Ninja Spinner is the Japanese set that introduces Mega Greninja ex to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. First revealed through a trademark filing on June 4, 2025, the set draws heavily from ninja imagery, speed, and precision, continuing the Mega Evolution era with one of the most popular Pokémon ever created as its centrepiece.

As a Japanese release, Ninja Spinner features the tighter, more focused card pool typical of Japanese sets, with 83 total cards compared to the larger English equivalent. Japanese collectors prize these sets for their high-quality card stock, vibrant artwork, and earlier access to new mechanics and Pokémon. Greninja's massive global popularity is expected to make this one of the most in-demand Japanese sets of 2026.
