Ash-Greninja EX XY133 Pokémon XY Promos Raw

The Ash-Greninja-EX card (XY133), specifically the Holo Promo version from the XY: Black Star Promos of the Pokémon TCG, is a premium raw collectible released on April 13, 2016. Featuring artwork by 5ban Graphics, this Water-type Basic Pokémon-EX is distinguished by its shimmering holofoil finish and the iconic "Bond Phenomenon" depiction of Greninja assimilated with Ash's appearance.

Mechanically, this card possesses 170 HP and features two attacks: Dancing Shuriken ([1 Water]), which allows the player to flip 3 coins and deal 20 damage times the number of heads to 1 of the opponent's Pokémon (ignoring Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon), providing high-variance damage output; and Ninja Blade ([1 Water + 1 Water + 1 Colorless], 130 damage), which deals reliable damage but states: "This Pokémon can't use Ninja Blade during your next turn," creating a tempo constraint that requires strategic timing. As a Pokémon-EX, when Knocked Out, the opponent takes 2 Prize cards. The card has a Grass Weakness of ×2, no resistance, and a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy, with the Pokédex number #0658A

The Holo Promo version of Ash-Greninja-EX XY133 is particularly prized by collectors completing the XY: Black Star Promos set, as it represents the chase promo variant distributed exclusively through the 2016 Ash-Greninja-EX Box, which contained 2 booster packs, 1 Energy card, 1 Ash-Greninja-EX card, and 1 Jumbo Ash-Greninja-EX card. Unlike the standard Greninja-EX cards found in booster packs, the XY133 Promo features unique "Bond Phenomenon" artwork that was not available in any other format, making it a cornerstone for both competitive play and high-end collector portfolios. Its ability to provide high-variance damage through coin flips while offering potent 130-damage output ensures consistent demand for raw copies in tournament-ready condition, particularly as the XY era continues to gain retro collectibility value and the Ash-Greninja phenomenon remains one of the most iconic moments in Pokémon franchise history.
