Secret Rare per box
TL;DR — Quick Verdict
Mega Greninja S is the set's main event — the first-ever Mega Greninja Pokemon card. Currently SGD ~370–400 raw on the Japanese market, projected SGD 675+ at English release.
Gold Mega Greninja has sold for SGD 900+ in Japan. Expect to open roughly 2 full cases before statistically hitting one.
Solid guaranteed hits — every box includes at least one Secret Rare, ~3 Art Rares, and ~4 EX cards. Better structure than early Scarlet & Violet era Japanese boxes.
Unless you are a content creator or shop owner, buying the Mega Greninja S single on the secondary market beats cracking a full case for ROI.
About Ninja Spinner
Ninja Spinner is a Japanese Pokemon TCG set in the Mega Evolution era, built almost entirely around Greninja. The set has a heavy water and blue-toned aesthetic — most chase hits feature Greninja, aquatic backdrops, or cool-colour palettes.
Most importantly, Ninja Spinner introduces Mega Greninja's Pokemon TCG debut. This is the first-ever Mega Greninja card, making the S Rare version a genuine rookie card for one of the community's most beloved Pokemon.
Card Types in the Set
EX Cards
Base-level hits. Expect ~4 per box.
Art Rares
12 unique arts total. Expect ~3 per box.
Secret Rares
Trainer, item, and Pokemon variants. Minimum 1 guaranteed per box.
S Rares (SIRs)
6 total in the set. The premium foil chase tier. ~1 per 4 boxes.
Gold Card
One Gold Mega Greninja in the set. ~1 per 2 cases.
Upgrade from early Scarlet & Violet era
Early SV-era Japanese boxes often gave you a low-value item as your single guaranteed "secret rare." Ninja Spinner boxes guarantee a meaningful Secret Rare, and several boxes in our case opening produced 2–3 Secret Rares in a single box — a significant improvement in opening feel and value floor.
Pull Rate Data
Based on a live 11-box case opening, March 2026.
Per Booster Box (Expected)
| Card Type | Expected Per Box | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| EX Cards | ~4 | Consistent across all boxes |
| Art Rares | ~3 | 12 unique arts — duplication likely in case quantities |
| Secret Rares | 1–3 (min. 1 guaranteed) | Some boxes contain multiple secret rares |
| S Rares | ~0.25 (1 per 4 boxes) | Not guaranteed per box |
| Gold Card | ~0.04–0.08 | Estimated 1 per 2 full cases |
Per Full Case (12 Boxes)
| Card Type | Expected Per Case | Our Case Result (11 boxes) |
|---|---|---|
| EX Cards | ~48 | 44 ✓ |
| Art Rares | ~36 | 33 ✓ |
| Trainer Secret Rares | ~12 | 11 ✓ |
| S Rares | ~3 | 3 (incl. 2× Mega Greninja S) ✓ |
| Gold Card | 0–1 (~50% chance) | 0 (not hit) |
Note on S Rare distribution: Our case pulled 3 S Rares from 11 boxes — Mega Greninja S (twice) and Roxy trainer S (once, a duplicate). Getting 2 of the top chase in a single case was a strong result. Statistically, expect 1 of your 3 S Rares to be Mega Greninja, not 2. The other S Rare slots are distributed across 5 other trainer and Pokemon S Rares in the set.
The Chase Cards Explained
Mega Greninja S (Special Illustration Rare)
The first-ever Mega Greninja Pokemon card. High-action artwork with a dark, layered composition — visually busy but unmistakably impactful. Greninja's consistent popularity in the Pokemon community makes this card a strong long-term hold candidate.
Current Price (Japanese raw)
SGD ~370–400
English Launch Projection
SGD ~675–810
Pull Odds
~1 per 4+ boxes
Comparable to: Greninja SIR from Twilight Masquerade — complex art, beloved Pokemon, premium rarity. That card held its value exceptionally well. Mega Greninja S follows the same playbook.
Gold Mega Greninja
The single Gold card of the entire set. Already seeing Japanese sales of SGD 900+. Pull rates are extremely low — roughly 1 per 2 full cases — which is why these cards hold commanding premiums even as newer sets release.
