What began as a mysterious trademark now seems increasingly poised for a major reveal. The name "Ninja Spinner," which surfaced in Japan a few months ago, fits perfectly with the new Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution series .
And while there's no official confirmation yet, all signs point to Mega Greninja ex coming.
From trademark to hype: Ninja Spinner
When the Ninja Spinner trademark first appeared, the internet went wild. The name immediately evoked associations with ninjas, shuriken, and speed, precisely what Greninja embodies. The TCG community also recognized the familiar pattern of previous set registrations, quickly fueling speculation.
We now know that the Pokémon TCG is undergoing a major Mega Evolution revival , and Ninja Spinner seems to fit seamlessly into that theme. So it's no wonder many fans think Greninja (or Mega Greninja) will be the star of this upcoming set.
Why Mega Greninja is so likely
Greninja has been a popular Pokémon from the franchise for years, with promos, special boxes, and iconic artwork. Now that the TCG is once again focusing on Mega Evolutions, it seems almost inevitable that Greninja will finally get a Mega form in the TCG game.
The name Ninja Spinner also perfectly reflects Greninja's character: the ninja frog who pelts his enemies with water shurikens. Adding the recent Mega Blockade to the mix, it seems likely we'll see a Mega Greninja EX card soon, even though it hasn't been officially confirmed yet.
The Mega Evolution series is taking shape
What we do know is that the Pokémon TCG is working on a series of sets that revolve entirely around Mega Evolutions.
After releases like Mega Brave and Inferno X, we expect Ninja Spinner to be the next step within this Mega period.
If the trend continues, Ninja Spinner will highlight the stealthy, speedy side of Mega Evolutions, a perfect thematic match for Greninja.
Looking back: from speculation to expectation
When the trademark was first registered, it was still pure speculation. No one knew whether it referred to a specific Pokémon, a new mechanic, or a completely new theme.
Now, with the context of the Mega Series and the growing hints towards Greninja, the picture has become much clearer, although we are still a little cautious.
It remains possible that Ninja Spinner points to something unexpected, but all signs point in the same direction.
What we are monitoring now
- Official announcements from The Pokémon Company regarding the next TCG set.
- Further revelations from the Mega Evolution series.
- Any leaks or teasers featuring Greninja or Mega Greninja in a prominent role.
Until then, Ninja Spinner remains one of the most intriguing TCG trademarks of the moment, and there's a good chance it will bring us a spectacular Mega Greninja ex soon.
Summary:
- Ninja Spinner is a new Pokémon TCG trademark, strongly linked to the Mega Evolution series.
- All indications are that Mega Greninja ex will take center stage.
- No official confirmation yet, but very likely given the current TCG trend.
- More news is expected once the next Mega Set is officially announced.
