Mega Greninja ex — Special Illustration Rare (SIR)
Set: Chaos Rising (ME04) | Card #: 116/086 (English) / 114/083 (Japanese) | Rarity: ★★★ Special Illustration Rare | Artist: Susumu Maeya
Artwork & Design
Illustrated by the acclaimed Susumu Maeya, this card is widely regarded as one of the most stunning and valuable collector cards in recent Pokémon TCG history. Rather than a traditional solo illustration, the card tells a visual life-story across three consecutive panels — transitioning from Froakie to Frogadier, and finally exploding into its powerful Mega Greninja form.
The card features highly textured full-art foiling that catches light beautifully across the different frames when raw and ungraded. It is famously known for its aesthetic synergy with the standard Illustration Rares of Froakie and Frogadier, which collectors often display together to create a continuous evolution mural.
