Market outlook
Stable Outlook 7/10
Recent market references show active trading with strong but not sharply accelerating pricing. Modern chase cards often stabilize after early-release volatility once initial hype cools, while fan-favorite Pokémon help maintain demand.
Next months. Likely to trade in a relatively narrow range unless a major grading pop or renewed hype event pushes demand higher.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, the card is likely to remain a desirable modern chase card with gradual appreciation if high-grade supply stays limited, though overall growth may be moderate rather than explosive.
History
Greninja is a Water-type Pokémon from the main Pokémon franchise, introduced in Generation VI as the final evolution of Froakie. It became one of the most popular modern Pokémon due to its ninja-inspired design, fast/agile battle role, and major visibility in the anime and games, including its prominence in the Kalos era and its later Mega Evolution-adjacent fan interest through strong competitive and media presence.
First released in the English-language Twilight Masquerade expansion on May 24, 2024, as Greninja ex #214/167, a Special Illustration Rare. The set is a Scarlet & Violet era expansion; the card numbering and set release are confirmed by set listings and price/market pages.
- This card is a Special Illustration Rare / Secret Rare style chase card, and its set number 214/167 places it above the main set list in the secret rare slot.
- Market listings show it trading at a substantial premium compared with the regular Greninja ex #106 from the same set, reflecting collector demand for the alternate-art version.
- The prompt lists the language as Indonesian, but the sourced set/card references are for the English Twilight Masquerade release; an Indonesian-language version would typically be part of a localized print run if it exists, but the provided sources do not confirm an Indonesian printing for this exact card.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for edge whitening, corner wear, surface scratches on the holo/foil layer, print lines, centering, and any pressure marks from packaging. Special Illustration Rare cards are especially sensitive to visible surface defects and centering issues, which strongly affect grade.
Storage. Use a penny sleeve plus rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder, keep away from humidity and direct light, and avoid repeated handling of the holo surface. For long-term storage, use archival sleeves and store vertically in a cool, dry place.
Authenticity. Verify correct set symbol, card number 214/167, font consistency, texture/foil pattern, and print quality. Counterfeits often show washed-out colors, incorrect holo texture, rough cutting, and off fonts. Comparing the card to verified product images and checking weight/feel can help, but professional grading or authentication is best for high-value copies.
