Ash's Greninja EX from the Japanese Promo set is one of those cards that gets collectors talking the moment it comes up, and for good reason. Numbered #290/XY-P, it ties directly into Ash's own Greninja from the anime, which gives it a story that a lot of promo cards just don't have. If you're looking into Ash's Greninja EX value, the short version is that raw copies sit around $1,000, which already puts it well above your average promo pull.

Ash's Greninja EX — collector's take
Is Ash's Greninja EX worth grading?
So is it worth sending this one in? A PSA 10 comes in at $1,398, which works out to about 1.4x what you'd get for a raw, ungraded copy. That's a real jump, but it's not free money. Grading costs, shipping, and the wait all add up, and gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, plenty of copies come back as a 9 or lower once a grader gets a loupe on the surface and corners. If your raw copy already looks clean under a light with sharp corners and no whitening, grading can make sense. If there's any doubt, it might be smarter to enjoy it raw or sell it as is rather than gamble on the grading fee.
How rare is it?
We don't have population numbers to point to here, and honestly that's part of the story with a lot of Japanese promos like this one. Cards distributed through limited promotional channels tend to have print runs that never get fully documented, which makes every confirmed PSA 10 feel like a genuine find rather than something you can just go order online. That built in scarcity is a big part of why the price holds up the way it does, scarcity plus a beloved character from the show is a combination collectors chase.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we don't just repeat price guide numbers, we record actual pulls happening across pack opening sites in real time. Ash's Greninja EX has been pulled 8 times that we've recorded, all across collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $840. It's shown up in the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, so those are the products where collectors have actually hit it. Worth saying plainly, opening packs chasing a card like this is a gamble, most rips don't come close to matching what the card sells for on the secondary market, so go in with your eyes open.
