Strategy & play
How Greninja ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Torrential Slash) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Hits for 120 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Water type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥150 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Frogadier first).
How to beat Greninja ex
- Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥150 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Greninja ex is real?

For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
