Greninja-GX is a Stage 2 GX Water Pokémon with 230 HP. In the Pokédex this is Greninja (#658), generation 6 (Kalos). The card says it evolves from Frogadier. In this catalog that name is Frogadier (#657).
MPC Film illustrated this card. The same name is on 14 other cards in the catalog.
Greninja (#658) has 39 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2013 to 2026. The earliest other card is Greninja-EX XY20/211 in XY Black Star Promos (2013). That card is named Greninja-EX, while this one is Greninja-GX. That card lists 170 HP, and this one lists 230 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and MPC Film illustrated this one. 35 other cards of Greninja list a different HP.
Elusive Master is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), if this Pokémon is the last card in your hand, you may play it onto your Bench. If you do, draw 3 cards. The attack Mist Slash lists 130 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, or any other effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon. Dark Mist-GX is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Put 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and all cards attached to it into your opponent's hand. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The card text says: Pokémon-GX rule: When your Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
I keep a set binder for SM Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the SM Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Greninja can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Kalos starters and Froakie, Frogadier, and Greninja. I still need this card.
