Is Mega Greninja Coming in Pokémon Legends ZA? A Closer Look at the “Ninja Spinner” Trademark
Pokémon fans, sharpen your shurikens—there’s a new trademark in town that’s setting speculation ablaze. The Pokémon Company has filed a brand-new trademark for the Trading Card Game (TCG), and it’s called Ninja Spinner.
For long-time fans, that name immediately screams one thing: Greninja. The beloved Water/Dark-type starter from Kalos is famous for its spinning water shuriken attacks and ninja aesthetic. Could this be our first real hint that Mega Greninja is finally making its debut?
Let’s break down the timeline and see how it all lines up:
-
June 6: Black Bolt and White Flare wrap up the Scarlet & Violet TCG era.
-
August 1: Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia usher in the Mega Evolution era of the TCG, likely featuring already-known Mega Evolutions.
-
October 16: Pokémon Legends ZA releases—where new Mega Evolutions are expected to be fully revealed.
-
Late October: Ninja Spinner hits stores, perfectly timed to spotlight the new Megas from Legends ZA.
The positioning of Ninja Spinner—after the release of Legends ZA—makes it a likely candidate to feature brand-new Mega Evolutions, possibly ones introduced in the game. And with a name like that, it's hard to imagine Greninja not being involved.
So, is this just clever branding, or is it our first concrete sign that Mega Greninja is coming? Given the hype surrounding Legends ZA and the return of Mega Evolutions, it certainly feels like more than coincidence.
Let us know your thoughts—are we finally getting the Mega Greninja we’ve dreamed of, or is Ninja Spinner just a red herring?
