mark J. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes two Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.
  • It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Frogadier to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
  • Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 1,301 tournament lists we have read, 109 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

What it costs

We have no price to show you for this card today. The link below takes you where it sells, and you will see the day's numbers there.

Who plays it

We read tournament decklists one by one. The match is made on the set code printed at the bottom of the card, the one the player copied onto the list — never on the name, because two cards sometimes share one.
