Greninja ex #198

Greninja ex 198/167 is a highly collectible Ultra Rare secret card from the 2024 Twilight Masquerade expansion, part of the Scarlet & Violet series. Its numbering beyond the set's standard count immediately identifies it as a secret rare, significantly contributing to its desirability due to its inherent scarcity and lower pull rate from booster packs. As an 'ex' Pokémon, it represents a powerful variant, and its Tera typing grants a unique defensive capability: preventing all damage done to it by attacks while it remains on the Bench.

The artwork by 5ban Graphics visually reinforces Greninja's 'Ninja Pokémon' identity, depicting it with the distinctive crystalline texture associated with Tera Pokémon. Its abilities further emphasize this theme; the Shinobi Blade attack allows for precise deck searching, echoing a ninja's strategic planning. Meanwhile, Mirage Barrage showcases Greninja's agility, enabling it to discard energy to deal 120 damage to two of the opponent's Pokémon. This reflects its Pokédex description, which notes its ability to create and launch water throwing stars that can split metal, underscoring its precise and impactful offensive capabilities.
