As part of the Celebrations 25th Anniversary, the Greninja Star SWSH144 promo offers a nostalgic nod to the EX-era Gold Star cards, now featuring Greninja at the center with modern Sword & Shield templating. Masakazu Fukuda's distinctive artwork and the iconic ★ symbol make the card a popular grading candidate and a must-have for both Greninja fans and dedicated TCG collectors. The card is only available as this foil promo and was never released in other versions.
LP (Light Play) condition means the card may show light signs of wear but still looks great in both a collection and on display. For collectors aiming to complete their Celebrations Elite Trainer Box or seeking unique Sword & Shield promo cards, Greninja Star is a natural choice.
