Key Set Details
Release Date (Japan): March 13, 2026
Main Set Size: 83 cards
English Release: Cards expected in Chaos Rising on May 22, 2026
New Mechanics: Mega Evolution Pokémon ex continue to dominate the metagame
The set also introduces new Illustration Rare cards, including stunning artwork for Ampharos and Tauros, with additional secret rares expected to be revealed soon.
Mega Evolution Pokémon Lead Ninja Spinner
Mega Evolution Pokémon are the centerpiece of the set, bringing huge HP totals and powerful attacks. Like previous Mega Evolution cards, they come with a trade-off: when they are knocked out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of two.
Mega Greninja ex
One of the most anticipated cards in the set is Mega Greninja ex, a Stage 2 Pokémon with an impressive 350 HP.
Highlights
Mortal Shuriken Ability places 6 damage counters on an opponent’s Pokémon by discarding a Water Energy.
Ninja Spinner attack deals 120 damage and can reach 200 damage by returning a Water Energy to your hand.
This combination of spread damage and heavy hitting power makes it a serious threat in competitive play.
Mega Pyroar ex
Another standout Mega Evolution is Mega Pyroar ex, featuring massive damage potential.
Key Attacks
Ferocious Bellow reduces the opponent's attack damage on the next turn.
Big Bang Fire can deal up to 290 damage, making it one of the strongest Fire-type attackers in the format.
Mega Dragalge ex
Mega Dragalge ex focuses on disruption and status effects.
Corrosive Liquid removes all Pokémon Tools and Special Energy from the opponent’s board.
Pernicious Poison inflicts Poison that deals 160 damage per turn, dramatically accelerating knockouts.
Mega Floette ex
While not as aggressive as other Megas, Mega Floette ex offers strong support options.
Gentle Light heals both players’ Pokémon.
Eternity Bloom deals 200 damage while attaching up to four Psychic Energy from the deck to Benched Pokémon.
Combined with the Ange Floette Stadium, its HP can reach extraordinary levels.
Other Notable Cards from Ninja Spinner
While Mega Evolutions headline the expansion, many other cards will impact gameplay.
Delphox – Energy Acceleration and Card Draw
The Stage 2 Fire-type Delphox introduces a powerful ability called Flare Magic, letting players discard a Fire Energy to draw until they have seven cards in hand.
Chesnaught – Defensive Counterplay
Chesnaught punishes attackers with its Needle Armor ability, placing damage counters on opponents whenever it is hit.
Crobat – Deck Control
Crobat features the Nighttime Maneuvers ability, allowing players to search their deck and place any card on top — a powerful setup tool.
Cinccino ex – Energy-Based Attacker
Cinccino ex can deal massive damage with Energized Slap, scaling its attack based on the amount of Energy attached.
New Trainer Cards and Special Energy
The set also introduces several impactful Trainer cards and Special Energy options.
Special Red Card
This comeback Item card forces an opponent with three or fewer Prize cards remaining to shuffle their hand to the bottom of their deck and draw three cards.
Book of Transformation
A unique Item that allows players to swap a Basic Pokémon in play with one from the discard pile, preserving all damage counters and attached cards.
New Special Energy Cards
Nitro Fire Energy returns to the hand if discarded by an attack.
Bubble Water Energy prevents Special Conditions entirely.
Magnet Metal Energy removes Retreat Cost from Metal Pokémon.
These new Energy cards could significantly influence deck building in future formats.
Ninja Spinner Pokémon Center Accessories
To celebrate the launch of the expansion, Pokémon Centers in Japan will also release a new line of TCG accessories on March 13.
The collection includes:
Themed card sleeves
Matching deck boxes
Exclusive playmats
These accessories feature artwork inspired by Pokémon appearing in the Ninja Spinner set and are expected to be highly collectible among fans.
