# Ash Greninja EX #XY133 — XY Black Star Promos

## Summary

Ash Greninja carries the weight of Kalos' most beloved starter line and the anime bond that made it a fan obsession, so the promo draws interest well beyond Water collectors. As a Black Star promo rather than a booster pull, it sits outside the usual rarity chase, and 5ban Graphics is a reliably popular name. The modelled guide sits at $116 with 118 copies traded in 30 days; PSA has slabbed 2,593 of these and only 26 are 10s, a 1% gem rate that makes the raw-to-gem gap the entire trade.
