Greninja 14/39 · Kalos Starter Set

Greninja is Pokédex #658, generation 6 (Kalos). Greninja is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 140 HP. The card says it evolves from Frogadier. In this catalog that name is Frogadier (#657).

Greninja sits at 14/39 in Kalos Starter Set, position 14 of 39. Before it is 13 Frogadier, and after it is 15 Clauncher. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on November 8, 2013. The printed size is 39, and the checklist is the same length.

The attack Mat Block lists 40 damage. The cost is Water. Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon. Aqua Edge is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It creates throwing stars out of compressed water. When it spins them and throws them at high speed, these stars can split metal in two."

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. That card lists 170 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. 37 other cards of Greninja list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Kalos Starter Set set binder is where a full Kalos Starter Set set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Greninja can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). I still need this card.
