Greninja-EX

Description

The Greninja-EX XY20 stands as a prominent promotional release within the 2013 Pokémon XY Black Star Promos series. Produced by the Pokémon Company, this card introduces players to a formidable Water-type Basic Pokémon designed for high-impact gameplay. With 170 Hit Points, Greninja-EX offers substantial durability, allowing it to withstand significant damage during matches. The card’s design emphasizes its status as a powerful entity within the TCG landscape, appealing to collectors who appreciate the strategic depth of the XY era. The card features two distinct attacks that define its role in battle. "Water Sharpshooting" deals 30 damage to one of the opponent's Pokémon, with a unique rule that prevents Weakness and Resistance calculations for Benched Pokémon. This makes it particularly effective for targeting specific threats on the field. Alternatively, the "Aqua Blast" attack delivers 120 damage but requires the player to discard one attached Water Energy card, adding a strategic resource management element to its use. For collectors, the XY20 card number and its Holo finish make this release distinct within the broader XY Black Star Promos catalog. As a promotional item, it holds a special place in the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, representing a specific period of expansion and innovation. Collectors often seek out this card to complete their Black Star Promos collections or to add a high-power Basic Pokémon to their vintage sets. The combination of its gameplay utility and its status as a sought-after promo makes it a valuable addition to any serious collection.
