Greninja 40/122 · BREAKpoint

Greninja is Pokédex #658, generation 6 (Kalos). Greninja is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 130 HP. The card says it evolves from Frogadier. In this catalog that name is Frogadier (#657).

Greninja sits at 40/122 in BREAKpoint, position 40 of 126. Before it is 39 Frogadier, and after it is 41 Greninja BREAK. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on February 3, 2016. The printed size is 122. This checklist is longer, at 126 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Shadow Stitching lists 40 damage. The cost is Colorless. Until the end of your opponent's next turn, each Pokémon your opponent has in play, in his or her hand, and in his or her discard pile has no Abilities. (This includes cards that come into play on that turn.) Moonlight Slash is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Water. You may return a Water Energy from this Pokémon to your hand. If you do, this attack does 20 more damage. Weakness is Grass ×2. The flavor text reads "It appears and vanishes with a ninja's grace. It toys with its enemies using swift movements, while slicing them with throwing stars of sharpest water."

Greninja (#658) has 39 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 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 130 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Naoki Saito illustrated this one. 33 other cards of Greninja list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoki Saito. I count 270 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

BREAKpoint set binder is where a full BREAKpoint 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.
