What Greninja BREAK 41 does without attacking

Greninja BREAK 41 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

1 of 1

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Giant Water Shuriken — Ability · once a turn

Once during your turn (before your attack), if this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, you may discard a Water Energy card from your hand. If you do, put 6 damage counters on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Giant Water Shuriken can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

This effect places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Giant Water Shuriken puts damage counters on a Pokémon rather than dealing damage to it. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the rules keep them apart: effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them.

What does being a Water card do for Greninja BREAK 41?

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.

Deals double to this card — no weakness printed Damage from the printed weakness attacks is increased before it is applied.

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

Greninja BREAK 41 is one print of Greninja BREAK. 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 BREAK 41 can be?

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

Froakie → Frogadier → Greninja → Greninja BREAK

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Greninja.
The line runs 4 stages, so the first card has to be in play 3 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 (170 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 BREAK 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.

35 rows are shown of the 40 prints counted under this name.

Greninja BREAK 41 — frequently asked questions

What is the retreat cost of Greninja BREAK 41?

None. Greninja BREAK 41 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.

How often can you use Giant Water Shuriken?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of Greninja BREAK in play carries its own use.

Does Greninja BREAK 41 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Greninja BREAK 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 BREAK evolve from?

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

Can Greninja BREAK 41 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.

What does the rule on Greninja BREAK 41 mean?

The card reads “BREAK Evolution Rule: Greninja BREAK retains the attacks, Abilities, Weakness, Resistance, and Retreat Cost of its previous Evolution.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Greninja BREAK 41 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.