Observed Japanese Sale
SGD ~900+
English Launch Projection
SGD ~1,350+
Pull Odds
~1 per 2 cases
Strategy note: Buying a Gold Mega Greninja as a secondary market single is far more cost-efficient than case-cracking to hunt one. At ~SGD 900 per card vs SGD 4,000+ expected case costs to statistically hit one, buying direct is obvious math.
Other S Rares in the Set
Ninja Spinner has 6 S Rares total. Beyond Mega Greninja, the other S Rares are trainer and supporting Pokemon cards. Expect them to trade in the SGD 80–150 range for most, with none approaching the Greninja S in value.
Important: When you hit an S Rare from a Ninja Spinner pack, there is only approximately a 1 in 6 chance it is the Mega Greninja S. Opening boxes is not an efficient method to target a specific S Rare.
SGD Price Guide
All prices in SGD. Japanese market conversions at ~1 USD = 1.35 SGD. March 2026.
| Card | Japanese Raw (now) | English Launch Est. | Long-term Hold Est. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Greninja S | SGD ~370–400 | SGD ~675–810 | SGD ~400–500 |
| Gold Mega Greninja | SGD ~900+ | SGD ~1,350+ | SGD ~900–1,100 |
| Other S Rares | SGD ~80–160 | SGD ~100–200 | SGD ~60–120 |
| Art Rares (top) | SGD ~30–60 | SGD ~40–80 | SGD ~20–50 |
| EX Cards | SGD ~5–15 | SGD ~5–20 | SGD ~3–12 |

Single vs Box vs Case: Which Makes Sense?
Buying singles → Best ROI
Buy Mega Greninja S raw at SGD 370–400 from Carousell or local shops. Direct exposure to the upside without case variance. Move before English launch announcements soften Japanese copy prices.
Buying 1–2 boxes → Best experience
At SGD 165–190 per box (import price), one box gives you the guaranteed Secret Rare experience, a handful of Art Rares, and a small S Rare shot. Fun opening without breaking the bank.
Buying a full case → Content creators and shops only
At SGD 2,000–2,100 per case, you are spending significant money for ~3 S Rares with no guarantee of hitting Greninja. Only makes sense if you monetise through YouTube, Whatnot, or shop sales.
Should You Grade a Mega Greninja S?
With a raw price of SGD ~380, Mega Greninja S sits comfortably in PSA submission territory. A PSA 10 on this card — especially if the English set performs as projected — could realistically reach SGD 800–1,200+ based on comparable SIR graded performance in the Mega Evolution era.
Grade if:
- ✓ You pulled it from a fresh pack
- ✓ Card shows no visible print lines or centering issues
- ✓ You are holding long-term for English release cycle
- ✓ Card value is SGD 350+ (PSA fee justified)
Skip grading if:
- ✗ Card has visible print line or centering issues
- ✗ You plan to sell quickly (grading wait adds months)
- ✗ You bought a secondary market copy with unknown handling history
Singapore tip
Submit via Oxley Grading (190 Clemenceau Ave, Singapore Shopping Centre) for PSA submissions. Use the USA route — it costs ~SGD $4 more than the Japan route but saves 2–3 months of turnaround time. See our full PSA grading guide for Singapore for submission details.
How Ninja Spinner Compares to Other Mega Evolution Sets
vs Twilight Masquerade
Most similar. Twilight was a "just okay" set that produced a very expensive Greninja SIR that held value long-term. Ninja Spinner is structurally identical — one dominant Greninja chase carrying the whole set. Bullish signal for long-term Mega Greninja S holders.
vs Ascended Heroes
Ascended Heroes had multiple premium chases but low hit rates. Ninja Spinner has better box value (guaranteed Secret Rares) but narrower pull depth. Better opening feel, fewer high-value cards overall.
vs Phantasmal Flames
Both sets concentrate almost all their value into one chase (Charizard vs Mega Greninja). Phantasmal Flames is smaller. Ninja Spinner has a richer box-opening experience but similar "one big card" structure.
