Back to summary

Is Greninja 117 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 70 damage attack that needs 2 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

What does being a Darkness card do for Greninja 117?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

What knocks out Greninja 117 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 65 printed damage rather than 130.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 736 cards in the archive that can remove Greninja 117 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 70 printed damage against a bar of 65. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Greninjaweak to Fighting ×2

Greninjaresists Psychic -20

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Psychic resistance changes

Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

What is Greninja as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Greninja 117 is one print of Greninja. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

What has to be in play before Greninja 117 can be?

Greninja evolves from Frogadier, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Frogadier.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 658.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (140 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Greninja print, and can the older ones still be played?

40 prints carry this name in the archive, and 35 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (350 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Which rules apply to Greninja 117, and where can it be played?

Greninja 117 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Mist Slash, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 35 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs no Energy at all.
It cannot start the game in play — Frogadier has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 4,029 of 17,290

Darkness cardsNo. 377 of 1,248

Stage 2 cardsNo. 1,100 of 1,749

Unbroken BondsNo. 62 of 196

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 65 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 130 HP.
741 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 710 cards in one attack.
Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Greninja 117 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Greninja 117?

Greninja 117 has 130 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 65 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 130.

What is the strongest attack on Greninja 117?

Mist Slash, printed at 70 damage for 2 Energy — 35 damage per Energy card. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, or any other effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Greninja 117?

None. Greninja 117 carries a printed retreat cost of zero, so it can move out of the active spot without discarding any Energy. The once-a-turn limit on retreating still applies.

Can an older Greninja print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 35 prints listed on this page, 12 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Greninja evolve from?

Frogadier. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Greninja 117 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Greninja 117 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
