Hello, this is PokeNinJapan!
Ninja Spinner (set code M4) was released on March 13, and it has been one of the most anticipated Japanese Pokemon sets in recent memory. The spotlight is squarely on the incredibly popular Greninja line, with Mega Greninja — also praised for its cool appearance in Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A — featured prominently on the packaging. Mega Floette and Mega Dragalge also make notable appearances throughout the set.
What Is Ninja Spinner?
Ninja Spinner is a Japanese-exclusive Scarlet & Violet-era expansion built around Greninja's ninja theme, its Mega Evolution, and a handful of Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A tie-in cards such as Mega Floette and Mega Dragalge. If you're searching for an official English name, there isn't a confirmed English-language equivalent release yet — this is one of the main reasons overseas collectors turn to imported Japanese singles and sealed product.
You can always cross-check card text and official rarity symbols on the official Pokemon card Japan site.
Ninja Spinner Rarity & Hit Rate Guide
Like most recent Japanese Pokemon sets, Ninja Spinner stacks several rarity tiers on top of one another for its biggest chase cards. In this set, Mega Greninja ex alone appears in three separate rarities:
- MUR (Ultra Rare gold) — the rarest and most valuable print, an all-gold design.
- SAR (Special Art Rare) — a full-art alternate illustration.
- SR (Super Rare) — a striking holo full-art below SAR/MUR in rarity.
As with any Japanese booster box, the higher the rarity tier (SAR, MUR), the lower the pull rate per box, while SR and AR-level cards show up more consistently. We don't publish unofficial hit-rate percentages, so for the manufacturer's printed rarity and pack information, please refer to the official Pokemon card Japan site linked above.
Top 10 Hit Cards in Ninja Spinner
Now, let's take a closer look at the Top 10 hit cards collectors are chasing from this set.
{120/083}Mega Greninja ex
This set also features an MUR, and as many of you probably expected, the standout card is the Mega Greninja MUR! With its all-gold design and Mega Greninja striking an upside-down pose, this card looks absolutely amazing. It's extremely rare and highly valuable, making it the clear #1 chase card of Ninja Spinner.
{114/083}Mega Greninja ex
A SAR that perfectly combines Mega Greninja's coolness and style! True to its name, Greninja is a frog-like, bipedal Pokémon with a ninja-inspired look. Popular both in Japan and overseas, this Pokémon has captured fans' hearts worldwide.
{117/083}Cinccino ex
A SAR overflowing with Cinccino's adorableness, showing it bouncing on a fluffy cushion! Cinccino evolves from Minccino, and this illustration is so cute you'll want to hug it. The soft, delicate illustration really brings out Cinccino's charm.
{098/083}Mega Greninja ex
The SAR is stunning, but this SR Greninja is also incredibly cool! SR cards have consistently ranked high in popularity, and with the immense popularity of Mega Greninja, this one is firmly at the top of the rankings. This card features Mega Greninja clinging upside down to a giant, six-pointed Water Shuriken suspended mid-air. In its sharp gaze, you can feel a raw power that is quite distinct from the artistic beauty of the SAR.
{116/083}Mega Dragalge ex
Mega Dragalge, a Poison/Dragon-type Pokémon making its debut in Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A, is featured on this card. The illustration depicts Mega Dragalge drifting through the sea, its striking beauty and vibrant colors exuding a poisonous aura.
{115/083}Mega Floette ex
Mega Floette is the Mega Evolution of Floette (Eternal Flower). The Eternal Flower has absorbed all of the Mega Evolution energy, developing a will separate from Mega Floette itself and becoming capable of attacking on its own. The illustration shows Mega Floette from a low-angle perspective, its dazzling radiance and striking beauty immediately catching the eye.
{119/083}Roxie's Performance
Roxie is a Gym Leader appearing in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. She is a musician who plays the bass guitar and is a popular character known for her rock style. This vivid illustration perfectly captures her energetic personality and is sure to captivate every fan.
{118/083}AZ's Tranquility
AZ is the owner of Hotel Z in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and his deep bond with Floette is a truly unforgettable element of the story. This gentle, heartwarming illustration feels like a page from a storybook, portraying their relationship wrapped in soft light and tender colors.
{086/083}Froakie
Froakie is a quadrupedal, frog-like Pokémon that evolves into Frogadier and ultimately into Greninja. This stunning illustration depicts Froakie submerged underwater, peering at the surface. The remarkably realistic underwater scenery and its sheer beauty make this a truly captivating piece.
{096/083}Beedrill ex
Beedrill is a bee-like Bug Pokémon characterized by its large red eyes and the sharp, conical poisonous stings on its forelegs. Currently gaining significant attention as a featured ex Pokémon in the Ninja Spinner set, its powerful gameplay performance has solidified its reputation as a top-tier hit card.
